The automatic ticker packs in Rolex’s 3135 movement which gives you 48 hours of power reserve, it’s waterproof up to 300m, and has a handy magnified cyclops date window lens. So function-wise it ticks all the right boxes. The watch has the rugged familiarity of an OG Submariner but with some unique visual features that set it apart from the pack—a bit like the superhuman powers of Dr. Bruce Banner’s jacked Hulk alter ego.
Given Ferrell’s watch collecting status, it’s not surprising to see this one in his collection. He has a thing for hard-to-get IYKYK pieces from all ends of the spectrum. At this year’s Critics Choice Awards it was an obscure Japan-only collab between Timex and Swedish fishing company Abu Garcia, and a No Time To Die Omega Seamaster at the Golden Globes. These two conversation starters run the full gamut of horology, from fabric strap quartz models to titanium automatics, reflecting Ferrell’s genuine interest in the pieces he wears and certified watch guy status.
No matter the price tag, Ferrell seems to have a deep appreciation for a solid ticker. And the Hulk Submariner is another example of his elite-tier watch tastes, which all get revealed with the same wonderfully intentional sleeve reveal.
