Chris Hemsworth’s publicly documented watch rotation spans some of the most recognizable names in Swiss watchmaking, including Audemars Piguet, Rolex, TAG Heuer, Omega, Bulgari and IWC. Recent highlights include a platinum Rolex Day-Date, several precious-metal Royal Oaks, a Bulgari Octo Finissimo and an exceptional white-gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked worn at Wimbledon in 2025.
Inside Chris Hemsworth’s Watch Collection
Chris Hemsworth is best known internationally for portraying Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but away from film sets his wristwear has developed into a collection worthy of attention in its own right.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Hemsworth began his career in Australian television before moving into Hollywood films and becoming one of the most recognizable actors of his generation. His career has since expanded well beyond Thor to projects including Rush, Extraction, Extraction 2, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and the Limitless series.
His watches tell an equally interesting story.
Earlier appearances were dominated by racing-inspired TAG Heuer chronographs, along with pieces from Omega and IWC. Over time, however, Hemsworth’s public watch choices became considerably more ambitious, moving toward platinum Rolex models, ultra-thin Bulgari watches and increasingly rare Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks.
It is important to distinguish between watches Hemsworth has been photographed wearing publicly and watches worn by characters he portrays on screen. A public appearance does not necessarily establish permanent ownership, but it provides much stronger evidence than unverified social-media watch lists.
TAG Heuer: Where Hemsworth’s Interest in Watches Became Public
TAG Heuer represents one of the most important chapters in the Chris Hemsworth watch story.
Hemsworth’s relationship with the Swiss manufacturer developed following the 2013 Formula One film Rush, in which he portrayed British racing driver James Hunt. Hemsworth later explained that TAG Heuer gave him a watch during the production and that he subsequently purchased watches for members of the film team. The relationship eventually developed into an official partnership, with TAG Heuer announcing Hemsworth as a global ambassador in 2015.
That history helps explain why so many of Hemsworth’s earlier watches came from TAG Heuer.
TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 Flyback Chronograph
One of the most significant is the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 36 Automatic Flyback Chronograph.
Hemsworth has described the Carrera Calibre 36 as an important early luxury watch in his collecting journey. Its motorsport connection was especially appropriate following Rush, a film built around the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
The Carrera’s combination of a racing chronograph, substantial case and technical presentation fits naturally with Hemsworth’s athletic and action-oriented image.
TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01
Hemsworth was also frequently photographed with the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01, one of the brand’s more contemporary chronographs from that period.
The partially skeletonized architecture of the Heuer 01 gave the Carrera a considerably more technical appearance than traditional racing chronographs, while retaining the collection’s longstanding association with motorsport. Hemsworth featured prominently with the model during his years representing TAG Heuer.
TAG Heuer Monaco
Another watch associated with Hemsworth is the TAG Heuer Monaco.
Its square case makes the Monaco immediately recognizable, while its long relationship with motorsport gives it a logical place alongside Hemsworth’s Carrera watches. The Monaco, Carrera and Heuer 01 collectively represent the period during which TAG Heuer was most closely connected to Hemsworth’s public watch identity.
He would appear on 171 episodes of the show and leave after three years with the series, during which time his visibility in Australia would increase significantly. In 2006, Hemsworth was a contestant on the fifth season of “Dancing with the Stars Australia,” where he was paired with professional dancer Abbey Ross and eliminated after six weeks.
Ironically enough, that tiny television appearance would almost significantly derail his career, as the producers at Marvel would later go on to admit that they almost passed on offering him the role of Thor because of his appearance on the program, fearing that fans might find it too off-putting.
In 2009, Hemsworth would have a small but memorable role as George Kirk, father of James Kirk, in J.J. Abrams’s “Star Trek” reboot. While he would only appear in the first few minutes of the film, the sequence was memorable, and it brought him to the attention of both audiences and industry veterans alike.
Breakout Success and Future Endeavors
In 2011, Hemsworth would star as the titular character in “Thor,” which would bring him international fame and critical plaudits on a scale which he had not received previously. “The Cabin in the Woods,” which was actually shot shortly after the completion of “Star Trek,” but not released until after “Thor,” benefited significantly from having Hemsworth in the cast and would help to further cement him as a certifiable movie star.
He notably appeared in the 2016 “Ghostbusters” spin-off film, and while the film was not received well as a whole, he was considered to be one of the few bright spots within it.
