SPIKE LEE: GMT-MASTER
AT THE OSCARS
AT THE OSCARS
By DANNY CRIVELLO
Rolex recently turned the professional pilot's tool into a high-jewelry item, as with the new “Pepsi” GMT with its signature red-and-blue two-tone bezel recreated with a meteorite dial. Lee, who has been making movies for over 30 years, is wearing the black-and-brown “Root Beer” model remade entirely out of Everose gold—the version of rose gold that Rolex makes itself.
Spike Lee, who is one of the most influential and socially conscious filmmakers of his generation, also wore Kobe sneakers in honor of Kobe Bryant at the Oscars Sunday.
Spike Lee has been paired with Protégé Kyle Bell, left, the Native American filmmaker who strive to tell the stories of his people, "stories that don’t get told or whose voices are not heard" and whose work as director, director of photography and film editor has included the Heartland Emmy-winning documentary show "Osiyo: Voices of the Cherokee People." Kyle Bell was named a 2019 Sundance Indigenous Program Fellow.
