[Genderless] Hollywood actresses who wear men's Rolexes - Actor's Watch #190

In the past, the watches worn by Hollywood actresses were often from jewelers such as Cartier and Bulgari, but in recent years, as gender-specific expression has fallen out of favor, it seems that more and more actresses are wearing men's watches both on screen and in private.

"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 190th installment, we will introduce Hollywood actresses who wear Rolex men's models.

Jennifer Aniston

Milgauss Black DLC Custom [Ref.116400]

Jennifer Aniston rose to fame playing Rachel in the TV drama "Friends" (1994), married Brad Pitt in 2000, and divorced him in 2005. Now, she is best known as "Brad Pitt's ex-wife." Personally, I remember her most memorable role as Annie, the single mother of the protagonist in the animated film "The Iron Giant" (1999).

The watch she wears is the Rolex Milgauss Black DLC Custom (Ref. 116400), which she wore while promoting her starring film, Marley and Me (2008), and at charity events for cancer treatment.

In addition to her, custom Rolexes coated with black DLC are also worn by Robert Downey Jr. from "Iron Man" (2008) and Jeff Goldblum from "Jurassic World 3: Overlord" (2022), and it seems that there are many fans of the watch in Hollywood.

Charlize Theron

Sea-Dweller Deep Sea [Ref.116660]

Charlize Theron, who played the girlfriend of a hitman in "2 Days" (1996), performed bold nude and love scenes, and has since appeared in many films as a sexy blonde beauty, becoming a popular actress. Her turning point came in "Monster" (2003), in which she starred and produced. She gained 15kg and played the role of Aileen Wuornos, a real-life prostitute who was executed for murdering seven men, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and this marked her awakening as a serious actress with acting skills.

In the action movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015), which created enthusiastic fans, she suggested to the director that she shave her head and gave a passionate performance as the revenge-seeking female warrior "Furiosa." Personally, when I think of Charlize Theron, the first thing that comes to mind is the heroic figure of "Furiosa."

Charlize Theron appeared in the stands at an NBA Lakers game in April 2010. As she brought food to her mouth, she was wearing a Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea (Ref. 116660). This photo was taken five years before she played Furiosa, but even at that time she was already choosing a big, rugged Rolex that seemed most suitable for a "fighter woman." A great choice, as expected.

Florence Pugh

Submariner [Ref.116618]

Florence Pugh is one of the most promising actresses in Hollywood right now, having gained attention for her role as the heroine in the horror film "Midsommar" (2019) and also played an important character in "Oppenheimer" (2023), which won seven Academy Awards. She has the perfect aura to play an emotionally unstable heroine.

In her first starring role alongside the great actor Morgan Freeman in the film "On or Off the 1990s," she wears a solid gold Rolex Submariner (Ref. 116618). It is depicted as an expensive keepsake from her father that brings about a turning point in her life.

A generation ago, the watch that fulfilled this role was a glittering, jeweled watch that anyone could see was obviously expensive, but now that role has been taken by Rolex sports models.

Zendaya

Daytona [Ref.116500LN]

Zendaya played the heroine in the Spider-Man trilogy (2017-) starring Tom Holland, and also made her presence known in The Greatest Showman (2017) where she co-starred with Hugh Jackman, and in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi blockbuster Dune (2021). There is also news that she is in negotiations to appear in the new film The Drama, produced by Ari Aster, director of the hit horror film Midsommar, and as a horror movie fan, I can't help but pay attention to Zendaya these days.

Well, the watch she was wearing when she was photographed shopping in 2022 was a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116500LN) with a white dial. Zendaya is currently dating Tom Holland, who co-starred with her in the Spider-Man trilogy, and Tom Holland also wears the same Rolex Daytona. It's interesting to wonder if they own the watch together or if they share it together.

summary

What did you think?

There were Rolexes with case diameters of 40mm or more, such as the Milgauss, Deepsea, Submariner, and Daytona, but I think that there are few people who would feel strange if an actress were to wear such a men's Rolex these days. It makes us realize how quickly the times are changing.

That said, going back to the 1960s, female characters were already wearing men's Rolex watches in movies. The photo above shows Pussy Galore, the villainous Bond girl from "Goldfinger" (1964). The tomboyish beauty who takes the captured James Bond to court in the plane she pilots herself is wearing the first Rolex GMT-Master (Ref. 6542 ), just like a pilot.

This means that 60 years ago, Hollywood predicted that women would soon be wearing men's Rolex watches. It's amazing how film culture was ahead of its time.

Watching the film may give you an insight into the future of wristwatches.
