    The Watches Worn By the World’s Most Famous Men

    From George Clooney to Brad Pitt, we’ve rounded up the timepieces worn by some of the most popular stars.

    While stylists may dress celebrities in fad trends for internet virality, the man’s choice of watch alludes to their long-term tastes. A sportier, more endurant style may suggest a penchant for thrill-seeking pastimes, while refined vintage designs can suggest an interest in horological history.

    A lot can be said about a man’s watch, and so, Elite Traveler has researched what some of the planet’s most popular stars are wearing. Maybe it’ll inspire you to add to your own collection, too.

    George Clooney

    As a longstanding ambassador for Omega, George Clooney has had a rotation of timepieces from the Swiss watchmaker over the years. There was the Speedmaster Moonwatch in 18k gold, an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M (a luxurious take on a dive watch), and the ever classic Seamaster Aqua Terra.

    Still, the Omega De Ville Hour Vision is one particular watch he always returns to, donning it on red carpets, press junkets, and even for his role in Up In The Air. He wears the 2007 41mm time and date chronometer, easily identifiable by its striking grooved rhodium-plated hour track on its dial.

    Brad Pitt

    Brad Pitt is a watch enthusiast, with a collection that boasts vintage timepieces like the Vacheron Constantin 222 and the Patek Philippe 3800/1J. But he can thank David Fincher’s 2025 motor racing hit F1 for the inception of one of his favourites: the limited edition IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40.

    With IWC sponsoring the film, Pitt and Fincher had the opportunity to work with the watchmakers on creating a style for the actor’s character, Sonny Hayes. They partnered with New York-based modifer Cloister Watches (a brand that Finch has worked with for his own collection) to customize it according to Pitt’s desires. While those mods were in keeping with Hayes’ storyline, Pitt was spotted wearing it at the Hungarian Grand Prix nearly a year before the film’s release.

    Tom Cruise

    Whether the Top Gun actor is dressing for the red carpet or off-duty escapades, he’s known for wearing understated ensembles. But when it comes to his watch collection, it’s quite the opposite. Cruise has a large collection of timepieces that he picks for particular occasions. For example, he whipped out a Cartier Santos for the Top Gun: Maverick premiere in Seoul because of its historical ties with aviation.

    Still, for moments when he’s not strutting the red carpet, there will often be a Rolex on Cruise’s wrist. He’s worn the Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 while dining at The Dorchester in London, and a platinum dial Rolex Day-Date 40 at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Whilst filming Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, he was spotted in Teesside airport wearing a Rolex Daytona ‘Panda’, cementing him as a serious watch collector.

    Leonardo DiCaprio

    As you’ll often see Leonardo DiCaprio in nothing more elaborate than a baseball cap and plain t-shirt, the Oscar-winning actor embellishes his outfits with his watches.

    Off-screen, DiCaprio has worn a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Racing” from the early 2000s, as well as a rare Patek Philippe Nautilus made in collaboration with Tiffany courtside at LA Lakers games. While on the red carpet, he’s whipped out a 70th anniversary edition of a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Septantième.

    As well as being an ambassador for TAG Heuer, he wore their 1000 Professional style on a gold-played jubilee bracelet and an 18k gold TAG Heuer 2000 WN5141 during The Wolf of Wall Street. In Don’t Look Up, he wore a less flashy timepiece: a Cartier Tank.

    Daniel Craig

    Fans of James Bond will likely have spotted the Omega timepieces that the British actor wore throughout his tenure, and as his ambassadorship extends to his life outside of espionage, his collection is filled with them.

    Firstly, there’s the Speedmasters. He wore a 40mm red-gold style to Loewe’s spring/summer 2025 show, a Moonwatch to the Tudum premiere, and even the brand’s notoriously successful collaboration with Swatch – specifically the MoonSwatch Mission to Neptune – to the 2023 National Board of Review Gala. In the James Bond films, Craig has worn the Planet Ocean, Diver 300m, Seamaster Professional, and the Aqua Terra.

    But over the years, Craig has been spotted with a few Rolexes on his wrist, including a Rolex GMT-Master ‘Pepsi’. The blue and red bezel is what inspired collectors to identify it as the ‘Pepsi’, which was produced between 1959 and 1980, and was the predecessor to the GMT-Master II. 

