Al Pacino has starred in many masterpieces and classic films that are known to any movie fan, such as "The Godfather" (1972), "Scarface" (1983), and "Heat" (1995), and is known as one of Hollywood's two greatest legendary actors, along with Robert De Niro.
Even in his 80s, he has appeared in major films such as "The Irishman" (2019) and "House of Gucci" (2021), and in 2023 he had a child with a female film producer 54 years his junior, demonstrating his energetic activities regardless of his age.
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 178th installment, we will introduce Al Pacino 's favorite watch .
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Deepsea Vintage Chronograph [Ref. Q207857 ]
First, let's start with the 2014 Venice International Film Festival. This is a snapshot of Al Pacino at a press conference where two of his films, "Broken" and "The Humbling, " were screened.
The watch he was wearing at the time was the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph (Ref. Q207857J). This model is a tribute to the Memovox Deep Sea, released in 1959, and was released exclusively at boutiques. The vintage-finished luminous finish, which exudes a 50s-60s atmosphere, and the casual appearance of the two-register watch on the side, match Al Pacino's rough, resort-like styling.
omega
Constellation [Ref.14381]
Next up is the timeless classic " The Godfather Part II " (1974), in which Al Pacino plays the mafia boss Michael Corleone. In one of the most famous scenes in the film, when Michael finds out that his brother Fredo has betrayed him, he grabs Fredo's face and pours out his sorrow. The watch Al Pacino wore in this scene is thought to be an Omega Constellation (Ref. 14381).
The story is set in the late 1950s. This model was produced in the late 1950s, so it's a watch that fits the era perfectly. The so-called "pie pan dial" with its dodecagonal raised dial is still used today as the Omega Constellation Globemaster .
Rolex
Submariner [Ref.16610][Ref.16610]
I thought I had seen the aforementioned Rolex Submariner (Ref. 16610) somewhere before, so I looked it up and found it in the much talked about documentary film "Looking for Richard" (1996), which recorded the production process of Al Pacino's stage adaptation of Shakespeare's "Richard III."
Al Pacino, who is discussing his acting plans with Kevin Spacey, is probably wearing the same Rolex Submariner (Ref. 16610). If this is the same watch he wore in "An Evening with Al Pacino" in 2015, he has been wearing the same Submariner for nearly 20 years. In a good way, this is a very solid watch hobby that is not typical of a big star.
summary
What did you think?
Al Pacino has played many intimidating characters in movies, such as the boss of a mafia family and the don of a drug cartel , but according to interviewers, he is an honest and modest person who doesn't flaunt his big-shot status. His personality seems to be reflected in his choice of watches, as he has been using the reasonable and simple "Ref. 16610" for many years.
As mentioned at the beginning, as of 2024, Al Pacino, now 84 years old, is still as active as ever in his acting career, and is set to play an exorcist priest in the exorcism horror film " The Ritual, " scheduled for release in 2025, and an art collector in the biographical film about sculptor Modigliani, "Modi," directed by Johnny Depp (pictured is his role as a priest in " The Ritual" ).
In recent interviews, there are few photos showing his wrist, so it is unclear whether he is still wearing the "Ref. 16610". That said, we hope that he will continue to wear the same watch that he loves after coming this far. For all watch enthusiasts, if you see Al Pacino in the media in the future, be sure to pay attention to his wrist.
see you!
