As the world prepares for another season of the prestigious Wimbledon tournament in 2025, luxury timepiece specialist, Spencer Dryer, founder of BQ Watches, has curated a selection of watches that perfectly embody the spirit of the event.
According to Dryer, a watch at Wimbledon is more than just a timepiece, it is a representation of the moment. “Whether it’s the stillness before a second serve or the roar of the crowd after match point, the best watches exude the same composure, legacy, and quiet power,” he says.
Topping Dryer’s list is the Rolex Datejust “Wimbledon”, a classic timepiece that has become synonymous with the tournament. It features a slate sunray dial, green Roman numerals, and a white gold fluted bezel, reminiscent of the iconic grass courts and cloudy skies of SW19.
“This watch embodies the essence of Wimbledon – timeless, elegant, and refined,” Dryer comments.
The Rolex Datejust “Wimbledon” has been popularized by its appearance on tennis legends like Roger Federer, and although Rolex has not officially named it as the “Wimbledon” watch, it has been warmly embraced by collectors, dealers, and fans alike.
Another notable watch on Dryer’s list is the two-tone Rolex model, often seen on the wrist of Roger Federer. BQ Watches also recommends the Rolex Datejust, as seen on Roland Garros 2025 winner, Carlos Alcaraz, which combines youthful energy with traditional design.
For those seeking a more modern and bold statement, Dryer suggests the Richard Mille RM011-FM, known for its futuristic design and bold features. The classic and sporty Rolex Explorer I also makes the list, along with the rare and revered Patek Philippe Nautilus Mid-Size.
For the vintage watch enthusiast, Dryer recommends the Rolex Submariner, while the Tudor Black Bay Burgundy, spotted on David Beckham, offers a combination of rich tones and contemporary flair.
According to Dryer, these watches not only serve as accessories, but also reflect the heritage and grace of the game of tennis. “Wimbledon is about timeless performance, and so are these watches. They capture the rare balance between tradition and modernity, whether worn by players or fans,” he says.
