Since the first look of Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, was unveiled earlier this year, the movie has received immense love all over the world. While it remains to be seen if the Greta Gerwig-directed film will live up to its hype, what is clear is that Barbie-inspired style has swept the fashion circles. So we’ve decided to shortlist the watches that will fit perfectly in this colourful fantasy world.
RM 38-02 Tourbillon Bubba Watson
The time-only skeleton tourbillon watch, measuring 43.70 x 50.04 x 15.95mm has an asymmetrical front and is cast in the American golfer's signature colour, pink. The bezel and caseback are in pink and white Quartz TPT, while the caseband combines Carbon TPT and pink Quartz TPT layers to create a candy-like pattern. The watch is equipped with the RM 38-02 Manual Winding Tourbillon boasting about 70 hours of power reserve.
TAG Heuer Carrera Date (Ref. WBN2313.BA0001)
The stainless steel TAG Heuer Carrera Date has already been spotted on the wrist of Ryan Gosling during the promotions of Barbie. The 37mm timepiece that is nearly a Barbie Pink dial, features a date window at 6 o’clock and hands that have applied with Super-LumiNova®. The Calibre 7 Automatic powers the watch and boasts about 56 hours of power reserve. The tapered H-shaped steel bracelet with folding clasp and double safety-push buttons complete the watch.
Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Yellow Neon SAXEM (Ref. 429.JY.0120.RT)
The translucent 44mm polished and micro-blasted SAXEM case of the watch is reminiscent of one of the more vibrant Barbie colours we spotted in the promos. This timepiece, released in the early part of 2023, showcases Hublot’s prowess in material and colour development (just look at that shade of neon yellow!). The watch has a skeletonised dial showcasing the bridges in sapphire so as to display the mechanics as much as possible. The timepiece is powered by HUB6035 Manufacture automatic tourbillon movement using a micro-rotor so as to not conceal the back of the movement. A lined transparent neon yellow rubber strap concludes the watch with a titanium deployment buckle.The watch is a limited edition of 50 pieces.

OMEGA Constellation Quartz 28 mm 131.10.28.60.60.002
The 28mm stainless steel Omega Constellation is characterised by its famous half-moons, “claws” on the case. On a patchouli blossom violet dial there are the diamonds set as hour markers in parallel to the bezel which has engraved Roman hour markers in the same colour as the dial. The quartz timepiece has OMEGA Calibre 4061 driving it and offering 48 months battery life. The watch is water resistant to 30 metres and is finished with a mono-rang stainless steel bracelet.
