Get Out (2017) is a horror film that won the Best Original Screenplay award at the 90th Academy Awards. Daniel Kaluuya, who played the lead role in this film, made a big breakthrough with the film's huge success and high praise, and later won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Judas and the Black Messiah (2021). As a popular and talented black actor, he has consistently appeared in hit films such as Nope (2022) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 189th installment, we will introduce Daniel Kaluuya's favorite watch .
Vacheron Constantin
Overseas Chronograph [Ref.5500V/110A-B481]
The Black Women in Hollywood Awards ceremony, which recognizes black women in the entertainment industry, was held in Los Angeles in March 2023. Daniel Kaluuya, who attended as one of the presenters, was wearing a watch that appears to be a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph (Ref. 5500V/110A-B481).
This is the "reverse panda" Overseas Chronograph, released in 2018, with a black dial and silver subdials. It is a popular "luxury sports" model that exudes an elegant yet casual and sporty atmosphere. In addition, it is equipped with an "interchangeable system" that allows you to change the strap with one touch without using tools, making it a very useful watch for celebrities who often appear in public with a variety of styles in various situations.
IWC
Ingenieur Chronograph [Ref. IW380803 ]
Next up is the 2018 Academy Awards. Daniel Kaluuya was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his breakout film, Get Out. Although he sadly missed out on the award, this nomination drew the attention of many filmmakers, and undoubtedly led to him winning an Oscar three years later. The watch he wore on the red carpet that year was an IWC Ingenieur Chronograph (Ref. IW380803).
The Ingenieur is famous as a sporty watch designed by Gerald Genta, the designer of the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, but this model follows the look of the dressy Ingenieur before Genta designed it in 1976.
Daniel Kaluuya chose a red gold Ingenieur watch with a black dial and black strap to match his unique camel-colored tuxedo. It's hard to believe that this is his first Oscar nomination, but he shows off his stylish style.
Cartier

Finally, the 2021 Academy Awards ceremony. Set in the 1960s, "Judas and the Black Messiah" is based on a true story about the battle between the Black Panther Party, a black liberation movement, and the FBI. Daniel Kaluuya played Fred Hampton, the leader of the Black Panther Party, and was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
At the press conference, Daniel Kaluuya exchanged warm congratulations with Frances McDormand, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." The watch he is wearing appears to be a Cartier Santos de Cartier Skeleton (Ref. WHSA0007).
summary
What did you think?
The lineup includes the Overseas, Ingenieur, and Santos, suggesting that he prefers models that exude an elegant yet sporty atmosphere. Daniel Kaluuya was still in his 20s in 2018, but choosing the Ingenieur shows that he has a rather mature taste in watches.
This is a shot of director Jordan Peele and star Daniel Kaluuya from Get Out. Jordan Peele, originally a comedian, selected Daniel Kaluuya to play the lead role in his directorial debut, Get Out. The film's huge success was a big step up in both of their lives, so it's only natural that the two share a deep bond. As a fan, I was delighted to see the two team up again for Peele's third film, Nope (2022), which also produced a huge hit.
Now, director Jordan Peele has a new movie scheduled to be released in October 2026. At present, the cast has not been revealed, but personally, I would like to see Peele and Kaluuya team up again. I will wait for further news in anticipation.
See you later!
