Tom Cruise Watch Collection Shows He Has Good Taste

Tom Cruise is an American actor well-known for his roles in movies from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s as well as his famous relationship with Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes. 

He became interested in acting while still in high school, and his breakout performances in Risky Business and Top Gun catapulted him to stardom. Later, Cruise received praise for his performance in the critically acclaimed movie Jerry Maguire and the Mission: Impossible series. Now, he has become one of the highest-paid movie stars.

Tom Cruise is not only a very successful actor and producer but also a watch collector and connoisseur, which is a noteworthy addition to his list of accomplishments.

Let's find out some luxury timepieces in Tom Cruise watch collection.

In the recent movie Top Gun: Maverick, Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise, was spotted wearing the new Porsche Design Chronograph 1 inspired by the all-black 1972 watch. The Porsche Design Chronograph 1 was the first watch with a black PVD coating, originally launched in 1972. Its retail price is $7,700.

In the same movie, actress Jennifer Connelly, who plays Penny Benjamin as the love interest of Captain Maverick, was spotted wearing a Rolex Explorer 1 ref.1016. The market price is around $21,000. 

When promoting his new movie 'Top Gun: Maverick' in South Korea, he was spotted wearing his boldly masculine Cartier Chronograph watch in stainless steel. With that familiar oversized XII Roman numeral stamping Cartier's instantly recognizable style on the dial, the design captures the sporty elegance of the Calibre de Cartier line, with subtly placed sub-dials at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, and a similarly restrained calendar aperture at 6 o'clock.  

The hourly and minute markers are formed like enormous swords and are made of black oxidized steel with a luminous coating. The chronograph counter indicators and the middle second hand are dark, without lume.

Market price: ~$8,000.

Still promoting his new movie in South Korea in June 2022, Cruise was spotted wearing his other Cartier watch, the classic Santos in stainless steel. The watch matches the occasion of promoting a movie about aviation. The Santos was one of the world’s first wristwatches, invented at the behest of the pilot Alberto Santos Dumont.

Although I would personally like the more conventional medium size, Tom was seen wearing the large model. However, it has the benefit of a date complication, and every watch he has been seen wearing has some variation of this complication. He can switch between the bracelet and the supplied leather strap whenever he wants thanks to the Santos de Cartier's adjustable strap system, which is a noteworthy benefit over his Datejust.

So, one Cartier seems not to be enough for him😆

Retail price is $8,200.

The highest-paid movie star also owns a Jacob and Co. timepiece. As we can see in the picture, he wears a limited 47mm Jacob and Co. Epic II Chronograph in stainless steel with a chronograph dial that features a shock-resistant quartz movement.

The black and silver dial has 6 multi-tiered layers that are made from carbon and is furthermore signed with the classic Jacob & Co signature.

Market price is around $12,000.

In September 2022, Cruise was seen d wearing one of the most sought-after Rolex watches, the Daytona ‘Panda’ 116500LN in stainless steel with a white dial. This version has been introduced in 2016, and it features a black cerachrom bezel with a white tachymetric scale.

Retail price: $14,300.

When in London in July 2022, he was spotted wearing a 42 mm Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 in oystersteel and white gold featuring a bright black dial on an oyster bracelet.

The characteristics of the Sky-Dweller are the second time zone display on an off-center disc on the dial and its setting system, which uses the rotatable ring command bezel. This is a unique function for a Rolex.

While the GMT-Master was designed for pilots, Rolex’s Sky-Dweller was created for global travelers. Rolex had the remarkable chance to develop the Sky-Dweller beyond consideration for historical background or legacy design linkages. As a result, it produced something wholly fresh and distinctive for the company. 

The Sky-fluted Dweller’s bezel, often called the “Ring Command” bezel, enables the user to choose whichever feature to set up. By turning the winding crown, the user can adjust the month and date, referencing time and local time according to where the bezel is located.  

Market price is around $25,000.

He was spotted wearing the white gold Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin with a blue dial while at the 75th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals. 

This caliber joins the complexity of a perpetual calendar with the elegance of ultra-slim design. At just 4.05 millimeters thick, this exceptional movement is one of the thinnest on the market.

Market price is ~$102,000.

During his night out with Jeff Bezos in July 2022, he was spotted wearing a Rolex GMT-Master II 'Pepsi' 126719BLRO in white gold with a blue dial. 

Introduced at BaselWorld 2018 the blue dial is paired with the classic two-colour cerachrom bezel insert in red and blue ceramic. The case is fitted with an oyster bracelet.

Retail price: $ 39,340.00
Market price: $ 50,000.00

In the pictures, he wears a Bremont ALT1-C. Few people are aware of the fact that Tom Cruise has owned and piloted several aircraft. Given that Bremont was founded by two former aviation designers and this is obviously reflected in their work, it makes sense that a relatively new watch company would catch an actor's eye. A dial on the ALT1-C chronometer resembles the instrumentation of vintage airplane models.

Retail price: $5,995.
