Russell Crowe’s Watch Collection<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

|<\/span>
\nActor Russell Crowe is not top-of-mind when it comes to celebrity watch collectors. It became a pleasant surprise to many when he auctioned off half of his watches in 2018. “In\u00a0the spirit of moving forward”,\u00a0he mounted an auction as his\u00a0divorce from actress Danielle Spencer\u00a0was finalized.<\/p>\n

Cheekily named “The Art of Divorce”, the auction featured movie memorabilia, artwork from Australian artists, and 29 of his watches. Finally, the public saw his impressive\u00a0collection of classics from Rolex, Omega, Cartier,\u00a0Breitling and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Russell’s Daytona was a ref 16528, which he bought to celebrate the founding of his Blackcourt company in Australia. It has the company’s name and founding date engraved on its caseback.<\/p>\n

This particular model is from the 1990s, so it runs on the Zenith El Primero-based movement. The 40mm chronograph is made almost entirely of 18k yellow gold, from its Oyster case to its Oyster bracelet.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Panerai Luminor Submersible<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

One way that Russell catalogues his watches is to associate it with his films. This one was purchased during the filming of Proof of Life<\/em> (2000), and is one of two Panerai watches he purchased during that period.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Panerai Luminor Submersible is a large 47mm watch with a titanium case and stainless steel professional diver’s bezel. Luminous hour markers and Arabic numerals ensure maximum legibility in low-light situations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
