Robert Downey Jr. unveiled his watch collection to the world in 2016 through a\u00a0GQ magazine feature<\/a><\/u>. As he said, \u201cYou can learn a lot about a man if he opens up\u00a0his jewelry box.\u201d<\/p>\n

His watch collection is as varied as the list of films and credits to his name. Despite having a very public and tumultuous personal life, he has managed to bounce back and reinvent himself after four decades \u2013 and is now one of the most respected actors in the business.<\/p>\n

He does not say much about the watches in the GQ feature, and in true Robert Downey Jr. fashion just proceeded to toss the watches on the floor. We\u2019ll fill in those parts for him so you can rock the same watches as Iron Man:<\/p>\n

The Omega Speedmaster<\/a> is best known for being the only watch to pass NASA\u2019s series of tests in the 1960\u2019s and being the first watch worn on the moon. It has since been part of all six lunar missions, and has gone through updates over the years, but it is still powered by virtually the same movement that first powered it on the moon.\u00a0Photo from Robert Downey Jr. on Instagram<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Reverso<\/a> is considered the very first sports watch. Launched in the 1930\u2019s, it was created to suit the needs of polo players for a watch that can handle the rigors of the sport. Its appeal quickly went beyond the polo grounds, with its classic, Art Deco-inspired design.\u00a0Video from Variety on YouTube<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
