Anyone who's watched
Tom Cruise sprint across rooftops, cling to an aircraft as it takes off or free fall from the stratosphere knows one thing for sure: the man never misses a beat. And
when it comes to style , that precision holds true – especially on his wrist. Say what you will about the Hollywood action titan's idiosyncrasies, but Cruise's taste in timepieces cannot be denied.

From crème de la crème Cartiers to just-released Rolexes – including at least two that are quite literally from out of this world – here's a closer look at some of the most
lust-worthy, collector-coveted watches in Tom Cruise's line-up.

The Rolex Daytona is already considered
holy grail tier in the watch world – but trust Cruise to take it a step further. One of his latest additions appears to be the ultra-covetable Rolex Daytona Platinum. It's essentially the Daytona turned up to 11: made from ultra-luxurious platinum, finished with an icy blue dial, and topped off with a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel.
Cruise already owned a few coveted Daytonas – including the classic 'Panda' and a rare meteorite-dial version – but this platinum model puts him ahead of the curve, especially as the appetite for platinum wrist candy continues to grow. Good luck spotting this on anyone else's wrist.

Also in his collection is a heaven-sent white gold
Cosmograph Daytona featuring a meteorite dial, crafted from an actual meteor that crash-landed in Namibia during prehistoric times. The material is sliced thin, then polished and chemically treated to reveal its natural crystalline pattern, meaning no two dials are ever alike.

It seems Cruise has a thing for cosmic timepieces – he was also spotted wearing his
(inter)stellar meteorite-dial Rolex Day-Date 40 during the press tour for the latest Mission: Impossible movie, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Crafted from 18k white gold, it features the same sort of one-of-a-kind dial with naturally occurring Widmanstätten patterns, this time paired with a commanding President bracelet, fluted bezel and 10 baguette-cut diamond hour markers. It's rare, it's expensive, and it's exactly the kind of high-impact statement piece you'd expect from Cruise.
