YOU’RE GONNA WANNA get Caught Stealing Austin Butler’s dainty Breitling.
At an early screening of his upcoming film in Puerto Rico, the actor walked into the packed cinema wearing a sheer Henley top layered over a singlet and classic black trousers. If that doesn’t fit the leading man image already, he chose the Swiss watchmaker’s Chronomat 32, a smaller model that’s becoming a popular size preference amongst Hollywood’s top actors. Think Paul Mescal, Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi in skinny timepieces by other watchmakers.
It’s only proving that small watches on men aren’t a passing fad, too. When Butler announced his ambassadorship with Breitling last year, the partnership aligned with Breitling’s newer releases of smaller, retro-modern watches for men. They’re the kind of elegantly sized timepieces preferred by Marlon Brando and Paul Newman, leading men of a bygone era whom Butler idolises.
The Chronomat 32 has been a particular favourite of Butler’s, first wearing it to the Eddington Cannes Film Festival premiere. Featuring a stainless steel case and namesake 32 mm diameter with an 8.54 mm thickness, the watch slips in and out of a sleeve cuff with ease. It’s one of the models Breitling has marked in their new era of all-purpose functionality meets black-tie appropriate.
