What watch is Tom Cruise wearing in the movie "Top Gun: Maverick"?

Celebrity Watch Hunting is a series of columns that captures private moments of celebrities from around the world. This time, we'll be focusing on the two watches worn by Tom Cruise, star of the movie "Top Gun: Maverick," which has finally been released after repeated delays! One is a Cartier watch, and the other is a Vacheron Constantin watch!

　The film industry has also been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Top Gun: Maverick, originally scheduled for release in November 2021 (but originally scheduled for July), was finally released in Japan on May 27, 2022, with lead actor Tom Cruise visiting Japan ahead of the release.

　Born in 1962, he is now 59 years old. Tom Cruise is still talked about for his unwavering coolness, but what model watch did he wear at the series of events?

Cartier worn at a festival in Mexico

　The watch worn by Tom Cruise at a promotional event held at the Ritz-Carlton in Mexico on May 6, 2022, was the Cartier Calibre de Cartier Chronograph, which is no longer on sale.

　Tom Cruise's casual all-black outfit, coordinated with a large watch, is a casual look that anyone can easily emulate.

　The index at 12 o'clock is a distinctive feature. Cartier's first men's-only collection, the Calibre, was launched in 2010. While men's models such as the Roadster and Santos already existed, this was Cartier's first "exclusive" collection. The crown guard exudes a tough, masculine look, making this a watch that stands out from other Cartier models, which tend to be more elegant.

Vacheron Constantin worn on the red carpet in Cannes

　On the red carpet in Cannes, Tom Cruise wore a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Extra-Thin Perpetual Calendar. It is believed to be the 2021 white gold model with a perpetual calendar. He coordinated the white gold with a navy smoking jacket, and appeared alongside his co-stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, and Glen Powell.

　It's also concerning that there are stains of makeup from a woman on his jacket, probably because he received a strong hug from someone (although I suppose it's understandable, since anyone would want to jump on him).

Also pay attention to the items that appear in the new movie "Top Gun Maverick"

　The flight jacket worn in the 1986 film "Top Gun," the IWC pilot watch worn at the pilot training department of the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (commonly known as "Top Gun"), and the "Porsche Design by Orfina 7176S" worn by Tom Cruise in the film attracted a lot of attention.

　One of the joys of watching the film is wondering what items will appear in the new movie. An interview with Maverick and a preview video were posted on Tom Cruise's Instagram above, and some people may be excited by the tough pilot's watch worn by Monica Barbaro, who plays Phoenix, which appears at around 2 minutes 24 seconds.

　This work is likely to spark a surge in the popularity of pilot watches.