One of Hemsworth’s most significant projects outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was his appearance in the 2020 action film Extraction, which saw him reteam with Joe and Anthony Russo, who have directed many films for Marvel Studios. The film was one of the most popular films of 2020 and was watched by over 90 million households in just the first month of its release, eclipsing the previous record, which was held by Sandra Bullock’s “Bird Box.”
Hemsworth has reprised the role of Thor in a number of films over the years, and is set to do so again in next year’s “Thor: Love and Thunder.” He will also co-star in the Mad Max spin-off “Furiosa” and is slated to appear in Extraction 2 for Netflix as well, reprising his role of extraction specialist Tyler Rake.
Omega Speedmaster
Before his TAG Heuer partnership became such a visible part of his public image, Hemsworth was also photographed wearing an Omega Speedmaster.
Few chronographs possess a history comparable to the Speedmaster. Its clean black dial, tachymeter bezel and functional chronograph layout make it one of the defining sports watches of modern Swiss watchmaking.
Hemsworth’s Speedmaster is especially interesting because it demonstrates that his taste was not limited to watches linked to commercial partnerships.
For owners of compatible Omega Speedmaster Professional models, Rubber B currently produces Swiss-Made vulcanized rubber configurations engineered specifically around Speedmaster case geometry, providing a natural connection between Hemsworth’s early watch choices and the Rubber B collection.
IWC Pilot’s Watch
Hemsworth has also been associated with an IWC Pilot’s Watch, adding another category to a collection otherwise heavily influenced by chronographs and integrated sports watches.
Pilot’s watches traditionally emphasize legibility, large cases and functional design. That aesthetic aligns closely with the utilitarian side of Hemsworth’s watch collection and contrasts with the precious-metal Royal Oaks and Rolex models that would appear on his wrist later.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Rose Gold
By 2021, Hemsworth’s watches had moved decisively into another category of collecting.
British GQ documented him wearing a 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 18-karat rose gold with a blue dial.
The Royal Oak occupies a particularly important position in modern watch design. Its octagonal bezel, exposed screws and integrated bracelet transformed the definition of a luxury sports watch when the collection appeared in the 1970s.
Hemsworth’s rose-gold example retains that architectural sporting character while introducing the weight and visual presence of precious metal.
It would not be his last Royal Oak.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph in Pink Gold
For a 2022 screening of Limitless, Hemsworth appeared wearing another Audemars Piguet: a pink-gold Royal Oak chronograph with a blue dial and pink-gold subdials.
The combination illustrates an increasingly clear pattern within his watch choices.
Rather than simply moving toward expensive watches, Hemsworth appears repeatedly drawn to sporting designs reconstructed in precious metals. The Royal Oak remains fundamentally a sports-watch design, but pink gold gives the chronograph a significantly different presence than its steel counterparts.
That mixture of performance architecture and precious material appears repeatedly throughout the collection.
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Extra Thin
Hemsworth departed from the traditional round sports-watch formula at a 2022 red-carpet appearance when he wore a rose-gold Bulgari Octo Finissimo Extra Thin.
The Octo Finissimo is defined by geometry.
Its sharply faceted case and extraordinarily thin profile are radically different from the substantial proportions normally associated with modern luxury sports watches. GQ identified Hemsworth’s example as an Extra Thin model with a rose-gold case measuring approximately 6.4mm thick.
It is one of the more sophisticated choices in the Chris Hemsworth watch collection because its appeal is rooted less in immediate brand recognition and more in case architecture and ultra-thin watchmaking.
Rolex Day-Date in Platinum
One of Hemsworth’s most memorable Rolex appearances came during the 2022 premiere of Spiderhead.
Hemsworth wore a platinum Rolex Day-Date with an ice-blue dial and diamond-set bezel, taking an already prestigious Rolex configuration considerably further into high watchmaking territory.
The Day-Date has occupied a distinctive position within the Rolex catalog since its introduction, combining the day of the week written in full with the date display and precious-metal construction.
Platinum gives Hemsworth’s example a particularly understated form of extravagance. From a distance, the white metal can resemble steel; on the wrist, platinum delivers considerably greater weight and exclusivity.
