After a brief holiday break, the red carpet is back, and so are the celebrities with their finest luxury timepieces. This week, we've got a lineup of watches that will make your jaw drop, from Dwayne Johnson's elegant IWC Portugieser to Jacob Elordi's dashing Cartier Tank. But here's where it gets even more fascinating: Chris Pratt and Connor Storrie both chose Hublot, while Stephen Graham flexed a legendary Rolex Daytona, and Colman Domingo donned his trusty Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra.
Let's dive into the details of these stunning timepieces and the celebrities who wore them.
Stephen Graham: Rolex Daytona
The Rolex Daytona that Stephen Graham wore to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation's career retrospective is a true legend. Produced between 2000 and 2016 (Ref. 116520), it was the first Daytona to feature the in-house Caliber 4130, giving the Crown true independence in terms of chronograph production. With a sleek, steel-on-steel design and a simple white dial, it's a timeless classic. You can usually find pre-owned examples for around $25,000.
Chris Pratt: Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium
Chris Pratt, known for his love of Panerai and IWC, surprised everyone by busting out a Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium for a Mercy photocall in London. Released in 2018, this 42 mm alternative to the original 44 mm model showcases a titanium case and a black skeleton dial, offering glimpses of the self-winding HUB1280 Unico movement. With a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and a chronograph system with a flyback function, it's a watch that's both functional and stylish. The price tag is $22,800.
Jacob Elordi: Cartier Tank LC
Jacob Elordi, who won Best Supporting Actor at Palm Springs for his role in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, paired his award with a Cartier Tank Louis Cartier. Released in 2023, this watch features a green lacquered dial and alligator strap, contrasted by a 25.5 mm gold case, matching gold hands, and a beaded crown set with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel. Elordi, a newly minted Cartier ambassador, paired the $14,800 piece with earrings from the Juste un Clou and Love collections.
Colman Domingo: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra
Colman Domingo, who killed it on the red carpet at the Los Angeles screening of Dead Man's Wire, paired a chic Zenga ensemble with Boucheron bling and his go-to Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra. Released in 2024, this watch has a simple black lacquered dial, free of the horizontal 'teak' pattern that typically graces the Aqua Terra. The model is available in 41, 38, or 34 mm stainless-steel cases, with a different Master Chronometer-certified movement added depending on the size. The 41 mm version, with a Caliber 8900, costs $7,000.
Dwayne Johnson: IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson wore a fittingly powerful IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar to Variety's Creative Impact Awards. Introduced in 2015, this 44.2 mm red-gold reference features a silver dial with indicators for the date, day, month, and year, as well as a perpetual moon phase display, a power reserve indicator, and a small seconds subdial. The automatic movement (Caliber 52610) provides an incredible power reserve of seven days, and the high-precision moon phase display only requires a one-day adjustment every 577.5 years. You can pick one up for $52,700.
Connor Storrie: Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold
Connor Storrie, star of Heated Rivalry, wore a royally flash Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold as he announced the 32nd Annual Actor Awards Nominations at SAG-AFTRA in L.A. This specific King Gold iteration features a 38 mm case and bezel in the Swiss watchmaker's signature 18-karat rose-gold alloy, which is warmer than traditional 5N gold. The black sunray dial is topped with King Gold hands and markers, creating an eye-catching contrast. The self-winding movement (HUB1110) has a 48-hour power reserve. The King Gold is available in four sizes, with the 38 retailing for $21,100.
Paul Mescal: Cartier Tank LC
Paul Mescal, who has found a fail-safe combination for red carpets in Gucci and Cartier, wore the Italian fashion house suits and French jeweler watches to the Critics Choice Awards and Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards. In Palm Springs, he sported his go-to Cartier Tank Louis Cartier, released in 2022, featuring a large 18-karat yellow gold case, a minimalist black dial with gold sword-shaped hands, a beaded crown set with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel, and a black alligator strap. It's priced at $14,800.
