"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 170th installment, we will introduce Ryan Reynolds ' favorite watch .
Recently, American comic book movies have been struggling at the box office, but it is no exaggeration to say that the Deadpool series is one of the most popular. The trailer for the third film in the series, Deadpool & Wolverine, scheduled for release in July 2024, was viewed more than 365 million times in 24 hours, and fans' expectations are only growing. The "love of Deadpool" of Ryan Reynolds, the lead actor in the series who also produced and wrote the screenplay, seems to have been recognized by comic book fans and is leading to the big numbers.
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will be introducing Ryan Reynolds ' watch collection.

This is a shot of Ryan Reynolds visiting a TV station in New York to promote the movie " Self-Less, " which will be released in July 2015. The watch he is wearing on his right arm as he gets out of his car is thought to be a Panerai Luminor Marina (Ref. PAM00003) .
He appeared on a TV show wearing this look, including the watch, so it is probably his own favorite item, not a sponsored item or a personal item of a stylist. A black dial would give a heavy impression, but by choosing a white dial model, which is rare for Panerai, he exudes a light and intellectual image.

Next up is the popular talk show " This is a scene from when he appeared on " The Ellen Show ." When asked by host Ellen DeGeneres, "Why isn't Hugh Jackman in 'Deadpool'?", Ryan Reynolds replied, "I offered him the role, but he's tired of action movies, and now he's only interested in singing and dancing movies like ' Les Miserables .'"
The watch he wore on the show was the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Black (Ref. 311.92.44.51.01.005) , an all-black model made of black ceramic in tribute to the crew of Apollo 8, the first man in the world to successfully observe the far side of the moon.

By the way, the watch that the host Ellen DeGeneres was wearing at the time was a Patek Philippe Grand Complication (Ref. 5271P) . Although not well known in Japan, Ellen DeGeneres, who was the host of the most popular talk show in the United States from 2003 to 2022, is a female comedian known to be a big fan of watches. She is known to own a number of extremely expensive items, including a Rolex Daytona Paul Newman (Ref. 6241) , a Submariner (Ref. 6538) , and a Patek Flip Nautilus (Ref. 5711) .

Next up was the Met Gala , an annual fashion art festival held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many celebrities are invited to this event, and their outfits on the red carpet make headlines. Ryan Reynolds escorted his wife, actress Blake Lively, to the press. On his wrist was an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional (Ref. 310.60.42.50.10.001) .
The dress code for the 2022 Met Gala was " Gilded Glamour " and " White Tie, " so he chose a solid gold watch with a yellow gold base "Moonshine Gold" for his formal attire. A simple two-hand watch is customary for formal attire, but he went against that and stuck to his "love for the Speedmaster."

The last one was from the Korean premiere of the Netflix movie " 6 Underground " (2019) directed by Michael Bay. This movie depicts the activities of a vigilante unit that eliminates criminals and terrorists that even the law cannot touch. Ryan Reynolds plays the billionaire and leader of the unit, "Wang". At this event, he wore an OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Chronograph Dark Side of the Moon (Ref. 311.92.44.51.01.003) .
Chopard is a production partner of this film, and several Chopard watches appear in the film. Usually, in these situations, a Chopard watch would be worn out of consideration for the sponsor, but the strength (weight?) of his "love for his favorite" is incredible as he stubbornly continues to wear his beloved Speedmaster.
summary
What did you think?
While many Hollywood celebrities love rare and expensive watches such as Rolex and Patek Philippe , Ryan Reynolds loves the much more affordable Speedmaster . He has never served as an ambassador for Omega, so he probably collects and wears Speedmasters purely as a "personal hobby."

" Deadpool " (2016) set the world record for the highest opening box office gross for an R-rated movie, and " Deadpool 2 " (2018) broke the previous world record. " Deadpool & Wolverine ", scheduled for release in July 2024, has set a world record for the number of views for its trailer, and it is no exaggeration to say that Deadpool (self-proclaimed: "I-chan") is the American comic book hero most loved by fans in the world right now.
Ryan Reynolds fell in love with the character and was involved in the production and scriptwriting of this " Deadpool as in the comics, " and fans are going wild with the movie, and it's clear that they are all enthusiastic fans. It's only because he's a man who can stick to his love for the Speedmaster that he can make a movie full of love for Deadpool.
I guess nothing beats "love" in anything. I want to follow his example and become a man who doesn't hesitate to spend even more on the things I like. To start with, I want to leave my work and go to the cinema as often as possible to watch "Mad Max: Furiosa" and "Uma Musume: Pretty Derby"!
see you!
