Hundreds of individuals often look up to and are inspired by great world athletes. The accomplishments and records they set, as well as their sense of fashion and favorite brands, are all things that most of their admirers aspire to be like. That also applies to the watch, a cherished accessory demonstrating that time is an athlete’s most crucial aspect.

Several of the most well-known athletes in tennis, basketball, football, and golf are chosen by ultraluxury watch manufacturers to serve as its ambassadors and associates. They can also serve as their primary sponsors.

Overall, here are some of the world-famous athletes and the amazing watch variants they wear:

• David Beckham

Despite being retired, Beckham remains one of the most dedicated and well-respected professional sportsmen worldwide. The famous sportsperson owns a TUDOR Black Bay Bronze, an amazing 43-millimeter diving’ watch, along with TUDOR Royal.

The company’s early history of adaptability and its traditional automatic mobility served as inspiration for these outstanding creations. Both watches feature a robust steel bracelet for maximum accuracy and a stunning blue/bronze dial.

• Roger Federer

While famous individuals and prominent athletes are different personalities, Roger Federer is definitely both. He sports perhaps the most prestigious and well-known luxurious men’s timepiece label in the entire world, making him the greatest tennis player in history.

Since 2006, Federer has served as a Rolex ambassador. Each time Roger raises a trophy, he dons a distinctive Rolex carefully selected to go with the competition. The Datejust II is among his all-time favorite watches.

It has special significance since it was the timepiece he wore to set the record for most Grand Slam victories among men. The stainless steel piece, which has a silver face and subdued blue markings, also has the same beauty and elegance as Federer’s playing style.

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Usain Bolt is the official timepiece of the 100 and 200-meter Olympic world records. Hence, you’d be fortunate to obtain this priceless item! Given his athletic success, it is a special edition version that fits his aggressive nature.

• Novak Djokovic

Tennis player Novak Djokovic from Serbia is among the most successful athlete. He earns a significant amount of money from the tournament awards he receives. In addition, he also has partnerships with other renowned companies for which he serves as both ambassador and model.

Audemars Piguet is one of the companies. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Day and Date is among the versions we frequently spot on the wrist of this tennis superstar. Djokovic and the Swiss watchmaker began collaborating in 2011.

This magnificent watch’s dial measures just 39 millimeters in diameter and is covered in scratchproof, dustproof, and moisture-resistant sapphire crystal. The piece comes with a brown alligator leather band and is available in stainless steel as well as 18-carat pink gold. Nevertheless, Novak Djokovic claims he loves to wear the stainless steel model.

Audemars Piguet edition is obviously the tennis player’s favorite, and it is evident on the court as well. Following a tough game that ended up being the lengthiest Grand Slam finals in history, he received Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open in 2012. However, prior to actually receiving the trophy, Djokovic fastened the timepiece on his wrist.

• All Blacks (New Zealand Rugby Team)

The All Blacks, known for their renowned “Haka” as well as for their exceptional durability and stamina, are well-liked brand ambassadors for the TUDOR line of sporting watches. The TUDOR Black Bay Dark, a vintage-inspired all-black steel diver’s piece, is what the crew is wearing, according to the manufacturer.

Serena Williams, the reigning number one tennis player in the world and probably the best player in history, is a watch aficionado and is even aware of it. For most of 2019, the athlete wore a blitzed-out Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore. This gleaming item remained on Williams’ wrist throughout her triumphs and even accompanied her around the court.
