Luxury Watches at Wimbledon 2023

The highly anticipated Wimbledon Tournament, beloved by tennis fans worldwide, commenced on Monday, 3 July, and will continue until Sunday, 16 July. Renowned as the oldest and grandest tennis championship in the world, it holds an esteemed status as the pinnacle of the sport. Consequently, numerous prestigious brands align themselves with this iconic event.

Rolex stands as one of the long-standing supporters of Wimbledon, having assumed the role of official timekeeper in 1978. This partnership marked the genesis of a flourishing association. In 2009, Rolex celebrated their fruitful bond by introducing the Wimbledon dial, characterized by a slate grey face adorned with Roman markers accentuated by a classic green hue. This design is often seen as an homage to the lush green courts of Wimbledon.

However, one notable absence from the action this year is the legendary Roger Federer, who bid farewell to professional tennis last year. Nonetheless, there is a possibility of catching a glimpse of him from the sidelines, observing the captivating matches.

As avid watch enthusiasts and tennis aficionados are aware, many of Wimbledon's biggest stars serve as "brand ambassadors" for various watchmakers. The watches that will grace the tournament remain a mystery for now, but we will keep this post regularly updated. Last year, during the Wimbledon 2022, we spotted many great watches. Hopefully, this time, we will do so too!

Stay tuned to discover the luxury watches at Wimbledon 2023.
