Royals are consistently in the public eye, either grabbing headlines for their charity work and official royal visits, or for their sense of style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the limelight and status they enjoy, Princes William and Harry value tradition and simplicity, if we were only to judge by the watches they wear on their wrists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are their choice timepieces:<\/p>\n

Prince William’s Watches<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Omega<\/a><\/p>\n

Prince William <\/strong>is most often seen wearing his everyday watch: the\u00a0Omega Seamaster<\/a><\/span> 300m Midsize Co-Axial Watch<\/em>. The watch is rumored to be a present from his mother Diana, so it’s no surprise that he wears it every day. It was also the watch that he wore for his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011. This particular model has a stainless steel case, and brushed, polished stainless steel bracelet which makes it wearable for a number of occasions.<\/p>\n

\"Cartier<\/a><\/p>\n

Another watch that\u00a0Prince William\u00a0<\/strong>reportedly has is a\u00a0Cartier Tank Francaise<\/em><\/a><\/span>. He is very rarely seen wearing it, perhaps because of its sentimental value. The late Princess Diana loved Cartier timepieces and wore a Tank Francaise herself, and so she gifted the Prince with an engraved piece for\u00a0one of his birthdays. He has also passed on his penchant for Cartier watches<\/a> to his wife, Kate, whom he gifted\u00a0with\u00a0the Ballon Bleu<\/a> de Cartier watch<\/a>\u00a0for their third\u00a0wedding\u00a0anniversary.<\/p>\n

\nPrince Harry’s Watches<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

<br<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>
\nPrince Harry<\/strong>\u00a0is more open to the watches he wears compared to Prince William. He has been spotted wearing two different watches, both of which are very appropriate for the fields he is in. The first one is a\u00a0Rolex Explorer<\/a><\/span> II ref. 1655\u00a0<\/em>model. Prince William has served several terms in Afghanistan, and was even promoted to Captain, and this\u00a0adventurer’s watch is a good fit for the extreme conditions of his assignment.<\/p>\n
