There are guys who wear watches and there are Watch Guys. Daniel Craig is one of the latter. The actor has been working with Omega—007's watch of choice—since he took up the role of James Bond in Casino Royale in 2006, and he's used the last couple decades to build up a seriously impressive collection. We've picked out 11 of our favorites, from the Seamaster he wore in No Time to Die to a vintage Memomatic from the '70s. And if you want to hear from the man himself, we've also included a video in which Esquire's own watch expert Nick Sullivan chats with Craig about his personal picks. If you ask us, it's certainly worth a watch (no pun intended). – Jonathan Evans, style director Plus: |

From the MoonSwatch to vintage gems, the British actor has a pretty formidable collection. |
If you found yourself in a room with Daniel Craig and had the opportunity to pose one question to the former 007, you could do a lot worse than ask him the time. That way, you can catch a glimpse of what's on his wrist. You see, the British actor has a lot of watches. Very nice ones. He's worn them on the red carpet, off-duty and on-screen in some of his most iconic roles, fully cementing himself as a bona fide watch guy—he happens to style them with some fantastic suits, too. As an Omega ambassador, it's perhaps unsurprising that he's most often seen wearing the Swiss brand. So we decided to take a deep dive into many of the models he owns—and the adventures they accompanied him on. |

I've had more crashes than birthdays. My family always prioritized fun, flogging whatever vehicles we had. At two years old, I started on a homemade go-kart with a five-horsepower engine. The next day, I rolled it. Dad slapped a roll cage on it the following morning. By three, I'd crashed a skid steer. At nine, I borrowed mom's car for a joyride and ran over our mailbox. I rolled a dozen off-road vehicles before I officially got my driver's license. But my crash at the 2005 Colorado Cog Rally, that was different. That was the crash that taught me the difference between calculated risk and pure stupidity. The second I hit the top of that crest, I saw the corner. A hard chicane that hadn't looked like much from below. It was exactly what Christian's notes said. There was no time to change anything. I saw the inside bank and made the split-second decision to try to straight-line it as best I could. Christian never looked up. He knew based on what I said, which was, "Oh fuck." |

Marcello Hernández is not talking about our hour-long Zoom interview, which the twenty-eight-year-old comedian does almost entirely off camera. ("After I do an interview, I try to immediately forget that I did it," he deadpans.) No, he's referring to his new stand-up routine, which—at the time of our chat in early July—he's touring around the country. The goal? See what works, see what doesn't, and shape the material into a Netflix special that will tape later this fall. He's more than a little obsessed. "It's my baby," he says. "It's my wedding." If it's Hernández's big day, expect an incredibly fun ceremony. Almost as soon as the Cuban-Dominican American performer joined Saturday Night Live in 2022, it became obvious that he is the most dynamic cast member the show has seen since Kate McKinnon or Bill Hader. His superpowers include: a detonate-your-TV-screen manic energy, the ability to create instantly meme-able characters for SNL's scrolling audience, and a knack for channeling his upbringing as a Miami-born child of immigrants into hilarious, quick-witted sketches. "That's where a lot of my comedy comes from," Hernández says, "is that my parents went through a lot to give me a good life." |
