Gordon Ramsay Watch Collection

MasterChef Gordon Ramsay is known for his fiery temper and high standards. It seems that his exacting demands in the kitchen also apply to his choice of watches!

Despite having a small watch collection (that is, compared to other celebrities), his timepieces are impressive – and are some of the best ever created.

Let’s check out Gordon Ramsay’s favorite watches, vintage and new:

The Rolex Submariner ref 1680 was produced for ten years, beginning in 1967. The vintage watch is best known for being the reference with six different “Mark” versions – three with “meter first” text on the dial and another three with “feet first” text.

One of Gordon’s standout pieces is the Breitling Chrono Avenger M1. The stunning yellow dial, paired with three black sub-dials, really makes the watch dial pop. The titanium construction gives the watch a robust but light body, that’s perfect for action packed days in the kitchen. Photo from Gordon Ramsay on Instagram

This model is considered the last of the “classic” Rolex Submariners – that is, it has no date on the dial, is equipped with an aluminium bezel insert, and a pre-Super case and Maxi dial.

One of the models launched on the centennial year of Rolex, the Rolex Submariner ref 116619 was the first Submariner to be crafted in solid, 18k white gold. They matched the luxe construction with a standout lacquered blue dial and bezel.

Don’t be fooled though – the “Smurf” as it’s called, has all the makings of a Rolex Submariner, including water resistance of up to 1,000 feet. Photo from Gordon Ramsay on Twitter
