Introduction to Aksel Hennie
Aksel Hennie is a Norwegian actor born in Oslo who built his reputation through sharp, committed performances in Scandinavian cinema before crossing into international productions. His breakthrough came with the 2011 thriller Headhunters, adapted from Jo Nesbø's novel, in which he played Roger Brown — a role that earned the film widespread critical attention and a BAFTA nomination for Best Film Not in the English Language. From there, Hennie moved into major Hollywood productions, appearing in Ridley Scott's The Martian alongside Matt Damon, and taking a prominent role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarok. His career spans prestige drama, genre thriller, and blockbuster filmmaking — a range that reflects both his versatility and his profile as one of Norway's most recognisable actors working on a global stage.
The Aksel Hennie watch collection, based on sightings logged in our database, centres on Rolex — and specifically on a piece that carries genuine collector credibility. Hennie has been photographed wearing a Rolex GMT-Master II 'Pepsi', identifiable by its distinctive red-and-blue bezel, in what appears to be the reference 16710. Produced between 1989 and 2007, the 16710 is a steel-cased GMT with an aluminium bezel insert, a calibre 3185 movement, and the kind of quiet, purposeful design that appeals to people who actually know watch references rather than simply recognising brand names. He was spotted in a garden setting, white shirt, black tie, ice lolly in hand — the 16710 sitting on his wrist with zero ceremony.
The choice of a reference 16710 rather than a newer ceramic-bezel GMT says something concrete: this is not a watch bought for visibility at an event. The 16710 has appreciated steadily in the secondary market but was for years considered the workmanlike option compared to earlier references. Collectors who gravitate toward it tend to prioritise usability and history over novelty. For a one-watch sighting, it is a well-considered data point.
Aksel Hennie Spotted Wearing Rolex GMT-Master II 'Pepsi' Ref. 16710
Inserted 04/05/2023
The GMT-Master II 'Pepsi' in steel is one of the most recognisable complications in watchmaking history — born from a 1954 Pan Am partnership and coveted ever since. On the wrist of Norwegian actor Aksel Hennie, best known internationally for 'Headhunters' and 'The Martian', the red-and-blue bi-colour bezel of the ref. 16710 reads effortlessly against a white dress shirt — proof that a serious travel watch needs no dressy occasion to justify itself.
