From SwissWatchExpo…
Spotlight on: Henry Cavill.
The Man of Steel’s choice timepieces.
It’s not certain whether Henry Cavill, the British superstar who played Superman for
the last five years, will return to the big screen as the Man of Steel.
Superman or not, Henry has proven himself with a nearly two-decade career and a reputation
as one of the best-dressed actors in Hollywood.
Whether he’s wearing a suit on the red carpet or sporting a rugged jeans and tee, he’s
got the dapper look down pat.
From dressy Jaeger LeCoultre, to robust Breitling, here are the watches we’ve seen on Henry
Cavill’s wrist.
Let’s start with Henry’s Omega watches – the sporty and highly functional Omega
Planet Ocean, and the dressy Omega DeVille.
Henry sports the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chrono as his daily watch.
This particular model is both a dive watch, and a chronograph, powered by the in-house
movement, caliber 9300.
A watch that works double duty, and is perfect for active guys like Henry.
For formal occasions, Henry’s watch of choice is the Omega DeVille Hour Vision watch.
Omega is certainly well-known for its sports watches but the DeVille collection is worth
looking at.
The decidedly dressier family of watches combines impressive combinations of metals and color
– giving them a striking but refined look.
The Breitling Aeromarine Super Avenger always accompanies Henry to informal events, from
meet-and-greets to press conferences.
The 48 mm, water-resistant watch comes in a powerful looking steel case and was especially
built for adventure – but Henry pulls it off even in casual settings.
As an ambassador of Jaeger LeCoultre, Henry is often seen with a watch from the brand’s
latest Polaris Collection – a line inspired by the Memovox Polaris watch from 1968.
In this photo, he is holding up the Polaris Chronograph.
The stunning timepiece is in a brushed rose gold case which perfectly complements its
alligator strap and charcoal gray dial.
It’s Henry’s current favorite.
From the same line is the Polaris Memovox watch, which has a strong vintage feel.
Like the original Memovox, it also comes with an alarm, indicated by the small triangle
on the dial.
This particular model is available in only 1,000 pieces.
Henry has also sported classic pieces in his fashion editorials.
Here, he is seen with the Cartier Tank Americaine, one of the most recent iterations of the classic
Tank.
With a slimmer and curved shape, it has a svelte profile that fits nicely on the wrist,
without being dainty.
And finally, we see Henry wearing the Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary green dial watch.
For this special piece, Rolex played up the iconic features of the Day-Date – most especially
the dial, which bears their hallmark color, dark green.
Henry Cavill’s watches run the gamut from robust and powerful, to dressy and sophisticated.
