Chris Hemsworth Watch Collection: Every Watch Verified

Chris Hemsworth's watch collection tells a story in two acts. From 2015 he was a TAG Heuer ambassador, and for years the only watches on his wrist carried that badge. Then the contract ended around 2020, and the Australian actor started dressing his wrist the way he actually wanted to. What followed was a run of serious pieces: a diamond-set platinum Rolex Day-Date, a full ceramic Audemars Piguet skeleton and one of the thinnest gold watches Bulgari has ever made.

I find his collection more interesting than most Hollywood rotations because it is small and deliberate. There is no suitcase of fifty near-identical Daytonas here. Each piece he has been photographed in covers a different corner of watchmaking, from a survival tool Casio in Extraction to haute horlogerie skeletons at premieres. Below is every watch we have verified on his wrist, with the references, movements and where each one was spotted.

Chris Hemsworth Watch Collection at a Glance

Chris Hemsworth's Rolex Day-Date 40 Platinum with Ice-Blue Dial

The standout of the entire collection. At the Sydney premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder in June 2022, Hemsworth wore a 40mm platinum Rolex Day-Date with the ice-blue dial that Rolex reserves exclusively for its platinum watches, finished with a diamond-set bezel. He matched the pale blue dial to his shirt, which is the kind of styling decision that gets a watch photographed from every angle.

Inside sits the Calibre 3255, the movement Rolex introduced for the Day-Date 40 in 2015. It runs a 70-hour power reserve and holds Superlative Chronometer certification at minus two to plus two seconds per day. Press coverage at the time noted the stones on his bezel appeared round-cut rather than the trapezoid baguettes Rolex fits to its factory gem-set platinum references, so the exact configuration remains a talking point among collectors. Either way, a diamond-set platinum Day-Date sits at the very top of the President range, and prices vary considerably depending on the setting.

The closest thing to Hemsworth's premiere watch that you can put on your wrist this week is our platinum Day-Date 40 with the same ice-blue dial, and our in-house workshop can diamond-set the bezel to complete the look.

Chris Hemsworth's Rolex Submariner in Yellow Gold

Hemsworth's second Rolex is the full yellow gold Submariner Date reference 126618LN. It pairs an 18ct yellow gold 41mm case and Oyster bracelet with a black dial and black Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, with the Cyclops lens over the date at 3 o'clock. Rolex introduced this reference in 2020 alongside the rest of the 41mm Submariner generation, powered by the Calibre 3235 with its 70-hour power reserve and 300 metres of water resistance.

A gold Submariner is a very different statement from a steel one. It keeps the tool watch architecture, the dive bezel and the lume plots, then renders the whole thing in precious metal. On a man built like Hemsworth the 41mm case wears smaller than it does on most of us, which is probably why he can pull off gold sports watches without them dominating the frame. Collectors who want the look with more restraint often go for the two-tone route, and our Submariner Date 126613LN in steel and yellow gold delivers exactly that on the same black dial.

The full gold 126618LN moves quickly whenever one surfaces, so this is a watch our sourcing desk locates to order.

Chris Hemsworth's Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26331OR

At the New York premiere of his National Geographic series Limitless in November 2022, Hemsworth wore the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph reference 26331OR in 18ct pink gold. This is the 41mm chronograph generation AP introduced in 2017 to mark twenty years of the Royal Oak Chronograph, and his example carried the blue Grande Tapisserie dial with contrasting pink gold counters, a reverse panda layout that photographs brilliantly under premiere lighting.

The 26331OR runs the Calibre 2385, a self-winding column-wheel chronograph with a 40-hour power reserve beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, in a case just 11mm thick. The date sits discreetly between 4 and 5 o'clock to preserve the symmetry of the three registers. It was an interesting choice for a documentary about longevity, a pink gold chronograph on a man testing how long a body can last.

The blue dial pink gold configuration is one of the most requested Royal Oak chronographs we deal in, and it rarely sits on the open market for long. Our sourcing team tracks these across our trusted network.

Chris Hemsworth's Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26420RO

The second Audemars Piguet in the collection is the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph reference 26420RO, spotted on his wrist at a dinner event. This is the current 43mm Offshore generation, an 18ct pink gold case with a black ceramic bezel and black Mega Tapisserie dial on an interchangeable rubber strap. It is the first Offshore chronograph family powered by AP's in-house Calibre 4401, a flyback chronograph with column wheel, vertical clutch and a 70-hour power reserve, water resistant to 100 metres.

Where the 26331OR is the dress chronograph, the 26420RO is the gym-built sibling, and it suits Hemsworth's frame better than almost any other celebrity we cover. The 43mm case that overwhelms most wrists looks proportionate on his. The gold and black ceramic pairing also became one of AP's signature combinations of the 2020s, so it says something that he picked the reference the brand itself pushes hardest.

