If fashion, and by extension Hollywood, is in the midst of a \u201990s revival, Austin Butler<\/a> may be its most convincing leading man.<\/p>\n

The Caught Stealing<\/em> star feels tailor-made for a decade that prized effortless cool, a sensibility shared by Breitling\u2019s Chronomat collection, which, despite being introduced in 1983 by Ernest Schneider, gained renown years later. \u201cMy dad watched Seinfeld<\/em> every night and Chronomats were the watch that Jerry wore,\u201d Butler tells ELLE from Breitling\u2019s Madison Avenue flagship.<\/p>\n

On Thursday evening, the actor celebrated the watch\u2019s return at the brand\u2019s Madison Avenue boutique, where an intimate crowd gathered to toast its enduring legacy. Arriving in a vintage yellow taxicab and walking a matching yellow carpet lined with retro pay phones, Butler fully embraced the evening\u2019s nostalgic spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up being a big Bruce Willis fan and [he\u2019d] wear the Chronomat,\u201d the actor says. (Other notable wearers over the years have included Courteney Cox on Friends<\/em>, Slash, and Samuel L. Jackson.) \u201cI have a lot of nostalgia for that time. I also resonate with that period of style as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at pictures of Bruce Willis from that time period, he had such an effortlessness about him, didn\u2019t he?\u201d Butler notes. \u201cThere\u2019s so many pictures of just him in a white T-shirt, just fully effortless.\u201d The actor, clad in a white tank top, a workwear jacket, and a steel Chronomat, with his sun-kissed blond hair artfully tousled, looked every bit the embodiment of the effortless \u201990s cool he so admires.<\/p>\n

The new Chronomat collection reimagines the sports watch\u2014developed originally in collaboration with the Italian Air Force\u2014with sleeker proportions, enhanced wearability, and modern mechanics.<\/p>\n

On screen, Butler\u2019s appeal transcends decades. Filming for Enemies<\/em>, an A24 spy thriller with Jeremy Allen White, has wrapped, and the actor is juggling a slate of ambitious projects: a Lance Armstrong biopic, the time-travel epic The Barrier<\/em>, and a new Miami Vice<\/em> film alongside Michael B. Jordan.
\u201cI feel very grateful to be a part of that because of the people involved,\u201d he says of the film, which is slated for a 2027 release. From F1<\/em> director Joseph Kosinski, the adaptation marks Butler\u2019s latest turn in a blockbuster with serious cultural cachet.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael is such a talented actor and great human being,\u201d he adds. \u201cJoe is a visionary and I\u2019ve been such a fan of his movies. Every time I come out of a Joe Kosinski movie, it reminds me why I love going to the movies.\u201d<\/p>\n
