Worn by: Elvis Presley as Chad Gates
Reference: Hamilton Ventura
Brand: Hamilton
The King of Rock and Roll wore the astonishing Hamilton Ventura in this romance—a watch shaped like a triangular fin that gleamed on Elvis Presley's wrist. If the Ventura looked futuristic, that's because it was the world's first electric wristwatch. A marvel of both technology and design, it was a natural choice for the world's biggest superstar, and with the King's endorsement, it became the must-have watch of its era. The Ventura's out-of-this-world style would return to the big screen decades later in Men in Black.
