In 2010, the sci-fi film Inception was one of the biggest grossing films around. It was written and directed by Christopher Nolan who was hot off the Batman movies at the time. 

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio named Cobb, who is a professional thief. But not your normal thief. he uses the subconscious and the dream world to manipulate people and steal their secrets.

It is indeed an exciting, yet complex plot that you could watch over and over to understand all the nuances.

As a watch lover, one of the questions I always wonder is which watch was each of the actors wearing?

Dominick “Dom” Cobb and Arthur are “extractors”; they perform corporate espionage using experimental military technology to infiltrate their targets’ subconscious and extract information through a shared dream world.

Which Watch Did Leonardo DiCaprio Wear?

The leading role of Cobb was played by Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception and he does a mind-blowing job as usual. Portraying a tortured soul who has lost his wife in a dream, playing dangerous games none of us would ever likely play while awake.

Leonardo DiCaprio wore a Tag Heuer Calibre 5 Automatic during the whole movie. And given he was an ambassador for Tag Heuer from 2009, so it is no surprise that he wore one of their watches.

The specific reference model he was wearing is a Tag Heuer WV211B.BA0787.
