Will Ferrell’s Iconic Watches

Renowned for his roles in blockbuster movies and his indelible mark on the comedy world, Will Ferrell’s watch collection is as iconic as the man himself. From premier luxury to functional elegance, each watch is bound to captivate and inspire. Let’s explore the timeless taste of a true comedic legend with Will Ferrell’s iconic watches.

Zenith Chronomaster Original

During his 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Will showcased both his wits and serious horological taste by wearing a Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Original. This watch is a direct descendant of the famed A386 from 1969, one of the most significant references in the history of the El Primero caliber.

Released in 2021, the Chronomaster Original remains loyal to its predecessor by having a 38mm bezel-less body and faceted lugs. Its dial is also in white with the iconic tri-colored sub-dials in blue and varying shades of gray. Inside runs a modern version of the El Primero – the Caliber 3600 with a 60-hour power reserve.

Omega Speedmaster

Will has been having fun showing off his impressive wrist game during photocalls lately, and the recent Despicable Me 4 premiere was no exception. Dressed in a vibrant Adidas tracksuit, the funnyman energetically threw up his wrist to reveal his Omega Speedmaster 145.022.

This watch, produced from 1968 to 1988, is defined by its steel body and black face with matching triple registers. Arguably one of the most significant references in Omega’s back catalog, it also features the Caliber 861 hand-wound movement, a tritium lume, and a Hesalite crystal to protect the dial. Will swapped out the original metal bracelet for a black leather strap, adding to the feeling of a retro tool watch. Photo from GQ Magazine on Twitter

Rolex Yacht-Master

Will is undoubtedly a fan of unique luxury sports timepieces, much like the Rolex Yacht-Master ref 226659. A white gold variant of the Swiss brand’s signature nautical watch, this iteration offers practicality in one elegant package.

Launched at Baselworld 2019, the Yacht-Master ref 226659 measures 42mm wide, making it the largest Yacht-Master model. Its black face with applied indices guarantees all-day contrast, while the ceramic bezel is sandblasted to provide a more contemporary finish.

Rolex Explorer

Will also made space for another Rolex sports watch but more utilitarian in nature – the Explorer I. This timepiece flawlessly combines the best of modern technology with the classic, no-nonsense design of the past.

The veteran funnyman has the ref 214270 from 2016, which features a black dial with a longer handset and Chromalight-filled hour markers. Its body is 3mm larger than its predecessor, making it the only Explorer to feature a 39mm case, while the bracelet is equipped with solid links and an Oysterclasp. Powering the watch is the Caliber 3132, which guarantees an accuracy rating of -2/+2 seconds per day. 

Omega Seamaster 007

Will effortlessly stole the spotlight at the 2024 Golden Globes with his well-tailored Giorgio Armani ensemble, which he paired with an Omega Seamaster in titanium. The watch is stealthy and robust, similar to the one worn by James Bond in No Time to Die.

Aside from durable exteriors, Will’s Seamaster also boasts a brown aluminum bezel ring and dial, accentuating the watch’s tactical appeal. Its caseback has a gun-barrel design that calls to mind the 007 films, while at its heart is the Caliber 8806 with unmatched anti-magnetic properties. A mesh bracelet ensures a stylish but secure fit on the wrist.