Rubber B manufactures model-specific vulcanized rubber straps for compatible Rolex Day-Date 40 references using Blocked Integration™ engineering to create a secure, rotation-free and flush connection with the case. Compatibility should always be verified by exact Rolex reference before selecting a strap.
Audemars Piguet × 1017 ALYX 9SM Royal Oak Offshore
Hemsworth’s Audemars Piguet collection took another turn in 2023 when he was photographed in Abu Dhabi wearing the 18-karat yellow-gold Royal Oak Offshore created with 1017 ALYX 9SM and designer Matthew Williams.
The collaboration stripped many of the visual elements normally associated with a chronograph from the dial, resulting in a remarkably minimal interpretation of the Royal Oak Offshore.
The contrast is unusual: the watch is constructed almost entirely from visually dominant yellow gold, yet the dial itself is extremely restrained.
Among Hemsworth’s watches, it represents one of the clearest examples of contemporary watch design crossing into fashion and cultural collaboration.
Chris Hemsworth’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak at Wimbledon 2025
The most important addition to the original Rubber B article comes from Wimbledon 2025.
Hemsworth attended the tournament wearing an extraordinary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15412BC. GQ identified the special edition as being produced in 18-karat white gold and set with 32 baguette-cut Swiss topaz stones across the bezel and hour markers.
Behind those stones sits an openworked Calibre 3132, exposing much of the watch’s mechanical architecture and the double-balance-wheel mechanism that gives the model its name.
It represents a considerable evolution from the TAG Heuer Carreras associated with Hemsworth earlier in his career.
The fundamentals remain similar—strong case design, technical mechanics and sporting character—but the execution has moved firmly into rare and highly specialized haute horlogerie.
For a 2026 update, this should be one of the central watches in the article rather than an afterthought.
What Watch Does Chris Hemsworth Wear in Extraction?
Hemsworth’s personal and public watches should not be confused with the watches selected for his movie characters.
In the original Extraction, Hemsworth’s character Tyler Rake wears a green Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400. The rugged digital watch can be seen repeatedly throughout the film.
The choice is appropriate for the character: the Rangeman was engineered as a durable outdoor instrument rather than a luxury accessory.
It should therefore be identified as an on-screen watch, not automatically presented as part of Hemsworth’s personal collection.
Similarly, Hemsworth wears a TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph in Spiderhead. Again, that watch belongs in a separate “watches worn on screen” category unless independent evidence establishes it as part of his personal rotation.
How Chris Hemsworth’s Watch Style Has Changed
Looking at Hemsworth’s documented watches chronologically reveals a clear progression.
The earlier collection centered largely around performance-oriented chronographs: Omega Speedmaster, TAG Heuer Carrera, Monaco and IWC Pilot models. His TAG Heuer relationship also connected those watches directly with racing and the world of Rush.
The later period is noticeably different.
Platinum Rolex, rose- and pink-gold Audemars Piguet models, Bulgari’s ultra-thin Octo Finissimo, the yellow-gold ALYX Royal Oak Offshore and the topaz-set openworked Royal Oak demonstrate a shift toward precious metals, integrated sports-watch architecture and increasingly unusual watchmaking.
Yet a consistent theme remains: Hemsworth rarely appears drawn toward restrained traditional dress watches.
His most recognizable choices tend to combine technical design with a strong physical presence—chronographs, sports watches, architectural cases and highly engineered movements.
Chris Hemsworth Watch Collection: Final Thoughts
Chris Hemsworth’s watch collection has become considerably more interesting than the assortment associated with him during the early years of his career.
What began publicly with watches such as the Omega Speedmaster and a succession of TAG Heuer chronographs has developed into a rotation containing platinum Rolex models, Bulgari’s ultra-thin Octo Finissimo and some of Audemars Piguet’s most distinctive Royal Oak configurations.
His appearance at Wimbledon in 2025 wearing the white-gold, topaz-set Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked may be the clearest indication yet of that evolution.
For collectors interested in adapting the sporting character of compatible luxury watches for everyday wear, Rubber B produces Swiss-Made vulcanized rubber straps engineered around specific Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Omega case architectures. Rubber B’s Audemars Piguet catalog, for example, includes model-specific options for compatible 39mm and 41mm Royal Oak models as well as Royal Oak Offshore configurations.
The correct strap is determined by the exact watch reference and original bracelet or strap configuration, ensuring that precision of fit remains as carefully considered as the watch itself.
