Rubber B has a variety of straps in different colors and styles in our product portfolio that are appropriate for both business\/formal wear and more casual situations as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Travolta has been active in film, television, and musical theatre for over 50 years, making him one of the true luminaries of American culture. Travolta\u2019s enduring career has seen him effortlessly work across a plethora of different styles and projects, including musicals, action films, comedies, and dramas alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"JOHN TRAVOLTA &amp; BREITLING - THE MAKING OF 2015\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/whMhpPoHwCk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/rubberb.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while he is certainly a marquee figure in American culture, Travolta is also a keen watch collector, for reasons that we will discuss later in this article. Below, we will take a closer look at the life, career, and watch collection of the inimitable John Travolta.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is John Travolta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John Joseph Travolta was born on February 18, 1954, in Englewood, New Jersey. His father, Salvatore, was a tire salesman, and his mother, Helen, was an actress and singer who later became a high school drama and English teacher. He is the youngest of six children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of his siblings &#8211; Joey, Ellen, Ann, Margaret, and Sam \u2013 would go on to become actors as well. He attended Dwight Morrow High School but would drop out as a junior in 1971 to pursue acting full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Breitling John Travolta  commercial\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TmJun0JkqV4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/rubberb.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">John Travolta\u2019s Early Show Business Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He would move to New York City and land roles in a touring company of \u201cGrease,\u201d as well as appearing on Broadway in \u201cOver Here!\u201d He would then go on to move to Los Angeles to further his career as an actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travolta\u2019s first television role would be as a slip-and-fall victim in an episode of the show \u201cEmergency!\u201d in 1972. He would make his film debut three years later, in 1975, with a small part in the film \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Rain.\u201d That same year, he would take on the role that would catapult him to stardom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"John Travolta Breitling&#039;s Photo Shoot - The Making of\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aQC1IZfRyU4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/rubberb.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welcome Back, Kotter, and Mainstream Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1975, Travolta would begin appearing on the sitcom \u201cWelcome Back, Kotter\u201d as the lovable but dimwitted high school student Vinnie Barbarino. Travolta became the breakout star of the show, and audiences quickly found themselves connecting with the young actor and his character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While appearing on the show, which ran for four years, Travolta would begin appearing in a number of successful films as a lead. This would include \u201cCarrie\u201d in 1976, which would solidify the young actor as a bonafide star. The following year, he would be seen in \u201cSaturday Night Fever.\u201d Both the film and the soundtrack to it would prove to be immensely popular with audiences around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27098\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Princess-Diana-Dancing-with-John-Travolta-in-Cross-Hall-at-The-White-House-1191985-64x36.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Princess Diana Dancing with John Travolta in Cross Hall at The White House, 11\/9\/1985<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1978, Travolta would star as Danny Zuko in the film adaptation of \u201cGrease,\u201d which would prove to be a wildly popular film upon its release, in part due to the appearance of Travolta. He would appear in \u201cUrban Cowboy\u201d in 1980, which would prove to be his last box office success until 1989\u2019s \u201cLook Who\u2019s Talking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1980\u2019s would prove to be a downturn for Travolta, one that he would truly recover from when he appeared in the seminal gangster classic \u201cPulp Fiction.\u201d Released in 1994, the film would see Travolta play the part of Vincent Vega, a bumbling hitman who is partnered with Samuel L. Jackson\u2019s Jules Winnfield. Travolta would go on to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, thereby revitalizing his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Die Hart the Movie Trailer (2023)- Kevin Hart &amp; John Travolta - Prime Video\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vSzHsEsUYLw?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/rubberb.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travolta intermittently makes appearances on television and is still active in feature films as well. He will next be seen in the thriller \u201cAmerican Metal,\u201d which will be released in 2023. He will also appear in \u201cCash Out,\u201d which will be directed by one of his frequent collaborators in recent years, Randall Emmett.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Watches are in John Travolta\u2019s Watch Collection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a professional pilot, John Travolta serves as a brand ambassador for Breitling. This makes sense given that the watch was one of the first to be used by professional pilots in the early days of commercial aviation. Among the watches known to be in John Travolta&#8217;s collection are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breitling Navitimer: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This legendary timepiece is frequently associated with pilots and aviation enthusiasts.

It features a distress beacon that can be activated to alert rescue services to your location. Travolta has been seen wearing this watch on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patek Philippe Nautilus:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collectors and enthusiasts adore this luxury sports watch. Travolta was spotted wearing a Nautilus 5711\/1A-011 with a blue dial and a stainless steel case and bracelet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rolex Daytona: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Rolex&#8217;s most famous watches, the Daytona is known for its racing-inspired design. Travolta has been spotted wearing a vintage 1960s Daytona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breitling Chronomat: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another popular Breitling watch, the Chronomat has a rugged, sporty design. Travolta has been spotted wearing a rose gold Chronomat B01 with a black dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other models from Breitling, Rolex, and Patek Philippe are said to be in John Travolta&#8217;s collection, in addition to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/en\/breitling-watch-band-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27100\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rubberb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rubber-B-Banner-The-ultimate-Breitling-rubber-strap-64x36.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You in Need of a Custom Rubber Watch Band For Your Luxury Watch?
