As Wimbledon crowned its champions, the courts weren’t the only place serving up brilliance. This year’s tournament saw royals, A-listers, designers, and tastemakers bring their style game courtside—right down to the watches on their wrists. From revolutionary Rolexes to dazzling APs, timepieces became as much a talking point as the tennis itself. Here’s our edit of the standout wristwear that made headlines at SW19.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Game-Changing Rolex Land-Dweller
Leonardo DiCaprio knows his way around a Rolex. Long before becoming an official Testimonee, the actor was a faithful member of the Crown’s unofficial fan club. At Wimbledon, seated beside Rolex CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour, DiCaprio wore the new Land-Dweller ref. 127334. With its 40mm Oystersteel case, fluted white gold bezel, and honeycomb-motif dial, it’s an instant icon. But it’s the innovation inside that steals the show: the Dynapulse escapement—a modern alternative to the Swiss lever mechanism unchanged since the 1750s. Leave it to Rolex to rewrite horology history courtside.
King Felipe’s Stealthy Bulgari Octo Ultranero
King Felipe of Spain added an unexpected pop of color to his Wimbledon look. His choice? The Bulgari Octo Ultranero ref. 102738, a striking all-black design punctuated by electric-red hands and indices. With a matte black case and rubber strap, it’s sporty yet sophisticated—breaking the rules of traditional head-of-state style, yet proving that Felipe’s sartorial reputation is well-earned.
Chris Hemsworth’s Bold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
If there’s a watch that embodies larger-than-life energy, it’s Chris Hemsworth’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked ref. 15412BC. Crafted in 18K white gold with 32 baguette-cut Swiss topaz stones, this masterpiece balances elegance and audacity. The openworked dial showcases the Calibre 3132, revealing Hemsworth’s taste for complexity and coolness. Statement-making in every sense.
Jannik Sinner & Carlos Alcaraz’s Rolex Daytona Duel
While Jannik Sinner unseated Carlos Alcaraz to clinch his first Wimbledon title, the pair were evenly matched off-court with their choice of Rolex Daytonas. Sinner wore the Everose gold ref. 126515LN with a subtle sundust dial, while Alcaraz opted for the yellow gold ref. 126518LN with a turquoise “Tiffany” dial—a hue dominating collector wish lists worldwide. Both models feature Oysterflex bracelets and the COSC-certified Calibre 4131 movement, blending elegance with performance.
Nicole Kidman’s Timeless Omega Constellation
Nicole Kidman, a vision of refined sophistication, stayed true to her Omega ambassadorship with the Constellation. Its iconic half-moon facets and “claws” design reflected Wimbledon’s quiet glamour, while diamonds on the bezel added just the right sparkle for a courtside appearance.
