Ryan Gosling’s Watches: Old School Cool

Ryan Gosling makes well-thought-out choices in his movie career and he seems to have the same discriminating judgment when it comes to timepieces. Mysterious, glamorous, and sometimes out of reach, Gosling’s watches reflect the kind of celebrity that he is.

Here are the watches that Ryan Gosling has worn on the big screen, and in real life.

Omega Speedmaster 105.003 as seen on First Man

Gosling’s latest film First Man (2018) is a look at the life of Neil Armstrong and the legendary space mission Apollo 11, which led him to become the first man to set foot on the moon. The cast wore period-correct Omega watches in the film, so Gosling sported an Omega Speedmaster 105.003 while Armstrong undergoes training at NASA.

Of course the film won’t be complete without the actual model that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin famously wore while on Apollo 11 – the Omega Speedmaster 105.012. The watch has since been famously dubbed the MoonWatch. Some of the pieces that the cast wore in the film were actual models from the Omega archives.

In the 2016 romantic musical drama La La Land, Gosling’s wardrobe had a distinct nod towards the ’40s and ’50s. He wears a simple gold watch throughout the film – a 1950s Omega.

Rolex Air King Vintage reference 5500

In real life, Gosling is also a big fan of vintage watches. His go to watch is a stainless steel, late 1950s Rolex Air King. There’s no shortage of photos with Gosling wearing this watch, as he wears it almost every day, and even to formal events like The Oscars and Golden Globes. In a sea of brand ambassadors, this watch really sets him apart.

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Memovox

The actor has also been spotted wearing a vintage Jaeger LeCoultre Master Memovox, the original automatic alarm watch. The perfectly round case, clean dial, and mechanical alarm are right up Gosling’s alley. We can see in his collection that he is really inclined towards minimalism and old school touches. The model pictured here is a contemporary Memovox from 2014.