The Rarest Watch He Owns: Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked in Black Ceramic

Quite possibly the most exclusive piece in the Chris Hemsworth watch collection is the Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked reference 15416CE in full black ceramic, spotted on a night out. AP introduced this 41mm reference in 2020 as the first Double Balance Wheel Openworked with both case and bracelet in ceramic, and it launched as a boutique exclusive, which is why so few ever reach the open market.

The openworked slate grey dial exposes the Calibre 3132 from both sides, a self-winding movement with AP's patented double balance wheel: two balance wheels and two hairsprings mounted on the same axis to average out positional errors. It runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 45-hour power reserve, and the pink gold hour markers and hands lift the whole slate and black architecture. Ceramic Royal Oaks of any kind trade well above their launch pricing, and this reference sits among the hardest modern Royal Oaks to obtain.

Chris Hemsworth's Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton in Rose Gold

At the 2022 premiere of Interceptor, the film starring his wife Elsa Pataky, Hemsworth wore the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton in sandblasted rose gold, reference 102946. Introduced at Baselworld 2018, it is one of the great modern exercises in thinness: the hand-wound Calibre BVL 128SK measures just 2.35mm tall, keeping the entire 40mm rose gold case to 5.37mm thick, with a 65-hour power reserve, small seconds and a power reserve indicator laid bare across the openworked movement.

This was the watch that convinced me his collecting had matured beyond sponsor pieces and safe picks. An ultra-thin skeleton from Bulgari's Octo line is a connoisseur's choice, the sort of watch other collectors clock across a dinner table while everyone else misses it entirely. The sandblasted finish mutes the gold to a soft matte glow, so it whispers where his Royal Oaks shout.

Chris Hemsworth's TAG Heuer Carrera and the Ambassador Years

Before the Rolex and AP era, there was TAG Heuer. Hemsworth joined the brand's ambassador roster in 2015, drawn by his love of motor racing, and remained until around 2020. The most documented piece from that chapter is the Carrera Chronograph reference CBN2012.FC6483, released in 2020 as part of TAG Heuer's 160th anniversary celebrations and worn by Hemsworth on screen in the 2022 Netflix film Spiderhead.

It is a handsome, classical chronograph: 42mm steel case, anthracite sunray-brushed dial with three registers, brown leather strap and the in-house Calibre Heuer 02 with its 80-hour power reserve. In Spiderhead he plays a tech billionaire running a prison pharmaceutical programme, and the watch does a lot of quiet costume work, expensive but not flashy, precise but not cold. Of everything in this article it is also the most attainable route into his collection by some distance.

The Watch Chris Hemsworth Wears in Extraction

Ask what watch Chris Hemsworth wears in Extraction and the answer is a Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400-3 in green, clearly visible in scene after scene of the 2020 Netflix film. As mercenary Tyler Rake he needed a watch that survives what the character survives, and the Rangeman is Casio's Master of G survival model: Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 radio timekeeping, and the Triple Sensor giving altimeter, barometer, compass and thermometer readings in a mud and shock resistant case.

It retails for a few hundred pounds and it is exactly the right watch for the job, which is the point. Costume departments choose watches to tell you who a character is before he speaks, and the gap between Rake's battered Rangeman and Hemsworth's own platinum Day-Date is the gap between the role and the man playing him.

What the Chris Hemsworth Watch Collection Tells Us

Read chronologically, the collection maps a collector finding his own taste. The TAG Heuer years gave him solid chronographs chosen for him by a contract. Once free of it, he went straight for the pieces collectors actually chase: precious metal Royal Oaks, a boutique-only ceramic skeleton, platinum Rolex with diamonds, ultra-thin Bulgari. There is not one steel sports watch bought for hype in the lot.

The pattern I notice is materials first. Almost everything post-2020 is pink gold, platinum or ceramic, and almost everything is either skeletonised or gem-set. That places him closer to the Middle Eastern collecting sensibility we see daily in our Dubai showroom than to the steel-Daytona conservatism of most Hollywood wrists. His fellow Marvel lead has gone the opposite way into obscure independents, as we covered in the Robert Downey Jr watch collection, which makes the contrast between the two all the more interesting.

If a piece in this collection has caught your eye, our sourcing desk locates specific references through our watch sourcing service, and for anything gem-set, from a diamond bezel on a Day-Date to a fully iced Royal Oak, our in-house team builds it in our bespoke watches workshop.

His diamond-set platinum Day-Date also commands a strong six-figure sum depending on the setting.

Yes, two have been verified: the platinum Day-Date 40 with ice-blue dial worn at the Sydney premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder in June 2022, and the yellow gold Rolex Submariner Date 126618LN with black dial and Cerachrom bezel.
