The famous American actor Tom Cruise was spotted at the tennis finals of the Wimbledon tournament in 2024. The 60-year-old was seen wearing an impressive Rolex watch on his wrist. According to experts, it is one of the finest models from this Swiss luxury brand. Read all the details about this stunningly beautiful watch in the article!
Which model is it?
As usual, Tom Cruise did not miss the men’s and women’s finals of the Wimbledon tournament. He was seen applauding as the Princess of Wales entered the stands during the men’s final on July 14, 2024. It was during a match that pitted two of the discipline’s big names against each other, namely Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
After hours of fighting spirit, it was finally the young Spanish player, just 21 years old, who won the trophy. Carlos Alcaraz, the lucky winner, was also seen wearing his favorite watch on this occasion. It is his fabulous gold watch from the brand Daytona. Of course, Tom Cruise, also a fan of fine watches, was doing the same on his side.
Based on the observations made by fans of fine watchmaking, the model worn by the American actor at Wimbledon would indeed be a Rolex Day-Date 40 mm. This is confirmed, among other things, by the beautiful white frame and the fluted bezel observed on the accessory.
In addition, this version is further distinguished by the Roman numerals indicating the hours. The date window at 3 o’clock and the day of the week at 12 o’clock are also in Roman numerals. These are two of the main criteria that led its designers to name it “Day-Date”.
Rolex Day-Date: a watch worth 44,500 euros
As a reminder, the Rolex Day-Date was first marketed by the legendary watch brand in 1956. Fans are hoping for a 50th anniversary edition of the model in 2026. It is a concept that is easily distinguished by its luxury and high-end appearance. In the meantime, enthusiasts can marvel at the model worn by Tom Cruise, reference 228239.
According to experts, this very specific category of watch works thanks to the mechanical winding or perpetual mechanical movement system called Caliber 3255. Its power reserve, for its part, reaches 70 hours. It is one of the most luxurious watches on the market, with a price tag of 44,500 euros.
This price is explained, among other things, by its 40 mm case and its President strap, with three rounded links, all made of white gold. The only point that puzzles the public is whether the watch worn by the actor is indeed made of white gold. It should be remembered that the Day-Date also has versions made of white gold. However, their price is quite expensive like a lot of Rolex models on some resale sites fluctuates between 44,000 and 44,500 euros.
It is important to note that the watch reference is the same regardless of the material used in its manufacture. This in no way detracts from its splendor. In addition, for information purposes, it should be noted that the cost of this watch is approximately three times that of the watch worn by Roger Federer. He also sported his Rolex at the tournament.
