"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 175th installment, we will introduce Chris Pratt 's favorite watch .
Chris Pratt became hugely popular after playing the lead role of the space outlaw Star- Lord in the blockbuster series Guardians of the Galaxy ( 2014). He went on to become popular with children for his role as a dinosaur-loving zookeeper in Jurassic World (2015), and as you all know, he expanded his horizons as the voice actor for Mario in the CG animation The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will be introducing Chris Pratt 's watch collection.

In January 2019, Chris Pratt announced his engagement on social media, and his partner's name is Katherine Schwarzenegger. Yes, she is the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger , who is well known for " The Terminator " (1984). In other words, Chris Pratt has become Schwarzenegger's "son-in-law."
Along with the engagement announcement, a lovey-dovey photo of the couple was uploaded to social media. The watch he was wearing was a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116500LN) . This watch is often seen wearing by him in private and is thought to be his favorite watch for off-time. Since he chose it to commemorate his life, his engagement, it's fair to say it's his "most favorite watch."

Next up is July 2019. Chris Pratt, the star of the movie "Jurassic World," appeared at the opening event of Universal Studios USA's new attraction, " Jurassic World - The Ride." The watch he was wearing at the time was the Cartier Santos de Cartier ( Ref. WGSA0030 ) .
Chris Pratt has a strong image of being a "nice guy" both in his movie roles and off screen, so his choice of watch was surprising. Perhaps he is trying to break away from his role as an action star into an elegant dandy actor...
Panerai
Luminor Marina [ Ref.PAM01115 ]

When Chris Pratt appeared at the premiere of " Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 " in Los Angeles in May 2023, he was wearing a Panerai Luminor Marina (Ref. PAM01115) .
This rare model is limited to 70 pieces worldwide and features a classic blue hand. It is stylish that the strap has been replaced with the same color as the tie. I think that this is probably the stylist's work, not the actor himself. But it's still comforting to see an action star wearing a Panerai. The large Luminor Marina stands out against his well-trained physique.

And finally, we have Panerai. This is a promotional shot of Pixar's animation " Onward, " in which Chris Pratt was a voice actor, released in March 2020. Incidentally, Tom Holland, who co-starred with Chris Pratt in this film, is known for making fatal spoiler remarks when promoting movies, and is nicknamed "Prince of Spoilers" by movie fans. Apparently, in order to prevent him from making any spoiler remarks, Tom Holland was not allowed to see the finished film until just before its release.
Chris Pratt, who appeared at a movie event with the "Prince of Spoilers," was wearing a Panerai Luminor 1950 GMT Ceramica (Ref. PAM1441) . The Luminor 1950 features a rounded case design that pays homage to the 1950s model. The black ceramic Panerai creates a casual atmosphere with a knit and jacket style.
summary
What did you think?
When I saw him wearing a Cartier Santos, I initially thought, " He's wearing an elegant watch that doesn't suit his appearance ," but in the end, the action star settled on a Panerai. I can't help but feel that the watch preferences of his father -in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, also had a big influence on him.

Chris Pratt's latest work is " The Garfield Movie" (2024). He voices Garfield, a popular cat character in Japan. By the way, Garfield's father, Vic, is played by Samuel L. Jackson . Both Schwarzenegger and Samuel seem to have connections with punchy fathers both in public and private.
Speaking of Chris Pratt, his biggest role is Star-Lord, the main character of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. The story ended with Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 (2023), but in interviews, he said it was "possible" for him to play the role of Star-Lord again.
So, for now I'll be listening to some 80's hits and patiently waiting for Star-Road's return.
see you!
