"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 162nd installment, we will introduce Jason Statham 's favorite watch .
It has been 25 years since his film debut in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) as a slightly goofy thug. It is no exaggeration to say that he is now Hollywood's No. 1 action star, and he has captured the hearts of movie fans.
Here is the watch he wears in the movie:
☞ Read #151 [Lee Christmas] Jason Statham's watch
Jason Statham is known for often wearing Panerai watches in his movies, and today we will be introducing the watches he regularly wears.
Rolex
Daytona [Ref.6265]

When you think of "star watches," you think of Rolex. The watch worn by Jason Statham in the promotional footage for "Fast & Furious 7 " (2015) appears to be a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 6265).
In the Fast and Furious series, Jason Statham wore a Panerai Radiomir and a Rolex Submariner . He never wore a Daytona in the film, so this must be his personal watch. The Fast and Furious series is known for its intense car chases, so the Daytona driving watch fits the story better than the Radiomir or Submariner, but it would be a problem if a rare vintage Rolex were to get scratched during action scenes...
Explorer II [Ref.1655]

The next one is also from a vintage Rolex. A special preview of the action movie " Killer Elite " (2011) was held at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Jason Statham, who appeared at the event as the lead actor playing an assassin, wore a vintage Rolex Explorer II (Ref. 1655) .
In this film, which stars Jason Statham and the great actor Robert De Niro , the veteran assassin who becomes Statham's mentor, Robert De Niro wears a vintage Submariner (Ref. 5512 or 5513) . Perhaps this watch was chosen as a response to that.
IWC
Doppelchronograph [Ref. 3713-019 ]

Next up is the IWC Doppelchronograph (Ref. 3713-019) . Doppel means "double" in German, and refers to the fact that it is a split-second chronograph equipped with two chronograph hands. This watch was manufactured in the 1990s based on the design of the IWC Mark XI , a famous pilot's watch created during World War II, and is a symbol of IWC's history.
This is a paparazzi photo of his private life, but his facial expression, the sunglasses he is wearing, and his overall appearance are like a scene from a movie. The 42mm Doppelchrono watch stands out on his well-trained, muscular arm.
Patek Philippe
Nautilus [Ref. 5711/1A-001 ]

Next up is Tennis in 2022 Jason Statham, who came to watch the Wimbledon World Championships, was wearing a Patek Philippe Nautilus (Ref. 5711/1A-001) . It's safe to say that this is a familiar watch for Hollywood celebrities to wear when watching sports.
At the tournament, Rafael Nadal was wearing a Richard Mille, Novak Djokovic was wearing a Hublot, and Serena Williams was wearing a Royal Oak Offshore on the center court, while Jason Statham was wearing a Nautilus and Tom Cruise was wearing a Vacheron Constantin Overseas. The tournament was a parade of high-end watches on the court and in the audience, so if you enjoy watch spotting, be sure to check it out.

And finally, here it is. In the photo of Jason Statham with his wife, model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, he is wearing the Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph (Ref. 5980/1A-001) , the first chronograph model released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus . And...

These are Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronographs (Ref. 5980/1R-001) in different colors. Jason Statham owns a three-hand Nautilus and two Nautilus Chronographs. If things continue like this, I think we might see rare models like the Nautilus Petit Con (Ref. 5712/1A-001), the 40th anniversary model (Ref. 5976/1G-001), and the Tiffany Blue (Ref . 5711/1A-018 ) someday, so if I find any information about them, I'll let you know.
summary
What did you think?
Although Jason Statham often wears Panerai on screen, it was surprising that he never wears a Panerai in his private life. It would be difficult to wear a rare vintage Rolex or Nautilus in a movie with intense action scenes, so this lineup shows his style of "Panerai for on-time as an actor" and "vintage Rolex or Nautilus for off-time."

His next project is the action movie " The Beekeeper " (2024), in which a former special forces beekeeper attacks a huge fraud group to avenge his deceased benefactor. It has already been released in the United States and has received good reviews. It is said to be an action movie that any Jason Statham fan should watch.
The details of the Japanese release have not yet been decided, but I will definitely go see it when it is released, so please support me, distributors!
see you!
