Roger Federer has been a Rolex ambassador for more than a decade now. Throughout their partnership, he made history many times over — becoming the first tennis player to have 20 Grand Slam titles, and the record for most titles at Wimbledon. Time stops when Roger is on the court, but he decides to wear a Rolex on his wrist anyway. Let’s take a trip down memory lane with Roger’s Rolex watches: |

Rolex Datejust IIThis is perhaps Roger’s most famous watch. He has spoken about its significance many times — it was the watch he was wearing in 2009 when he beat Pete Sampras’ all-time Grand Slam record. The understated Rolex Datejust II in stainless steel has blue Arabic markers. |

Rolex GMT-Master II BatmanIn 2012, Roger reached the Olympic final after beating Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina. He was wearing what appears to be the Rolex GMT-Master II Batman, which comes with a blue and black bezel. He would wear the watch again during his 2017 Australian Open win.

Rolex MilgaussBy 2013, Roger was already the world’s greatest tennis player. The then 7-time Wimbledon champion liked to wear lighter Rolex watches on the court; and here he is wearing a Rolex Milgauss with a black dial and green crystal. Photo from Roger Federer on Instagram |

Rolex Datejust 41 Wimbledon DialFor his eighth record Wimbledon title last year, Roger chose to wear this steel and gold Rolex Datejust with a slate grey dial and Roman numerals. Oftentimes referred to as the “Wimbledon” dial, this watch features hints of green which is a nod to the tournament. Photo from Roger Federer on Instagram |
