Clint Eastwood and the Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16753 "Root Beer" - Actor's Watch #1

"A watch represents the person who wears it"

Have you ever heard of this expression? Originally, a watch was used as a device to check the time, but it is also considered an item that represents the status of its owner.
For example, just wearing a luxury watch

"Having enough assets to make a purchase" ⇒ "A person who is successful in business and good at his/her job"

I think you can get the image like this. It could be said that one watch expresses a person’s character.

That is why, in movies and TV dramas, the watches worn by celebrities and other famous people continue to attract the attention of audiences and fans, either as props that express the individuality of the characters or as items that help understand the personalities and values ​​of famous people and entertainers.

Well, this time we will be focusing on the watches worn by the famous actor Clint Eastwood and taking a closer look at who he is.

Clint Eastwood's Watch

If you're a watch and movie lover, this alone will probably suffice.
That's right, "root beer."

Clint Eastwood became a huge star by starring in many hit Spaghetti Westerns (Italian-made Westerns) that were popular in the 60s and 70s, but it was in the 80s and 90s that he began to frequently wear a distinctive watch on his wrist.

The watch in question is the Rolex GMT-Master (Ref. 16753) “Root Beer” with a two-tone brown and gold bezel, which Clint Eastwood has worn repeatedly in several of his films.

Movies featuring "Root Beer"

In all three films, Eastwood can be seen with a root beer bottle on his wrist.

Famous actors wear luxury watches in movies and TV dramas, but it is a little unusual for the same actor to wear the same model in multiple movies.

Features of the Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16753 "Root Beer"

The Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16753 is equipped with the high-beat Cal. 3075, is water resistant to 100m, and also features a quick calendar change, making it the third-generation model of the GMT-Master, with significantly improved accuracy and functionality compared to the previous Ref. 1675.

There is a scene in the movie where the watch is shown in full view, and the indexes look like barnacles (called "nipples" in English), a feature of the early models. The dial also seems to be a glossy shiny brown , so there is no doubt that this is a model that is now very popular as a semi-vintage watch, commonly known as a teapot .

Clint Eastwood and "Root Beer"

The GMT-Master Ref. 16753 “Root Beer” worn by Clint Eastwood has also been seen wearing it in private, so it is likely a personal item.

To an audience that is watching the film because Eastwood is in it, rather than the individuality or personality of the characters, Eastwood wears his beloved Rolex to fully express his personality, a prop choice that is perhaps only afforded to a superstar who the audience can call by name.

And when it comes to Clint Eastwood, it's the Spaghetti Westerns. Sergio Leone's aesthetics, Ennio Morricone's lyricism, and Clint Eastwood's rebelliousness. It's awesome (laughs).

Both of his starring films, "A Fistful of Dollars" and "A Fistful of Dollars," are depicted with brown capes and yellow sand, creating a world of root beer color! If Rolex had existed during the Wild West (around 1860-1890), the brown and gold GMT "Root Beer" would have been the prop of choice. I would have loved to see the gunslinger "Nameless" Eastwood wearing a teapot on his wrist...

summary

Clint Eastwood is still actively making films at the age of 90.
In recent years, it seems that more and more people are wearing the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 .

The Lange 1, the ultimate in sophistication, is a perfect fit for Eastwood, who has become a star actor and now a famous director. We hope he continues to make movies in the future.
