Hello everyone.
Today, in the second part, we will continue from the last time and bring you 【Watches worn by Real Madrid players Part 2】 ! What kind of watches are they wearing?
So, let's kick off!!!
Forward Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema, Real Madrid's goal scorer, is known for his overwhelming decisiveness and his composure in front of the goal.
At one point, someone replaced the Wikipedia image with an image of "onigiri," and in Japan, some fans, including me, affectionately call it "onigiri." (laughs)
He is the third-highest scoring player in the club's history (309 goals as of March 22, 2022), and with second-placed Raul Gonzalez at 323 goals and first-placed Cristiano Ronaldo at 451, it is said that it is only a matter of time before he breaks Raul's record.
The watch worn by Benzema is:
[Richard Mille]
"RM 055"
The RM 055 is a model of Bubba Watson, a professional golfer famous for his long hits. The skeleton mechanical movement, made as thin as possible, is so beautiful that it is hard to find words other than artistic , and you can feel the high level of technology. The white rubber bracelet may be a reference to the white of Madrid.
Forward Marco Asensio
Marco Asensio, aka the Lefty Monster, is a troubled young star candidate who has yet to fully utilize his high level of skill and has not been able to secure a regular spot at the white tower of Real Madrid.
He certainly has the ability to become a regular player if he were to transfer to another club, but I imagine that Real Madrid fans (including myself) are thinking, "Asensio, you can do better than that! You're not good enough!"...
I just hope that he will quickly secure a regular spot at Real Madrid.
The watch that Asensio wears is
[ Rolex] "Submariner Date"
"Ref.116619LB"
This is the first Submariner solid 18KWG model, and its durability has been increased by enlarging the case lugs, while the watch uses a proprietary blue Parachrom hairspring, which improves magnetic resistance and shock resistance.
He also owns other brands of watches, but through my research I got the impression that he wears the "Ref. 116619LB" especially when he goes to the beach. Matching the blue ocean with the "Ref. 116619LB" is a great sense of style, and not just for soccer! I hope he becomes a regular player soon!!! (lol)
Forward Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale made a shocking transfer from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013 for a then-record transfer fee of 101 million euros . While he was a huge success as one of the BBC (a nickname for Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale), he is also known for his frequent injuries.
The most memorable goal for me is the bicycle kick he scored in the 2018 Champions League final against Liverpool. (*An overhead shot.) The bicycle kick itself is an extremely difficult technique, but to score it in the professional world, let alone in the Champions League final... all I can say is that he has it.
*I think this is one of the most beautiful goals. If you are interested, please search for "Bale Bicycle".
By the way, I remember that Zinedine Zidane, the former manager of Madrid at the time, was "excited and waving his right hand around" right after scoring a goal. (laughs)
The watch worn by Gareth Bale is:
[Rolex] "Daytona"
"Ref.116520"
This Daytona, which was released in 2000 and is equipped with the fully in-house manufactured chronograph movement "Cal. 4130," inherits the design of the previous model "Ref. 16520," but has been brushed up in details such as a change in the layout of the sub-dials and larger indexes due to the change in the movement.
Midfielder Isco
Isco is one of the world's best technicians , recognized by former manager Zinedine Zidane. Although he is a former Spain national team player and a world-class player, he has not been able to take a regular spot this season... This shows the toughness of playing for the world's top soccer club.
Isco is a player who excels at dribbling, and I apologize for using an expression that anyone who plays soccer will understand, but his greatest characteristic is his "smooth dribbling." Unlike Ronaldinho or Neymar, who evade opponents with obvious feints, Isco is good at going against the opponent's center of gravity and the timing of their jump, making it look like he is evading opponents with ease. (Anyone who has played soccer will understand that this is extremely difficult, and I honestly don't know how he manages to confuse opponents so easily with his intentions (lol).)
The watch that Isco wears is
[Audemars Piguet] "Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph" "Ref. 26401RO.OO.A002CA.02"
This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph is a model with a strong presence, with a black dial with a tapestry pattern that gives a strong sense of style to the wrist.
Isco is a world-class player who can wear this model with ease. And he is a handsome man. It's unfair. But more than that, isn't his wife so beautiful? I can't help but look at his wife, not at the watch or at Isco himself. (laughs)
excuse me.
Defender Daniel Carvajal
Daniel Carvajal, also known as "the best right back in Real Madrid's history, " is not only a solid defender, but also produces a large number of assists with his accurate pinpoint crosses, making him a player with high abilities on both offense and defense despite his small stature.
Not only is he strong enough to stand up to players bigger than him, but his great energy also allows him to catch up from behind even if he is overtaken by the opponent...To be honest, I have rarely seen him lose in a one-on-one battle.
The watch worn by Carvajal is:
[Patek Philippe] "Aquanaut Extra Large" 18KRG
"Ref.5167R-001"
Inspired by the Nautilus, the combination of a rounded octagonal 18KRG (rose gold) case and tropical band creates a model that is both sporty and luxurious.
The Aquanaut, which is rapidly gaining popularity as a luxury sports watch, is paired effortlessly with a white knit sweater...am I the only one who thinks that it makes him look like a refined, elite businessman?
summary
How did you like today's game?
The Real Madrid players seem to like watches, and they own many luxury watches. I noticed that there were many stars younger than me, so I decided to work hard and increase the number of watches I own so that I wouldn't lose out! (laughs)
In Photographer Urakabe's column, I plan to write about a wide variety of genres, not just soccer, so I hope you will look forward to it.
Until next week, we'll see you!
See You Next Match!!
