Mena Massoud — watch collection

About Mena Massoud’s watch collection

Mena Massoud is a Canadian-Egyptian actor who broke into the mainstream as the lead in Disney's live-action Aladdin (2019), a film that grossed over $1 billion at the global box office and introduced him to audiences worldwide. Born in Cairo and raised in Toronto, Massoud trained at Ryerson University's theatre program before landing smaller television roles on shows like Open Heart and Jack Ryan. The Aladdin casting marked a significant turning point, and he has since worked to build a career beyond the role, appearing in the action film Prospero (2023) and taking on projects that demonstrate his range as a performer. He is also an advocate for increased representation of Middle Eastern actors in Hollywood.

The Mena Massoud watch collection, based on our sightings, points to a collector with a taste for technically serious sports watches rather than purely dress-oriented pieces. The standout confirmed sighting is the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR, the reference widely known as the 'Batman' due to its two-tone black-and-blue Cerachrom bezel. Rolex debuted this reference at Baselworld 2013 — the first instance of a two-color ceramic bezel on the GMT-Master II line — and discontinued it in 2019 when the updated 126710BLNR took over. The 116710BLNR houses the Calibre 3186, a COSC-certified automatic movement running at 28,800 vph with a 48-hour power reserve and Rolex's Parachrom hairspring for improved resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.

Choosing a discontinued reference like the 116710BLNR rather than its current successor suggests Massoud either acquired the piece during its production window or sought it out specifically on the secondary market, where Batman references continue to command a premium. It is a functional GMT watch built for travelers, which fits neatly with the demands of an internationally working actor. With only one confirmed sighting in our database so far, the full scope of his collection remains to be seen.
