Think you have what it takes to be an action hero? You better start by being on time.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves and Sylvester Stallone always arrive to save the day in the nick of time. And what do they have in common? Besides being ruggedly handsome … they’ve also got a great timepiece.
You can channel your own inner hero by picking up similar watch these action stars wore on the big screen and in real life. From rugged Casios to dressier options, these timepieces below have all been worn by the best … and will totally have you looking the part of the protagonist.
Sylvester Stallone’s Watch in Rambo
Don’t mess with Rambo … or the indestructible watch he wore in the franchise’s inaugural offering, First Blood.
It’s been over four decades since Sylvester Stallone stepped into the role on the big screen, but Rambo’s Chronosport UDT is making a comeback with the Momentum UDT Eclipse.
The vintage-inspired ana-digi watch has a host of military-grade specs like the OG, which was used by special forces like the Navy SEALs. With solar-charging capabilities, a virtually scratch-proof surface and a 200-meter water resistance, it’s designed to survive anything you throw at it.
The “Other Moon Watch”
There’s plenty of on-screen action stars … but this Bulova Lunar Pilot was worn by a real-life intergalactic hero. When Apollo 15 mission Commander David Scott landed on the moon in 1971, it was his personal wristwatch that ended up saving the day.
While exploring the lunar surface, his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster malfunctioned and he needed a chronograph to keep track of his timing on the moon. That’s when he pulled out his Bulova Chronograph Model #88510/01 … becoming known as the second watch worn on the moon and paving the way for its public release years later, the Bulova Lunar Pilot.
Bill Gates’ Personal Favorite Watch
Okay so Bill Gates may not be an actual action hero but honestly, maybe he should be. After all, where would we be without all of those technological advancements he helped bring to the world? Probably not on this website, TBH.
And what kind of watch does one of the world’s richest men wear? The incredibly inexpensive Casio Duro Marlin MDV-106, of course.
After popularizing the affordable timepiece, which retails for less than $100, the brand gave it an upgrade in the form of the Casio Duro MDV-107. Now you can look like a billionaire … without having to have all that cash in the bank.
James Bond-Inspired Casio Royale Watch
When you have to save the world with class and just in the nick of time, be sure to wear this Casio Royale, inspired by the watch seen in “Octopussy,” with a nickname playing tribute to “Casino Royale.”
Just like any 007 gadget from Q, this one comes with plenty of features — including a stainless steel back, a minute clock display, a real time display with the day of the week and date, and a world map display. You will know exactly where you are as you jump between all of the globe’s fanciest nations on your own high-stakes adventures.
The Seiko “Arnie”
It’s time to GET TO THE CHOPPER with this Seiko Hybrid Dive Watch featured in “Predator” on the wrist of Dutch … played, of course, by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Whether you’re trekking the jungles of Central America to slay an extra-terrestrial predator … or just trekking the jungles of Central America for vacation, this piece is the modern version of the classic 1982 Hybrid Diver’s Watch.
It has the styling and functionality of the original, but with some updated technology to improve it even further … kind of like the Predator!
Noah Wyle’s Watch on The Pitt
Noah Wyle’s Dr. Michael Robinavitch sent the internet swooning … but it wasn’t just his soulful and rugged portrayal of a traumatized physician on the Emmy Award-winning “The Pitt” — his manly wristwatch was also the talk of Reddit.
Now you too can sport his rugged Seiko SRPG35 … even if you’re not saving lives in an ER all day.
This field watch has an automatic movement with a matte, stainless steel 41mm case, black dial, Arabic numerals, a day-date window at 3 o’clock, and a nylon NATO strap. Now that’s what we call a modern day classic for your wrist!
Keanu Reeves’ Watch in Speed
You better run 50 mph to your computer to get the Casio G-Shock — also known as the one Keanu Reeves rocked in “Speed.”
It’s a black resin sport watch featuring shock resistance, a comfortable strap, rectangular dial, featured with a multi-function alarm, 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, hourly time signal, auto calendar, and a 12 and 24-hour format … all useful for fighting a devious terrorist plotting a high-speed dilemma.
Men in Black Watch
Here come the Men In Black … watches. Its design is so slick, so out-of-this-world awesome, that some might confuse it for an extra-terrestrial gadget on your wrist when you’re out in public.
This watch is made with a stainless steel case, an open case back, a black rubber strap, and is water resistant. Just to be clear, the scum of the universe would not be wearing this bad boy.
