The Watches of Dave Bautista

Step into the realm of luxury, style, and precision as we explore the timepieces of iconic wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista. After hanging up his wrestling belt, the WWE champion now has a burgeoning movie career, starring in hits such as Spectre and Dune. His commanding presence, coupled with his penchant for finely tailored suits and impeccable watches, make his collection a sight to behold. Check out the watches of Dave Bautista.

Rolex Yacht-Master II White Gold Platinum

Dave made a dazzling entrance at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, wearing a gray boat neck shirt and a logo-printed Gucci suit. He topped off his look with killer accessories, which included strings of pearls and diamonds, and a luxurious sports watch – the Rolex Yacht-Master. Known as the Crown’s signature nautical timepiece, the Yacht-Master offers functionality and robustness in one elegant package.

The American actor chose the Yacht-Master II ref 116689 from 2007, the only Rolex watch that exhibits a fusion of a white gold body with a platinum bezel. Its white dial with applied indices guarantees all-day legibility, while the dashes of blue and red create a fun atmosphere and spice up the watch’s sleek exteriors. Under the ref 116689’s hood runs the Caliber 4160, which took 35,000 hours of perfecting. Photo from Dave Bautista on Instagram

Rolex Sky-Dweller Yellow Gold Black Dial

Technically sophisticated watches also appear to be retired wrestler’s cup of tea. For both The Killer’s Game’s screening and his guesting on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in July 2024, Dave donned a yellow gold Rolex Sky-Dweller from 2012. Designed with the cosmopolitan traveler in mind, this watch is a statement of exquisite luxury and excellent horological engineering.

Dave’s Sky-Dweller, the ref 326938, measures 42mm with a Ring Command rendered in typical Rolex fashion with a signature fluting. The dial is black and features applied hour markers in gold to match the exteriors. Aside from a COSC-certified movement, its most distinguishing feature is the rotating 24-hour disc in the center of the dial allows the wearer to keep track of the time in another part of the world.

Panerai Luminor 1950 Rose Gold

Dave is also a big fan of the brawny but stylish Panerai watches. He wore a handful on multiple occasions, such as his big screen appearances, movie premieres, and TV program guestings. These days we see him with dressier but equally capable Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT Oro Rosso, which was first introduced at SIHH 2014. 

Crafted in solid red gold, this iteration measures 44mm in diameter, making it the perfect fit for Dave’s wrist. The casing is complemented by a dark brown face with lume-filled indices and Arabic numerals that give the watch a rugged, vintage appearance. It is also equipped with several complications ranging from a GMT, a small seconds marker, and a power reserve display, while its huge crown is held in place by a protective bridge piece.
