Brad Pitt was known as the "second coming of Robert Redford" in his 20s and 30s for his orthodox good looks that represent Hollywood. Even in 2021, when he is approaching his 60th birthday, his manliness shows no signs of slowing down, making him a major star representing Hollywood in the 21st century, worthy of being called an "eternal good-looking man."

Rusty also wore a Rolex Day-Date in the previous film , Ocean's Twelve , which shows how much he values ​​a solid gold Rolex as a "scouting essential."

Moneyball

MONEY BALL (2011)

Sabermetrics is a method of player evaluation and strategic analysis using statistics that has become commonplace in the modern baseball world.

Moneyball is a human drama that depicts the rise of the Oakland Athletics , who were the first team in major league baseball to introduce sabermetrics in the early 2000s and won more than 100 games a year despite having one of the lowest annual salaries in the league, and the behind-the-scenes of the sports business. Brad Pitt plays the role of Billy Beane, the real-life GM of the baseball team who decided to introduce sabermetrics despite the strong opposition of veteran scouts and coaches.

The watch Brad Pitt wears in this movie is the TAG Heuer Kirium WL1113 . It is a futuristic watch with ergonomics that was popular at the time, designed by Jorg Hyzek , who also designed the Vacheron Constantin 222 and Breguet Marine . It has a quartz movement and a list price of about 200,000 yen at the time. This may seem a little cheap for a GM of a major league baseball team, but considering that the Athletics are a cash-strapped GM, a watch like this would be perfect.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019)

1969. The "Sharon Tate Murder Case" is the story of the popular actress Sharon Tate, who was brutally murdered by the cult leader Charles Manson's family. Set against the backdrop of this true story, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is a nostalgic film that depicts the bond between a fading Hollywood star (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stuntman (Brad Pitt), and is an explosion of Quentin Tarantino 's love of film.

Brad Pitt's performance as the silent, wild stuntman Cliff Booth won him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, his first Oscar.

In this movie, Brad Pitt wears a Citizen 8110. This is a bullhead model, commonly known as the "Horn Chrono," with a crown and chronograph pusher on the 12 o'clock side.

The watch was originally a bracelet, but it has been replaced with a leather strap with a strong military feel, perhaps reflecting the fact that he is a Vietnam War veteran. This arrangement, which uses a strap from Los Angeles leather brand Red Monkey , creates the image of a "wild and dangerous man" who would challenge Bruce Lee to a fight or go alone to a dangerous cult religious community.

Only Watch Auction

ONLY WATCH AUCTION (2015)

Finally, one non-movie topic.
The Only Watch Auction has been held every two years since 2005 with the aim of raising funds for research into the treatment of the incurable disease muscular dystrophy. It is a charity auction in which approximately 50 watch brands offer one-of-a-kind watches, with the proceeds from the sale being used to support research into muscular dystrophy.

The "Ref. 5016A-010" offered by Patek Philippe at the same auction in 2015 was a one-of-a-kind stainless steel model with a grand complication that includes multiple complicated mechanisms such as a tourbillon, minute repeater, moon phase, and perpetual calendar. The bidding for this watch was extremely heated, and it was eventually sold for the high price of 7,300,000 Swiss francs (more than 900 million yen in Japanese yen) , and the winning bidder was none other than Brad Pitt .

Brad Pitt , a "PP enthusiast," has often been seen wearing Patek Philippe watches in interviews and private shots, but the fact that he would bid on a Patek worth 900 million yen really shows how impressive a Hollywood star can be.

summary

What did you think?
While many actors change to more sophisticated watches as they get older, Brad Pitt has shown wilder choices than when he was younger, such as the custom strap "Horn Chrono." If you want to express the wildness , masculinity , and sexiness of your age with a watch, his way of choosing watches can be a great reference.
