Pedro Pascal has quickly become one of the most recognisable faces in film and television. From The Mandalorian to The Last of Us, his on-screen presence has made him a household name. But for watch enthusiasts, there’s another side to Pascal worth celebrating: his thoughtful, varied watch collection. Whether on the red carpet, in character, or in his personal life, Pascal’s watch choices say a lot about his style.
At BQ Watches, we love looking at the ways stars use timepieces to express themselves, and Pascal’s selection balances luxury, practicality, and storytelling. Let’s take a closer look.
The Cartier Santos is perhaps the best reflection of Pascal’s refined style. Instantly recognisable with its square case, exposed screws, and blend of sporty elegance, the Santos is a piece that works in almost any setting.
Pascal has even called it one of his “10 things I can’t live without,” confirming its place as a personal favourite. It’s easy to see why: the Santos is both timeless and versatile. With its history as one of the very first pilot’s watches, it carries heritage and sophistication while remaining wearable day to day.
For Pascal, it seems to be a true go-to piece rather than just a red-carpet accessory.
The Rolex Datejust is a classic in every sense, and Pascal has worn it both on-screen and off. In Wonder Woman 1984, his flamboyant character Maxwell Lord sported a gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, chosen to reflect the over-the-top bravado of the role. It’s a clear example of how watches in film can reflect a character’s personality, status, and role within the story.
Away from film sets, Pascal has also been associated with more traditional Datejust models, particularly stainless steel examples. It’s not surprising - few watches are as versatile or enduring as the Datejust. From a business suit to a casual weekend outfit, it has the flexibility that matches Pascal’s own understated elegance, offering a balance of sophistication and practicality that complements both his personal style and public appearances. Its timeless design, reliable movement, and recognisable aesthetics make it a staple choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
In Pascal’s recent role in Materialists, his character is portrayed as wealthy, stylish, and unapologetically sophisticated. The watch choices reflect this perfectly. On his wrist, we see two serious pieces from Jaeger-LeCoultre:
The Reverso Tribute Chronograph in pink gold – a nod to classic Art Deco design and one of the most distinctive reversible cases in watchmaking.
The Master Control Chronograph Calendar, also in gold – a complicated piece that combines chronograph functionality with a full calendar display.
These selections are a world away from the rugged Casios of his action films. Instead, they place Pascal firmly in the realm of high horology, showing that when the character calls for luxury, he wears it well.
Pascal has also turned to Omega for public appearances, most notably with a special edition Seamaster tied to New York City. Sporting a skyline motif on the caseback, the watch brought a playful yet sophisticated edge to his look on the red carpet, perfectly balancing elegance with a touch of individuality.
The Seamaster line is already a favourite among actors, thanks to its connection with James Bond, but Pascal’s choice of a city-themed edition makes the selection feel more personal and less predictable. It’s a reminder that he enjoys watches with a story, whether that’s rooted in cinema, history, or a design detail, and that he values timepieces that can complement both formal occasions and his own personal style.
The combination of precision, design, and narrative makes the Omega Seamaster a fitting choice for someone as conscious of style and character as Pascal.
Perhaps the most iconic watch associated with Pascal is the one from The Last of Us. Fans spent months trying to identify the model, but it turned out to be a specially designed prop, made to replicate the broken field watch worn by his character Joel in the video game.
With its black dial, Arabic numerals, sub-seconds dial, and cracked crystal, the watch is less about luxury and more about symbolism. It represents Joel’s past, his relationship with his daughter, and ultimately his entire emotional journey. Every scratch and imperfection tells a story, making it a deeply personal emblem. In this case, the watch isn’t just an accessory - it’s a storytelling device.

Looking across Pascal’s watches, a few themes emerge:
A balance of practicality and luxury. He moves easily between rugged Casios and precious metal Jaeger-LeCoultres, showing he values both sides of watch culture.
Narrative-driven choices. Many of his on-screen watches, from Wonder Woman to The Last of Us, are tied directly to character development.
An eye for classics. With staples like the Cartier Santos and Rolex Datejust, Pascal proves he appreciates the enduring icons of watchmaking.
A flair for red-carpet statements. His Omega Seamaster shows he’s not afraid to have fun with special editions that stand out without being loud.
Pedro Pascal’s rise as an actor has been matched by a growing interest in his style, and his watch choices are central to that. Whether it’s the timeless elegance of Cartier, the everyday versatility of Rolex, the rugged reliability of Casio, or the refined artistry of Jaeger-LeCoultre, his collection shows range and taste.
At BQ Watches, we see Pascal as a perfect example of how a watch can be more than just an accessory. It can reflect character, history, practicality, or luxury. For collectors and fans alike, his watches offer inspiration - proof that the right timepiece tells a story, whether on-screen or off.
