The Watches of Tennis Prodigy Carlos Alcaraz

At just 20 years old, Spanish tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz has taken the sport by storm with his impressive skills and undeniable talent. But it’s not just his tennis prowess that has caught our attention – it’s his exquisite taste in timepieces. Check out the watches of US Open and Wimbledon champ, Carlos Alcaraz.

Rolex Daytona Ceramic Black Dial 116500LN

Carlos won his first career Grand Slam at the 2022 US Open after beating Norway’s Casper Ruud in a four-set match. As he celebrated with his championship statuette, the athlete was seen sporting one of Rolex’s most iconic offerings – the Daytona.

Carlos has the ref 116500 from 2016, the first steel Daytona to include a ceramic bezel. Its exteriors are complemented by a black dial with a trio of silver-outlined registers, while the red Daytona text adds a subtle flare of color. Under the hood runs the Caliber 4130, which promises a 72-hour power reserve and accuracy of +2/-2 seconds. Photo from Carlos Alcaraz on Instagram

Rolex Daytona Meteorite Yellow Gold 116518LN

The tennis star is a huge Rolex guy, with a few of the brand’s heavy hitters in his growing collection. The watch Carlos wears the most is the rare and otherworldly ref 116518LN. This watch has been with him to numerous awards ceremonies and press conferences.

Introduced in 2021, the ref 116518LN is noted for its meteorite dial with patterns resembling the Moon’s surface. Everything else is classic Daytona: the 40mm yellow gold body and the Caliber 4130 with a 72-hour power reserve. The black bezel and sub-dials create contrast, while the Oysterflex bracelet adds a modern touch. Photos from GQ France on Twitter

Rolex Yacht-Master RLX Titanium

Carlos is also a proud owner of the Yacht-Master, Rolex’s nautical-inspired timepiece. His choice model is the ref 226227 from 2023 with a larger 42mm casing in grade 5 RLX titanium.

Blending luxury and practicality, this watch was originally created in 2021 for famed sailor Ben Ainslie to test on the field. The intense black dial is satin-finished and retains most of its predecessor’s attributes including the applied oversized markers and white printings. Other standout features include a flat sapphire crystal with AR coating, beveled lugs that bring more dynamism to the body, and an Oyster bracelet with matte sides and links. Photos from Fundación Toro Lidia on Twitter
