Ma Long (Maryu)

Ma Long is the absolute champion who has achieved the unprecedented feat of winning the World Championships three times in a row.

To date, he has won a total of 25 gold medals in the Olympics, World Championships, and World Cup, making him the "world's strongest" player in both name and reality. He is also the first player in history to achieve a "Daimankan" and the first player in history to achieve it twice. *A "Daimankan" is like a Grand Slam in tennis, and is a title given to those who win the three tournaments of the Olympics, World Championships, and World Cup.

He is currently ranked second in the world, but his strength remains strong. We look forward to seeing him perform well in the next tournament!

The watch that Ma Long wears is

This watch has the same design as the Seamaster worn by James Bond in the movie "No Time to Die," released in October 2021. Its main features are the brown tropical bezel and dial, and the domed sapphire glass, brown luminous paint, and mesh bracelet give it a vintage feel. The case back is engraved with the official number used when issuing watches to the British military, making it a genuine watch. It's a must-have for fans!

But doesn't Ma Long look too cool in the photo? (laughs)

Darko Jorjic (player)

Darko Jorjic, the man who led his country to the Olympics.

Although unknown, she placed second in doubles at the 2013 European Championships, and has steadily improved her skills ever since, and now she is in the team qualifying rounds for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She defeated a higher-ranked player from India, and overthrew the underdog. She is currently ranked 8th in the world, the highest ranking ever for a Slovenian player, but she is still young at 24 years old and is sure to reach even greater heights.

The watch worn by Jordić is

[Rolex]
Submariner
"Ref.126610LN"

The Submariner was developed for true professional divers who work in harsh environments. This is the current model released in 2020. There are two types, date and non-date, but both are very popular, and the black ceramic bezel and black dial give a sharp impression. It is equipped with a new caliber and has a crown mark between "SWISS" and "MADE" at 6 o'clock.

The contrast between Jorjic's white polo shirt and the black Submariner is very refreshing and beautiful!

Masaharu Yoshimura

In addition to his talent, Yoshimura is also one of the table tennis world's greatest mood makers.

Yoshimura received strict instruction from his father, a former table tennis player, from elementary school onwards, and improved remarkably, winning the 2012 All Japan Table Tennis Championships while still a high school student. This is the second time in history that a high school student has won the All Japan Championships, so it goes without saying that he is a very talented player. After that, he teamed up with Ishikawa Kasumi in mixed doubles at the 2017 World Championships and won the championship. However, he was not selected as a member of the team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics...I hope he can overcome this disappointment at the next Olympics.

The watch that Yoshimura is wearing is

【Tag Heuer】
"Aquaracer Professional 300"
"Ref.WBP201C.BA0632"

The Aquaracer Professional 300, announced in 2021, boasts overwhelming water resistance among Tag Heuer watches. It has a screw-down crown and a unidirectional bezel, and the indexes are coated with Superluminova, which dramatically improves visibility compared to previous models. The basic design is similar to the previous model, but minor changes have been made, such as moving the date window from the 3 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock position and increasing the case diameter to 43mm. The movement is equipped with the chronometer-certified "Cal.5" and has a power reserve of 38 hours.

This piece is sure to be useful not only in casual situations but also in business situations, and it matches Yoshimura's refreshing demeanor perfectly!

summary
