Tom Cruise effortlessly paired a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin with both black tie and casual attire at this year’s festival, showcasing its versatile design. The watch, introduced in 1996 with roots dating back to the 1970s, was crafted by Vacheron Constantin to compete with iconic models like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. Despite undergoing revisions, it remаins a sporty and attractive timepiece.

Cruise’s Ultra-Thin model, with an 8.1 mm-thin profile, perfectly complemented his tuxedo at the Cannes premiere of the Top sequel, earning him a five-minute standing ovation. Priced at $102,000, the chronograph features a 41.5 mm 18-karat white gold case, integrated bracelet, blue sunburst display, and a moonphase mechanism at 6 o’clock. The perpetual calendar function ensures accurate day, date, and month displays for an impressive 78 years without manual adjustments. Cruise, briefly present at Cannes, journeyed to Japan for the Top premiere and is expected to make appearances in the United States before the film’s Friday release. The watch’s perpetual calendar feature proves advantageous for his hectic schedule.
