Rihanna Wore an All-Time Classic Rolex

Welcome to Watches of the Week, the place we’ll observe the rarest, wildest, and most covetable watches noticed on celebrities.

Add another to the various causes to stan Rihanna: she’s made watches a necessary aspect of her being pregnant journey. When she introduced her first being pregnant final January, she wore considered one of Rolex’s rarer and extra uncommon fashions, the pointed King Midas, which is impressed by the Parthenon temple of Athena in Greece (the truth that the watch is throughout my Instagram feed a 12 months later doesn’t really feel like a coincidence). Final month, in the course of the Tremendous Bowl halftime present through which she teased her child bump, she wore a scarlet Jacob & Co. Sensible Skeleton Northern Lights. And this week, Rihanna wore a totally totally different watch, the Rolex Day-Date, whereas out in Los Angeles with A$AP Rocky. 

The Day-Date has by no means regarded cooler—an impact Rihanna has on most of the clothes and accessories she wears. Most famously related to presidents like Lyndon Johnson, the Day-Date clearly advantages from Rihanna’s edge. Relatively than sliding it underneath a go well with, she exhibits it off alongside her tattoos and the bump poking out from beneath her Loewe crop high. 

Chrome steel sport watches have grow to be all-occasion items, pulled from on a regular basis put on into formal costume. Rihanna makes a superb argument that we must always really be doing the other: sporting costume watches whereas operating errands. 

Rolex is Rihanna’s model of selection, and he or she’s a fan of the Day-Date specifically. This mannequin, which has a gold case and champagne dial, seems to be a chunk she has owned for years. There are photographs of her courtside at NBA video games sporting a similar-looking watch. After all, Rihanna can afford to stack up as many Day-Dates as she likes. She additionally owns a uncommon model in pink gold, which is made particularly distinctive by its “Oyster” bracelet. (The Day-Date is so related to its customary “President” bracelet that nearly everybody is aware of the watch by that nickname.) 

Daniel Kaluuya’s Vacheron Constantin Abroad Chronograph 

Kaluuya’s watch combines two components that by no means miss. First is Vacheron Constantin, which has by no means achieved a pink carpet attendee improper (see final week’s Oscars for proof of that). The second is the chronograph with a reverse-panda structure, that means a black dial with white subdials. Collectors search out classic watches with this similar structure, and plenty of trendy items, like this Abroad, have adopted the fashion. Vacheron is thought for its dressier watches, however it does sporty ones like this simply as effectively. 

Aaron Rodgers’s Zenith Chronomaster Sport  

An important phrases spoken throughout Aaron Rodgers’ interview with Pat McAfee this week? “I’ve one ring and one watch.” That one watch is the Zenith Chronomaster Sport with a white dial and a trademark trio of multi-colored subdials. It’s good to see this specific watch on Rodgers’ wrist, as a result of he informed GQ’s Yang-Yi Goh that he’d misplaced it after the Packers went to London to play the New York Giants final season. “I searched all of the locations I believed it may very well be—so I’m going to should re-search my home after I get again,” Rodgers mentioned. “That’s often my on a regular basis watch.” 

Luka Doncic’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Doncic’s Audemars Piguet is the kind of watch that’s hardly ever seen IRL, however seems to be standard-issue NBA gear. That is really Doncic’s third variation of the Royal Oak, which he owns in gold-on-gold and white gold with a salmon-colored dial. One way or the other, the white-gold blue-dial model he wore this week is essentially the most modest of the bunch. Doncic is presently making an attempt to come back again from damage and assist the Mavericks safe a playoff spot, which could clarify the brand new timepiece. After I’m sick, I additionally scroll by way of webshops in search of a brand new watch to purchase as just a little pick-me-up. 

Jalen Ramsey’s Hublot Spirit of Massive Bang  

New Miami Dolphin and legendary shit talker Jalen Ramsey launched himself to his new fan base sporting a Hublot Spirit of Massive Bang. This can be a shit-talking watch: chunky, daring, not hiding from anybody. And it isn’t even the brashest model of the Massive Bang, which is available in clear yellow, orange, purple sapphire, and—most intimidating of all—all-black ceramic.
