From SwissWatchExpo… Spotlight On: Top Gear host and Friends star
Matt LeBlanc, and his Rolex timepieces.
Actor Matt LeBlanc is best known for his role as Joey Tribbiani in the NBC super hit Friends, one
of the most beloved comedy series of all time; and in its spin-off series, Joey.
There's a highly anticipated cast reunion coming to HBO Max later this year, so we'll
be seeing Matt and the cast together again for the first time, since the show ended in
2004.
We’re sure you’re excited, and so are we. We'll keep our eyes peeled for Matt's
Rolex watches when that reunion comes out! For now, check out his favorite Rolex timepieces.
Matt is a fan of the Rolex Hulk, or the green dial and bezel Rolex Submariner. Rolex itself
has not used the name Hulk, rather, it came from fans who named it after the Marvel superhero.
The dial's color can range from a bright sunburst green, to a deep forest green depending on
how the light hits it, while the Cerachrom ceramic bezel and Maxi Case add more presence
to the wrist.
The green is definitely a stylish breakaway from your standard dive watches. And with
green being Rolex's signature color, many Rolex fans consider the Hulk to be one of
the must-haves in their collection.
Matt has been wearing his trademark stainless steel, 40 millimeter Rolex Seadweller for
decades.
With a depth rating of 4,000 feet, the Seadweller was engineered for saturation divers and deep
sea exploration. To accomplish this feat, the Seadweller has a thicker crystal, and
an escape valve that releases helium and other gases, to keep the crystal from cracking.
Together with its technical feats, what makes the Sea-Dweller so appealing is its classic
dive watch look. It’s rugged, yet classy design is perfect for life in the sea, at
the office, or in town.

When it comes to dressier occasions, Matt likes to wear his Rolesor steel and yellow
gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona.
This sophisticated edition of the famous chronograph, adds sheen with a polished slate dial and
yellow gold subdial rings, making it a great alternative to dress watches.
The Daytona is not all about looks though - it showcases a tachymeter bezel calibrated
to 400 units, and a chronograph movement, making it a perfect timekeeping tool for racing,
and just about any adventure.
And finally, we have Matt’s Rolex Submariner Date. The stainless steel timepiece is a favorite
among celebrities, collectors and even casual watch buyers – and it’s easy to see why.
The reference 16610 (one six six one oh) has a stainless steel, 40 millimeter Oyster case,
a black dial, and the patented Oyster bracelet. It also has luminescent hands and a scratch-proof
crystal for clarity underwater.
It has everything one needs for a watch to use underwater, but it’s clearly handsome
enough to wear for any occasion.
With his carefully curated Rolex collection, Matt is an example of a watch guy who knows
what he wants.
