Watches that appear in movies arent just handsome accessories; they add depth to the characters by combining with the storyline. In the past, watches in movies often became incidental icons – the right watch strapped to the right (handsome) wrist. Later, watches in movies became carefully planned product placements by studios. But no matter how they got there, the best replica watches that appeared on the wrists of some of Hollywood’s biggest actors have become stars in their own right.
The silver screen is the best billboard in the world. Not only do you have the visual aspect, but you also have the time to explain the product, associate it with the ideal movie star, and even (in some cases) give it a unique character that the audience will forever associate with that watch. Much can be learned about a character through their choice (or counter-choice) of a watch. Throughout the history of cinema, many characters have worn watches and fashions and have enjoyed unprecedented success or longevity as a result. Savvy product placement can make a brand a lot of money, but more than that, it affects our cultural context in a real and tangible way.
We especially love luxury watches on the silver screen because of the awe they inspire. Avid collectors love to rewind to the past and see these beautiful (and now vintage) – pieces. Often, these replica watches even inspire an entire generation of collectors. So here, we’ve rounded up some of the most iconic movie watches you may have missed.
The watch only made a cameo appearance in the famous movie “Glengarry Glen Ross”. But today, we’re still talking about it. Alec Baldwin, playing an outside executive “from downtown”, says these cutting words and shows off this famous fake Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold, which immediately went down in movie history. The watch was already famous for being worn by world leaders, dignitaries, and celebrities – the movie interlude was really just a cheerleader for this iconic Rolex gold watch.
It’s a sneaky good movie, with an even better luxury watch lurking on the wrist of the debonair Mr. Clooney. George Clooney excels in the difficult role of Lee Gates, but the wordless performance of his solid gold Omega Speedmaster Professional watch is truly moving.
The premise of “Money Monster” is terrifying. A disgruntled investor goes berserk and overtakes a game show on live television. Who is the host of the show? None other than George Clooney. His character, Lee Gates, is held hostage along with his tempting stock. To know his (and its) fate, you must watch this movie.
Matthew McConaughey stars as the boisterous Mark Hanna in this 2013 classic. Hannah is a perfect example of the era. A genius, his methods, and approach are …… unconventional to say the least. These people in the film are very wretched in many senses of the word. You need to be a little wild to survive in that dog-eat-dog environment.
The fake Rolex Datejust is a flawless badge of power, but for a character like Mark Hanna, it can also serve as a disguise for the rest of the world. A luxury watch and a smart suit can go a long way toward earning somebody’s trust. One of the smartest investments he’s ever made.
We’re ending this list with a real curveball. Few people doubt Natalie Portman’s ability to play any role sent her way, but her performance as astronaut Lucy Cola is really something. The Oscar winner shines in the role, as does the unusual-yet-authentic Omega Speedmaster X-33 in titanium that calls her wrist home.
We’re going to end this list with a real curveball. Few doubted Natalie Portman’s ability to play any role, but her performance as astronaut Lucy Cora was truly remarkable. The Oscar winner shines in the role, as does the unusual but authentic Omega Speedmaster X-33 titanium watch on her wrist.
The film is a truly compelling exploration of the mental state of an astronaut who does and sees more than many mere mortals can comprehend. Perhaps this explains her somewhat odd choice, although this unusual analog/digital hybrid quartz watch is indeed the model worn by the astronauts, as it offers a high degree of functionality. While it is far less recognizable than the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch, the X-33’s appearance in the movie is highly accurate, which only further enhances the authenticity of this must-watch film.

2022 Panerai Luminor Marina eSteel
The major topic at Panerai this year was a concept watch that boasts 98.6% recycled material by weight, setting a new standard for the manufacture of recycled fake rolex watches. This year, Panerai also partnered with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO to develop a marine literacy campaign for the United Nations Decade of Marine Science for Sustainable Development.
Panerai aims to get more people using recycled materials on their wrists with the Luminor Marina eSteel, three 44mm automatic PAMs that look very much like your standard Luminor. Except for the rubber-colored crown and dial marked “eSteel”, even Paneristo-obsessed people will think these watches already exist in the Luminor collection.
All in all, 89 grams of the components of the Luminor Marina eSteel are made of recycled materials. This is out of a total watch weight of 152.4 grams. Both the case and dial are made of eSteel, a new alloy that incorporates recycled materials. This is the first Panerai watch to feature eSteel.
The Luminor Marina eSteel is available in three different versions. What you see above is the gray version, below that is the green version, and below that is the blue version. Each model has a rubber crown and a recycled PET strap in the corresponding color. These watches all have solid case backs and are also marked eSteel.
These are fairly conservative watches, even with the subtle colors of the dial. The eSteel logo on the dial is something I personally would pass up if it were an option. But I can also see people coming to these replica watches and Panerai, at least in part, based on their efforts to tap into recycled materials and circular manufacturing methods.
Mechanical watches are already built to last, and from that perspective, they’re an ideal product category for customers interested in sustainability. A brand that is actively looking to rethink its supply chain and adopt previously used materials feels like the next logical step-a step that could welcome more consumers and, crucially, the next generation of watch enthusiasts. It’s a smart idea, and here we see it reflected in a familiar design that almost any generation of watch enthusiasts will recognize from across the room.
Two New 36mm Rolex Explorers for Youth
In an unlikely turn of events, Rolex has just released two new Explorer models. The first is the stainless steel Explorer you all know and love, now in 36mm. The second is a 36mm Explorer in a two-tone Rolesor rendering. There are no rumors about its release on the watch internet; no grainy renders heralding its unveiling. It was a complete shock, and that’s because it’s the first-ever two-tone Explorer with the iconic “3, 6, 9” dial.
In addition to its reduced size, the new Oyster Steel Explorer, number 124270, gets another visual twist. 124270, gets another visual twist. The word “Explorer” has been moved to the 12 o’clock position. There is only one image available at the moment, but we will update it as it becomes available. Moreover, the price of the Oystersteel model has been reduced, a surprise that will surely please fans of the model. While the stainless steel model is sure to be a hit, it’s the other Explorer model that will be a crowd-pleaser.
The new Rolesor model numbered 124273. 124273, measures 36 mm, the same size as the original Explorer model launched after Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay successfully completed the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953. The yellow Rolesor case and strap are made of a combination of Oystersteel and 18-carat yellow gold. The dial is also lacquered to match the high profile of this new Explorer. Inside is the 3230 movement.
But why is this launch so shocking? For starters, over the past half-century, the Explorer has built a reputation as one of Crown Watch’s most resilient products. It has changed very little since the introduction of Ref. 1016 in 1963. It has changed little since the introduction of 1016, the spiritual ancestor of the modern Explorer, in 1963, and it has never been made of anything other than stainless steel for more than 50 years. The introduction of a little 18-carat gold in the form of a crown, bezel, and center link has therefore raised some eyebrows.
However, other so-called sporty replica watches have been two-tone for decades – think Submariner, Sea-Dweller, GMT-Master, and GMT-Master II. The Explorer has traditionally been closer to the “tool” end of the spectrum, but now with the release of the new 36mm Rolesor version, it takes on a whole new luxury character.
As with any fake Rolex model, its technical specifications are absolutely in line with the industry-leading innovations for which the brand is known. It’s no surprise to anyone that this new model features a new top-of-the-line movement, proprietary case and bracelet materials, and construction.
