F1 Driver Lando Norris Watch Collection

Lando Norris, possessing both British and Belgian roots, currently races in Formula One for McLaren, representing under the British flag. 

Once a teammate to Daniel Ricciardo, Norris is hailed as an emerging star in F1. At just 23, he ascended to the role of McLaren's senior driver. This marks the first time in his racing journey that he stands as the older teammate. However, with four years under his belt, multiple podiums, and a pole position to his name, he's certainly not lacking in experience.

In the world of luxury watches, Lando appears to have a budding collection, though not as extensive as some might expect. Yet, as he matures both on and off the track, it wouldn't be surprising to see his watch collection flourish, mirroring the trajectories of fellow racers like Max Verstappen, Charles LeClerc, Lewis Hamilton, and George Russell.

For the time being, let's delve into the exquisite timepieces that form part of Lando Norris watch collection.

Let's begin with the timepiece created from a collaboration between Richard Mille and McLaren, the team to which Lando Norris belongs. At the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, Richard Mille and McLaren Automotive unveiled their first jointly commissioned timepiece, the RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph McLaren.

Developed in close collaboration with McLaren Design Director Rob Melville, the RM 11-03 McLaren has been in the works ever since McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille formed their partnership.

 Their combined passion for unique design, innovative materials, and contemporary craftsmanship shines through in the watch.

The case of the RM 11-03 McLaren is crafted from Carbon TPT® intertwined with Orange Quartz TPT®, resulting in a remarkably durable and lightweight case. This design is a nod to a signature McLaren color.

The timepiece is limited to 500 pieces globally.

Retail price: ~$191,500.

Market price: ~$500,000.

This picture was taken at the Italian Grand Prix in September 2022, and we see

the Richard Mille RM67-02 on his wrist. Actually, at that event, his fellow McLaren, Daniel Ricciardo, was also wearing the same watch but he changed the strap to green.

It is a unique piece made of quartz and carbon TPT with orange accents, reflects the vibrant colors of its team. This exclusive 'not-for-the-market' timepiece exhibits the brand's penchant for bold design and technical excellence.

Intriguingly, the original strap appears to have been replaced with a striking green one, adding an extra touch of personality to this standout timepiece.

Weighing a mere 32 grams including its case and rubber band, the RM67-02 is among the lightest watches available, testifying to Richard Mille's commitment to innovative materials and engineering.

Although this watch is not commercially available, its unique characteristics and the brand's reputation for high-end, luxury timepieces suggest that it would command a high price in the market.

Another watch brand we can see in Lando Norris watch collection is Audemars Piguet. In summer 2022, Lando Norris was seen wearing a 38mm Royal Oak Chronograph 26715ST ‘50th Anniversary’ in stainless steel with blue dial.

This watch is inspired by the original Royal Oak featuring a ‘Grande Tapisserie’ pattern with the iconic Bleu nuit nuage 50 dial color.

Retail price: $32,900.

Market price: ~$58,000.

The final timepiece (so far) in Lando Norris' watch collection that I discovered is the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710BLRO on a jubilee bracelet, introduced in 2018. It's commonly referred to as the "Rolex Pepsi" due to its distinctive red and blue bezel combination.

A hallmark of many GMT-Masters is the two-tone bezel, where the contrasting colors typically represent AM and PM time. While not a precise representation, the idea is to offer wearers a visual cue for the day/night cycle. Beyond its functional purpose, this design choice also provides Rolex with an opportunity to introduce vibrant splashes of color. The combinations of black and blue, as well as blue and red, are just a couple of the diverse color pairings that GMT-Master II bezels have showcased over the years.

Market price: ~$23,000.