    Barack Obama

    You could characterize the former US president’s watch collection in the same way as his influence: timeless, but impactful. During and after his time in the White House, Obama has worn a mix of watches that show he has taste without being ostentatious. In the last few years, he’s been wearing a 39mm Rolex Cellini with a white-gold frame, white dial with contrasting indices and knurled edge bezel – a fuss-free watch that exudes elegance and class.

    But arguably his most special would be the timepiece he received on his 46th birthday from the Secret Service agents tasked with protecting him. The Jorg Gray chronograph is only available from the Secret Service employee’s store, and was made with a Japanese Miyota Caliber OS-20 movement protected by a stainless steel case. Obama’s endorsement made it a bestseller, helped by its humble $210 price tag.

  • Why 2026 Is Already the Year of the Tie

    Why 2026 Is Already the Year of the Tie

    The small but mighty fashion accessory is already reigning supreme. 

    men ties

    ‘Tis the season where you’re likely prioritizing a scarf over any other neck accessory, and yet, there’s been another sartorial adornment that’s been making a bigger impact in the world of style. Despite the year barely starting, the humble tie is already making a statement.

    First, there was the release of Josh Safdie’s ping-pong epic Marty Supreme. Released on Christmas Day, the film has hardly stayed out of the headlines for its divisive plot and marketing tactics. But what seems to have interested many of its younger viewers is Timothée Chalamet’s costumes. While the twenty-something office worker is more often dressed as if it were a casual Friday than not, the pressed shirts, baggy double-breasted tailoring, and printed ties are unexpectedly inspiring.

    Esquire has called it “one of the greatest menswear movies of our age”, while GQ described it as having a “mega menswear streak”. And these looks can’t be escaped on the little, pocket-friendly screen either, as social media reels have amassed fans trying to recreate the look.

    News about the return of tailoring, and the tie in particular, has been mounting for some time. Ever since lockdowns were permanently lifted, the pendulum has swung towards more formal menswear with plenty of momentum behind it.

    Last Sunday, celebrities assembled in Santa Monica to kick off awards season with the Critics Choice Awards. Yes, there were a lot of suits – that’s to be expected. But going against the red-carpet dress codes from the past few years, really stylish actors like Jacob Elordi, Adam Brody, Michael B. Jordan, and the aforementioned Wonka star, all attended with their top button fastened and a tie around their necks. Just as we were getting used to the contemporary red-carpet tailoring that’s been around since the start of this decade – suits worn shirtless, or styled with a more casual shoe – traditional notions of how to wear a suit have returned.

    That is not to say that you have to have conservative ideas to embrace this accessory. Quite the opposite if we look at Zohran Mamdani. The 34-year-old New York City mayor is only ever seen in a Suitsupply suit (that costs less than $500) and tie. When asked how he’d describe his style by Interview magazine, he answered: “What are the options? I’m kind of just thinking in casual, business casual, and formal. Formal? I don’t know.”

    Mamdani is New York’s first Muslim and South Asian-American mayor, and the city’s youngest in the last century. He’s also likely the first to have worn a tie by New Delhi-based brand Kartik Research during his mayoral inauguration. At a time when all eyes are on him, wearing garbs that literally tie him (excuse the pun) to his heritage shouldn’t go unnoticed. Clearly in this instance, he believes his clothes have meaning. 

    Historically, a suit and tie has been a symbol of authority, formality, and professionalism, and instead of revolting against the idea a politician has to be dressed in a particular way, he’s embraced it. 

    In 2026, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist isn’t dressing as a reaction to the garments worn by their conservative counterparts, but in tandem with them. Subtle sartorial clues show their differences, but ultimately, those leaning to the left can also wear a suit and tie without it conflicting with their ideology. What a suit and tie represents is changing.

    So, who will be the next unexpected person to be endorsing the traditional tie? As temperatures eventually start to rise, and wooly mufflers become less necessary, there will be plenty more public figures donning the accessory. More Windsor knots and pointed blades will appear in your everyday life, too.
