The Super Bowl LX: A Night of Style and Timepiece Excellence
The 60th Super Bowl, held in 2026, was not just a battle of football giants; it was also a showcase of exquisite timepieces. As the Seattle Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots, 29-13, the fashion stakes were equally high. Let's dive into the wristwear that stole the show.
Bad Bunny's Audemars Piguet Moment
Puerto Rican sensation and Grammy winner, Bad Bunny, took center stage during the halftime show, not just with his performance but also with his wrist candy. He sported one of Audemars Piguet's newest Royal Oaks, a 37mm Royal Oak Selfwinding in 18K yellow gold. This model, launched just days before the event, features a malachite stone dial and is powered by the brand's in-house Calibre 5909, offering an impressive 60-hour power reserve. Bad Bunny's choice showcases his trendsetting nature and an eye for detail.
Jalen Hurts: A Legend's Watch Collection
Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback, Jalen Hurts, was introduced as a 'Super Bowl Legend,' but his watch collection might just steal the spotlight. For the pre-game ceremony, he donned a classic Rolex Datejust 41, a combination of Oystersteel and yellow gold. The champagne dial with a sunray finish and the Jubileebracelet made for a stylish statement. The fluted bezel, a signature of Rolex, added a touch of elegance, catching the paparazzi's attention.
Travis Scott's Vintage Choice
Travis Scott, a style icon in his own right, opted for a vintage Seiko C515-5000 Calculator watch. Produced between 1982 and 1989, this watch is a collector's item with a unique 8-digit calculator, alarm, light, and stopwatch functions. Scott's choice reflects a generation that values personal style over price tags. It's a bold statement and a conversation starter.
Jay-Z's Celestial Moment
Jay-Z, known for his extensive timepiece collection, chose a Patek Philippe Celestial Grand Complications for the star-studded event. This 44mm platinum watch is a masterpiece, displaying a live sky chart of the stars, the Moon's phase, and its orbit. The visible sky is framed by an ellipse on the crystal, with a central hand indicating the date. It's a watch that tells time and narrates a celestial story.
Tom Brady's Love for Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet updated its Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar with a full ceramic case and bracelet, echoing the original 1972 dial tone. Horological connoisseur Tom Brady was spotted wearing this updated version, a 41mm timepiece with a 'Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50' ceramic finish. Powered by the new Calibre 7138, this watch offers a lightweight, scratch-resistant, and monochrome take on AP's flagship complication.
Christian Gonzalez's Breitling Moment
The pre-game tunnel walk is a fashionista's dream, and Christian Gonzalez, cornerback for the New England Patriots, made the most of it. He sported a Breitling Super Chronomat B01, upgraded in 18K red gold and fitted with the signature Rouleaux bracelet. The dial, with rose gold-tone hands, baton markers, and three chronograph sub-dials, made for a stylish statement.
Roger Federer and the Rolex Land-Dweller
Roger Federer, an ambassador for Rolex, has been making waves in the watch industry. The launch of the Rolex Land-Dweller at last year's Watches and Wonders was met with unanimous praise for its mechanics, dial treatment, and the revival of the Oysterquartz case in 40mm and 36mm sizes. The integrated bracelet is a unique feature, and it has everyone wondering what Rolex has in store for this year's event.
