Off The Court: The Watches Worn By Carlos Alcaraz & Novak Djokovic At The Wimbledon Trophy Ceremony
In the final thrilling match at Wimbledon yesterday, rising tennis star Carlos Alcaraz set the tone for his career as he won his first-ever Singles Title against the reigning champion and former Haute Time cover star, Novak Djokovic. And while it was quite a historic moment in the world of tennis as the 20-year-old tennis phenom became victorious, proving to be a bittersweet moment for Djokovic, for us, the real match was off the court. Ahead, we’re taking a closer look at the watches both tennis legends were spotted wearing post-match.
As a Rolex Testimonee, Alcaraz accepted the winning trophy sporting a now discontinued Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm in 18-karat yellow gold with an incredibly special meteorite dial fitted with a rubber strap. While we were expecting Alcaraz to rock a Rolex during Wimbledon, I have to say, I did not foresee it being this particular one. In fact, his choice in wearing this Daytona actually allows me to understand who Alcaraz is as a person. This Rolex reveals Alcaraz’s maturity and affinity to rare, one-of-a-kind timepieces that tell a story. Looking at all of the elements that come together to create this Daytona, from the meteorite dial contrasted with the black to the hints of yellow gold, this watch radiates prestige and precision — two adjectives I would dare to describe Alcaraz.

On the other hand, Djokovic, who is an Hublot ambassador, took a more predictable route wearing the 42mm Big Bang Integrated Green Ceramic — which we applaud a timepiece that matches the occasion. The Hublot Big Bang Integrated is designed with a deep, distinctive green color that perfectly complements ‘tennis green.’ And this watch, like Djokovic, is a legend. Hublot’s Big Bang Integrated Ceramic collection is a symbol of the brand’s mastery of engineering and craftsmanship as it has taken Hublot years to perfect the expertise and craft of this material, making them a true trailblazer in the watch industry — synonymous with Djokovic on the court.

After further dissecting the watches worn by Alcaraz and Djokovic, it’s safe to say they both chose watches — whether they knew it or not — that undeniably matched who they are on and off the court.
