Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is the player with the world's fastest speed.
According to a French soccer journalist, Mbappe's top speed is 44.7km/h , and his average speed is 36km/h. The world record holder for the 100m, Usain Bolt, has an average speed of 37.5km/h, so Mbappe's speed is a little slower than Bolt's. That's frighteningly fast (lol).
The watch worn by Mbappe is
[Hublot]

"Ref.341.SX.130.RX.114"

This model, the Big Bang, has a gorgeous and luxurious look and became such a hit that it changed the image of Hublot. The case design is multi-layered, and the design skillfully combines different materials such as stainless steel and rubber, making it a wonderful piece. The bezel is studded with 114 diamonds, making it a watch worthy of the world's top player, Mbappe!

Olivier Giroud has an overwhelming presence in front of the goal.
He often scores goals with headers that make the most of his height, but he is also great at post play that makes full use of his physique, and is also very good at using the players around him. That said, his greatest strength is his unrivaled aerial battles = set pieces! He is currently third in the scoring rankings for the 2022 Qatar World Cup (4 goals). We are looking forward to seeing him perform well in the final!
The watch that Giroud wears is

Featuring a traditional two-tone red/blue bezel, this model is equally as popular as the Submariner among Rolex's sports models. Thanks to a proprietary new technology, they have succeeded in expressing the color red, which is difficult to achieve with regular ceramic materials, and by adopting the Jubilee bracelet, which is rarely used in sports models, it is not only comfortable to wear, but also dramatically increases the sense of luxury.
Ousmane Dembele player

Ousmane Dembele is France's talented soccer player.
Dembele's play is a joy to watch, as he leaves opponents behind with his overwhelming dribbling speed and technique. In addition, he has extremely high shooting accuracy and power, and can shoot from outside the penalty area, making him a very troublesome player for opponents.
The watch worn by Dembele is

Along with the brand's Nautilus, this model continues to lead the popularity of luxury sports watches, and is the first Aquanaut model equipped with a chronograph, the Ref. 5968A-001, which was announced at Baselworld in 2018. The orange scale, chronograph hands, and tropical band are eye-catching, and the watch is made entirely of WG (white gold) and uses Superluminova paint, making it highly visible.

Raphael Varane is widely regarded as the best defender in the world.
He excels in defensive ability and demonstrates high performance in all areas, including ball-winning ability, aerial battles, and man-to-man defense. Despite being a large man at 191cm tall, he also possesses top-class speed, making him a fearsome player with no real weaknesses.

The Sky-Dweller is an elegant model made for people who travel the world. It is the first semi- complication model from Rolex to feature an annual calendar that can display two time zones at the same time, and is the only Rolex to feature a "complex mechanism ". The local time is displayed with the traditional hour, minute and second hands, and the home time is displayed on the sub-dial. Each month is displayed in a small window on the outside of the index, allowing you to grasp the month, date and time at a glance, making it an excellent model. It is equipped with the fully in-house movement "Cal.9001", which is the first since the Yacht-Master II, and boasts a power reserve of 72 hours. The 18KYG (yellow gold) fluted bezel and black dial create a luxurious feel, making it a luxurious piece that is typical of Rolex.
