"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 177th installment, we will introduce Norman Reedus ' watch .
The drama series "The Walking Dead" (2010-2022) began airing in 2010. In this series, which depicts human drama and survival in a world where zombies have plagued the world, he made his big break by playing Daryl Dixon, a violent but compassionate character with great physical abilities. This drama was a huge hit not only overseas but also in Japan, so many people may already know about it.
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will be introducing watches associated with Norman Reedus .
Rolex
Daytona [Ref.116508]
A shot of Andrew Lincoln, who played former sheriff Rick, the main character of "The Walking Dead," and Norman Reedus, who played Daryl. This is a shot from the San Diego Comic-Con, a national geek festival held in 2016.
The watch Norman Reedus is wearing in this photo is a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116508). This watch is his favorite Rolex, which he has been seen wearing many times both in public and private. The gold and black Daytona suits his wild rock star look. By the way, the two of them are said to go to lunch together on their days off.
Daytona [Ref.116519]
Next is a photo of a handsome young Norman Reedus that was published in a Japanese movie magazine in the early 2000s. This was around the time that Norman Reedus made his breakthrough in "The Punisher" (1999) and began appearing in Hollywood blockbusters such as "Blade II" (2002). The watch on his wrist is likely the latest model at the time, a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116519).
Although his scruffy beard is still the same as it is now, his sharp features and cool gaze remind me of the time when he was one of the popular young handsome actors who appeared on the covers of movie magazines and in many pictorials. Incidentally, he was wearing this watch in an interview around 2015, so there is no doubt that it is a watch that he has been using for a long time.
Cartier
Drive de Cartier [Ref.WSNM0009]
Next up is Norman Reedus, who appeared in a Cartier ad in 2016, with a handsome face that could be described as "pretty Darryl." He was wearing a denim shirt and jacket, which is a mature and calm outfit for him, and he was wearing a Cartier Drive de Cartier (Ref. WSNM0009) watch.
2016 was the year that Drive de Cartier was released. The actors who are used in advertisements in the year of the collection's release are important in determining the image of the product. Drive de Cartier is one of Cartier's few men's collections, and is a model that is advertised as "made for elegant men with wild instincts and strong independent spirit." Norman Reedus is a star who is perfectly suited to that image.
Seiko
Wired Kojima Productions Limited Collaboration Model [Ref.AGAT729]
From the left, Norman Reedus, game creator Hideo Kojima, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan in "The Walking Dead," make for a truly gorgeous three-shot. Norman Reedus plays the main character in Kojima's blockbuster game "Death Stranding," and Kojima is a big fan of "The Walking Dead," making this a dream collaboration that came true.
The watches worn by the three are Seiko Wired Kojima Productions Limited Collaboration Model (Ref. AGAT729). This limited chronograph features Ludens, the mascot character of Kojima's studio, Kojima Productions, on the dial and case back. Although it is a quartz-driven fashion watch, few people are willing to part with it, as it is purchased by fans of Kojima Productions, and it is becoming a rare item that is rarely available on the second-hand market.
summary
What did you think?
The two Rolex Daytonas, one gold and one platinum, introduced here are his two favorites, which he has been seen wearing for a long time, from old film magazine pictorials to recent interview videos. When it comes to watches, Norman Reedus seems to be devoted to his Daytona.
The Walking Dead will conclude in 2022, but a spin-off series starring Daryl, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, will begin airing in 2023. Season 2 is scheduled to air in the summer of 2024, and it looks like the popularity of Daryl, played by him, will continue.
Norman Reedus recently appeared at Osaka Comic Con 2024 (May 2024). He talked about the behind-the-scenes of The Walking Dead and interacted with fans, livening up the event.
What made me happy at Osaka Comic Con was that he spoke out loud that the rumors of the production of "The Punisher 3", the third movie of "The Punisher" (1999), which was the catalyst for his breakthrough, were true. "The Punisher", in which the McNamas brothers, played by Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus, exact divine punishment on evildoers who cannot be punished by law, is one of my personal favorite movies. For a while, I will be waiting for the completion of "The Punisher 3" in the name of the Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son.
see you!
