The legendary action actor, Dolph Lundgren with a Rolex Daytona on his wrist, is as tough looking and hard working as his timepiece he wears. Lundgren has a long line of movies, both playing the good guy and the bad guy.
Probably one of his most memorable roles is playing the Russian boxer, Ivan Drago, that kills Apollo Creed in Rocky IV, and then is subsequently defeated by Rocky in Russia. He reprises the role in Creed II when he is on the sideline with Ivan’s “son” fighting Apollo Creed’s son. Lundgren isn’t even Russian. He was born Hans Lundgren, from Sweden.
Dolph Lundgren has an extensive history of acting roles with at least 69 movies already under his 4th degree black belt. His martial artistry is legendary – winning the European championship in 1981. He even had a stint as a true to life bodyguard for Jamaican singer Grace Jones.
Lundgren is not only physically talented. He is also quite intelligent. He has a a master’s degreen in chemical engineering and even attended MIT on a Fulbright scholarship before leaving to start acting full time.
Besides appearing in the Rocky series, he has also appeared in the James Bond movie A View to a Kill and all 3 The Expendibles movies. He took the stage as the primary good guy lead role in the 3 film Universal Soldier film series.
Lundgren appeared in many action movies which are quality standalone flicks which truly earn him the rank of one of the perennial action superstars in the world. He not only has the martial arts skills to handle himself well on screen with any A list actror – friend or foe. He also has the appearance of a powerful and imposing figure. His blonde hair, obvious physical strength and powerful jaw make him an ideal go – to for directors looking for an intimidating force for good or evil.
Lundgren has been found appearing in multiple TV shows over the years even appearing as himself in multiple cameos – most notably Sharknado, Arrow, and Sanjay and Craig. His most recent role of note was his role as King Nereus in the highly popular movie Aquaman. His character in that movie plays the father of the lead female and initially sides with with bad guys, but ends up switching side to back Aquaman and his heir to the throne. He is possibly the perfect actor to play that switch-up role since he has fitted so well on both sides of the good vs evil spectrum.

The attached Reference 116500LN appears to be close to the Rolex Daytona worn by Lundgren. It has a white dial and a black bezel. It is hard to determine the kind of age on this timepiece worn by Lundgren. However this appears to be the model worn before Rolex changed the Power reserve to 72 hours.
Many of the features of the Rolex Daytona remain the same, with just some tweaks to make it more accurate, more reliable and of course improve the power reserve. The timepiece is resistant to water at 330 feet and is built from a block of Oystersteel.
It is protected by a sapphire crystal and contains all of the chronograph features of a stop watch – great for drivers. This timepiece has exceptional features for an action star, since it both is accurate and can hold its own in a car chase and even in the water.
