Stührling Apocalypse 160 Chronograph Mens - OWNED
WORN BY HARRY BELLAFONTE with COA
Certificate of Authenticity - Full Provenance with 2 COAs - 1 Year Warranty
Today’s offering showcases a special treasure from our COT Celebrity Collection: A Stührling Original Apocalypse 160 Classic chronograph wristwatch personally owned and worn by the legendary Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Harry Belafonte. This was a watch often worn by Mr. Bellafonte.
Far more than an entertainer, Belafonte was an artist who reshaped culture - he also happened to be a watch collector.
Harry Belafonte was one of the most celebrated entertainers of the 20th century—a trailblazing singer, actor, and activist whose artistry reshaped popular culture. Dubbed the “King of Calypso,” he introduced Caribbean music to mainstream audiences around the globe. His landmark 1956 album Calypso became the first LP in history to sell more than one million copies, fueled by the enduring popularity of Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)—a song that remains especially recognizable to this day. His warm, charismatic stage presence and magnetic voice made him a household name, while his work in film, including Carmen Jones and Island in the Sun, broke new ground for Black actors in Hollywood.
Belafonte’s career was recognized with some of the industry’s highest honors. He won a Grammy Award for Calypso, later receiving a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His performances earned him Emmy and Tony Awards as well, making him one of the rare “EGOT” recipients. In 1989, he was awarded the Kennedy Center Honors, and in 2014 he received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for his profound influence on both culture and conscience.
Equally celebrated for his activism, Belafonte was a close confidant of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a tireless champion for civil rights, social justice, and humanitarian causes. He helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, supported the anti-apartheid movement, and worked with UNICEF as a goodwill ambassador. His fearless voice against injustice and his lifelong commitment to equality cemented his legacy not only as an entertainer but as a moral leader of his era. To own a watch worn by Belafonte is to hold a personal connection to a man whose artistry brought joy to millions and whose convictions helped change the world.
This watch:
Designed with Stührling’s signature architectural styling, the Apocalypse 160 Classic combines angular lugs, screw-accent bezel, and a commanding 47 mm presence that captures both contemporary sport energy and luxury appeal.
Its finely honeycomb textured black dial is detailed with applied luminous indices, bold Arabic “12,” three recessed sub-registers for chronograph and seconds timing, a framed date window at 4 o’clock, and gold-tone luminous hands accented by a vivid red central chrono hand. The solid stainless steel case wears a brushed gold-tone finish with contrasting black bezel and a deeply knurled crown. Completing the look is the original signed black rubber strap patterned for grip and comfort.
This was a watch very-well loved by Mr. Bellafonte. It clearly saw much wrist time. It remains in overall good condition with wear and also hairlines throughout the crystal. We have not cleaned or polished the watch or done anything to the outside of it - we left it just as we acquired it, which includes many signs of wear. Please inquire if you would like a new crystal installed.
On the inside, one of our Master Watchmakers has installed a new battery making it ready for enjoyment.
