READ FULL STORYThe Marvel Studio has once again set the hearts of Marvel enthusiasts racing with their latest instalment from the Guardians of the Galaxy series. The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 releases on May 5th, 2023, and the fans can barely contain their excitement. At the world premiere screening at the L.A.’s Dolby Ballroom, big names from the cast and crew graced the red carpet (purple actually). As the star-studded cast of Hollywood took centre stage, Chris Pratt, known for his iconic role as Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, dazzled the crowd with his charismatic personality and sophisticated taste in luxury timepieces.
Chris Pratt At Guardians of the Galaxy Vol:3 Premiere In A Panerai Luminor
The leading man of this highly-anticipated movie stood out from the crowd in a custom-made purple-checked suit. It was a sartorial choice that mirrored his dynamic and quirky personality. However, what really stole the show was Pratt’s choice of timepiece. His recent favourite, the Panerai Luminor, perfectly complemented his look. As the young folks say, “he ate and left no crumbs.” Chris Pratt’s watch game has always been on-point. He keeps displaying his keen eye for horological pieces, especially from Panerai. Pratt has been spotted in the Luminor models, at several press conferences, award events, and even frequently on his Instagram. Hence, it wasn’t surprising to see his wrist adorned with the Panerai Luminor at the premiere that he attended with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.
The Luminor Marina he wore at the event comes equipped with the P.9010 automatic mechanical movement, designed and crafted by Panerai. With 31 jewels and a 3-day power reserve, this watch is a perfect blend of reliability and precision. The 44mm case, made of brushed 18k yellow gold, gives an elegant look. The black sun-brushed dial, adorned with luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers, has a date aperture at three o’clock and small seconds at nine. The polished yellow-gold bezel adds a touch of sophistication to the watch’s design. The Luminor Marina is water-resistant up to 50 metres and comes with a stylish alligator Nero strap.
Chris Pratt’s Enduring Love for Panerai
1. Panerai Luminor Equation of Time
In March 2023, Chris Pratt wore the 44mm Luminor 1950 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio, also known as PAM 00601, while making a stop at the Magic Radio Studio in London to promote Super Mario Bros where he plays the main character, Mario. He kept his promotional mode on holding a mini figurine of Mario in his hand while his Panerai was on display. The signature sandwich dial with Arabic numerals and hour markers is complemented by the titanium cushion-shaped case carrying the iconic crown protector and the brown leather strap. It has a manual winding movement with P2002/E calibre. The dial features complications like the equation of time indicator, date and month.
2. Panerai Luminor Due Goldtech
Chris Pratt made a dapper appearance at the premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder in Los Angeles, California, in June 2022. Pratt’s impeccable sense of style was on full display, particularly his timepiece – the Panerai Luminor Due Goldtech 42mm in rose gold, also called PAM1041. The watch is a striking example of the brand’s commitment to superior design and craftsmanship. Its dial is replete with a date window at three and small seconds sub-dial at nine o’clock. Also, the see-through sapphire crystal caseback flaunts the P.900 automatic calibre.
3. Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Ceramica
For the Onwards Press Tour (2020), Chris Pratt was seen donning the Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Automatic Ceramica, also known as the PAM1441. Pratt was on promotion for his role in the Disney Pixar movie and chose to wear the same 44mm wristwatch to the Ellen Show the day after. The military-grade timepiece is hi-tech and robust in build due to the material. The ceramic material used in this model is known to be five times harder than stainless steel. Thus, it can take any amount of knocking and shock. With a P.9010 calibre, the watch powers complications like a date window, a second sub-dial, and a GMT function.
Other notable appearances of Chris Pratt in a Panerai watch include the premiere of Jurassic World: Dominion (2020), the Golden Globes, 2015, and the Academy Awards, 2015. Additionally, his Instagram gives us a glimpse of his wide-ranging Panerai collection.
