Worn by: Steve Carell as Mark Baum
Reference: Rolex Submariner
Brand: Rolex
Mark Baum’s Rolex Submariner gleams faintly amid the gray despair of The Big Short—a corporate shark’s tool worn by a man who hates the ocean he swims in. Baum times meetings, meltdown calls, and moral reckonings with the same mechanical indifference the watch was built for. In Vegas hotel rooms and Wall Street boardrooms, its perfect rhythm mocks the chaos around him. The Submariner, born for divers and adventurers, becomes in Baum’s hands a symbol of existential futility: precision without purpose. Its lume glows coldly in the fluorescent light of the collapsing system he’s about to profit from, a reminder that timing the apocalypse still pays well.
