Drew Barrymore

　Drew Barrymore has been loved for her cheerful and innocent character ever since her debut in 1982 at the age of seven in the film "ET," where she played the lead character's younger sister, Gertie. As a teenager, she experienced a turbulent life, including being admitted to a rehabilitation facility for alcohol and drug addiction, but now that she has overcome that, her natural and unpretentious appearance is once again making her popular. She is currently active not only as an actress, but also as a producer and businesswoman.

　The photo we found this time was taken in 2013, when Drew was promoting her cosmetics brand, Flower Beauty. Her mannish outfit complements her cool look and suits her well. Take a look at the watch she's wearing on her wrist. It's a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date.

Rolex "Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date"

　The Rolex Submariner, a diver's watch, debuted in 1953. The date model was introduced in 65. Both the non-date and date versions have maintained a timeless design while undergoing repeated refinements. One of the major milestones was in 2008, when the bezel began to be replaced with a ceramic Cerachrom. Compared to aluminum bezels, the Cerachrom bezel is more scratch-resistant and fade-resistant. It wasn't until 10 that it was adopted for stainless steel models. Drew's watch may be a Ref. 116610LN from this period. It has a 40mm case. Its movement is the 3100 series caliber, featuring a Parachrom hairspring made from a proprietary alloy that offers excellent magnetic resistance and temperature stability.

　Speaking of the Submariner, the September 1, 2020 announcement of the new model finally drew attention with the transition from the 3100 series to the 3200 series caliber. The Submariner Date has been upgraded to the caliber 3235, while the non-date Submariner is equipped with the newly developed caliber 3230. Key features of the 3200 series include the adoption of the Chronergy escapement, which is 15% more efficient than the Swiss lever escapement, and an extended power reserve thanks to improvements to the barrel. Accordingly, the case size of both the date and non-date models has increased slightly from 40mm in diameter to 41mm.

　Drew's watch collection has also been confirmed to include a Cartier Tank, a Chanel Boyfriend, and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust 31. Of all the watches, the Submariner is the largest. He chose a masculine look for a photo shoot promoting his own cosmetics brand, perhaps to convey a message to viewers.

"Unisex" and "mid-size" watches are becoming more and more popular in the watch industry.

　For some time, many watch brands have produced "unisex" or "mid-size" watches with diameters between 35mm and 38mm. However, with the diversification of values ​​in recent years, it seems that this genderless trend is gaining momentum even in the watch industry. As long as it fits comfortably, anyone can enjoy any watch.
