Harrison Ford is one of the indispensable actors in the works of directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, having played roles such as Dr. Indy in the "Indiana Jones" series and Han Solo in the "Star Wars" series.
As you may know, in 2023, at the age of 81, he returned to play Dr. Indy in the huge hit "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Doom." He continues to be active without showing any signs of aging.
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in the movies and on TV. In this, our 203rd edition, we will be introducing watches worn by Harrison Ford.
Breitling
Navitimer Pluto 2100 PVD [Ref. - ]
A photo of a young Harrison Ford from around 1984, smiling with a teacup in hand. The watch he is wearing on his left hand is thought to be a Breitling Navitimer Pluton 2100 PVD (Ref.-). This is a quartz model developed by Breitling for the French Air Force that displays the time in both analog (hands) and digital, commonly known as "ana-digi." It is unclear why Harrison Ford owned this niche military pilot watch.
However, he now owns more than 10 airplanes and even flies them himself, so this is a valuable photograph that shows that he had an interest in aviation from a young age.
Aerospace (Ref. E65062)
The Call of the Wild (2020) is a nature drama film about a kidnapped pet dog who becomes a "sled dog" in Alaska and awakens to his animal instincts in the harsh natural environment. Harrison Ford, who played an adventurer who protects dogs in this film, wore a Breitling Aerospace (Ref. E65062) watch when he visited a TV station to promote the film.
Like the Navitimer Pluto 2100 mentioned above, this is a Breitling "analog-digital" model that combines analog and digital displays. When flying an airplane as a pilot, this "analog-digital" display is probably the most functional and easy to read for him. Perhaps because there are many pilots with similar preferences, Breitling continues to manufacture the Aerospace collection, which features this "analog-digital" display.
Rolex
Datejust [Ref.16030]
The last one is from the movie "Witness" (1985), for which Harrison Ford was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In this movie, he plays a detective investigating a murder case that took place in an Amish village. The watch he wore in this movie is thought to be a Rolex Datejust (Ref. 16030).
This is a watch with a so-called "Buckley dial," which combines a white dial with large Roman indexes printed on it and highly visible black hands. Of all the elegant Rolex Datejusts, the Buckley dial, which stands out for its particularly high visibility, is a choice that is very much in keeping with the style of an airplane lover.
summary
What did you think?
Harrison Ford owns more than 10 planes and sometimes even flies them to filming locations. It's only natural that he would wear Breitling, the leading pilot watch. His penchant for analog-digital watches is especially evident in his love of pilot watches.
Now, in "Captain America: Brave New World," scheduled for release in 2025, Harrison Ford will play President Thunderbolt, replacing William Hurt, who died in 2022. It seems that the day has come when he will become a part of the "MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)."
After "Captain America," "Thunderbolts" is scheduled for release, in which the villains gathered by Thunderbolt, played by him, battle each other.
Harrison Ford denied the rumor that he will retire in 2023, saying, "I feel bad if I'm not working," and said, "I love acting." If he continues like this, we'll be able to enjoy his acting in the cinema for a long time to come. As a fan, I'm very happy about that.
See you later!
