Tom Cruise with the Panerai PAM 63 GMT Luminor in movie Tropic Thunder

Talking about Cruise, his character within the movie is Les Grossman. A satire of certain Hollywood executives and Tom Cruise, who's as numerous know, additionally to becoming an actor, is another Hollywood professional as co-owner of United Artists Pictures. Read elsewhere concerning the absurd quantity of makeup and the body padding he wears, however the most noticeable a part of his wardrobe may be the large Panerai watch on his wrist. 

Cruise isn't the biggest guy, and also the PAM on his wrist looks enormous (it's 44mm wide that is large although not huge), and pretty bad-ass to tell the truth. Certainly a watch fit for that role. Like Sylvester Stallone, I'd reckon that this Panerai comes from Tom's personal collection instead of being provided by Panerai.

In Tropic Thunder, Cruise wears what's clearly a Panerai, although not an average model. It's the Panerai PAM 63 GMT Luminor. It's one of the couple of Panerai watches that lacks a sub-dial, since many Panerai models typically place a minimum of the seconds hand inside a sub-dial. This specific PAM 63 GMT includes a jet black face (obsidian shiny having a gentle horizontal line texture) a very polished steel case. 

The dial has a large amount of markings onto it, which can be considered cluttered in Panerai terms, because the standard appearance of Panerai faces is spartan as you would expect. The GMT hand includes a devoted group of numbers round the out dial from 1 to 24. Because it increases the legibility of the GMT function, however the more compact size of the GMT arrow guarantees it doesn't enter into the way in which. 

You might also need a date window by having an upside lower magnifier lens, along with a large seconds hands. The hour hands have been in Panerai's modern style with simply the guidelines and edges visible, a very nice technical look. Because the Luminor title attests, the super luminova applied throughout the watch is thick and vibrant when it must be. 

Within the movie, Cruise wears one having a glossy polished black leather or even crocodile (more frequently having a glossy finish) strap, but the watch can often be found having a brown strap or steel bracelet.

The PAM 63 GMT is no more being made. An up-to-date model may be the PAM 88 (which comes with a sub-dial). There is a limited edition PAM 63C model. This really is undoubtedly the best watch within the movie. Other watches displayed turn to be interesting or vintage style military watches.
