1976 NBC. "Minotaur." Ben Murphy secret agent series based on The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. A radiation explosion has made Sam Casey invisible, but a special watch keeps him visible until he presses a button, and he only gets fifteen minutes of invisibility a day or he will be invisible forever. Only five episodes aired but all eleven plus the pilot are on Youtube. With Katherine Crawford and William Sylvester. Guest stars in this episode are Ross Martin and William Boyett.

Ross Martin is a disgruntled employee of Intersect, the agency Sam works for, and he has created a killer robot called the Minotaur that can level buildings with its ray gun, and he wants half a billion in cash or he will raze a random skyscraper. Sam has to try to infiltrate the secret lab but Minotaur can see him even when he is invisible because it has infrared capabilities. 

I have watched a few episodes of Gemini Man before on Youtube, and it is a pretty good 70s science fiction show, but I found the beeping watch to be annoying. Always with the beeping.
