In this 39th installment, we will be taking a closer look at the watches worn by Dortmund players . What kind of watches are they wearing?
So let's kick off right away!
Marco Reus

Marco Reus, the face of Dortmund.
He has the dribbling ability to cut through defenders using his acceleration, the shooting sense to score with a powerful shot from mid-range if the opportunity arises, and the wide field of vision to create space and make plays. Looking at his abilities alone, he is one of the indispensable players for the team, and it would not be surprising if he were to become a central player for top clubs such as Real Madrid or Arsenal.
The watch that Reus wears is

This model with a chic two-tone black and blue bezel is one of the most popular models of the GMT Master II, affectionately known as the Batman. This pilot watch, which is equally as popular as the Submariner among Rolex's sports models, features the Jubilee bracelet, which is rarely used in sports models, and not only is it comfortable to wear, but it also gives it a dramatically more luxurious feel.
Reus owns several watches, so I would like to introduce another one to you. The second watch is

"Aquanaut"
"Ref.5167A/001"

The model worn by Reus is thought to be the Aquanaut Ref. 5167A/001 with a vivid red tropical band. We were also able to find a photo of the watch with an orange tropical band, so he probably owns multiple tropical bands and enjoys switching them out depending on his mood and the situation. Enjoying fashion with a wristwatch... Just as you'd expect from the fashionable leader of the soccer world! It really suits him well.
Salif Ezcan (player)

Salif Ezcan leads the team with his overwhelming passing ability.
He has the best soccer sense on the team, and can create decisive chances with a single pass. His passes are like threading a needle, and they never fail to fascinate the viewers. He is also known for his dribbling, which makes use of his momentum, and he can carry the ball deep into the opponent's territory by himself. He is still a young and talented player at only 25 years old, so he is sure to be a key player in the future of Dortmund!

"Daytona"
"Ref.116500LN"

The immensely popular Daytona was designed to meet the needs of professional race car drivers, and even now, more than 60 years after its birth in 1963, it remains unparalleled among sports chronographs. This model is also highly regarded as the best Daytona to date. The bezel has been changed from stainless steel to Cerachrom, which is more corrosion-resistant and scratch-resistant, and has been given a more stylish design.
This popular model, which sparked the social phenomenon known as the " Daytona Marathon ," is extremely unlikely to be available at an authorized store, and is traded at a "premium price" on the second-hand market. However, the price has now (as of the end of January 2023) settled down compared to its peak, so if you've been considering buying one, this might be your chance!
Mats Hummels

Mats Frumens is a player with outstanding physical strength and excellent reading of the game.
He is blessed with a physique that does not get beaten in physical contact, and his reading ability that allows him to reliably take advantage of the opponent's chances is truly amazing. He is also an attractive player with high passing accuracy that allows him to supply vertical passes to the midfield and forwards, and his scoring ability from set pieces that makes use of his 191cm height.

"Monaco BAMFORD"
"Ref.CAW2190.FC6437"

This model, which is the world's first waterproof square case with an automatic movement, has a special meaning for motorsport fans and is named after the F1 circuit. Just as the name "Paul Newman" brings to mind "Daytona," many people will also think of "Monaco" when they hear "Steve McQueen." The watch worn by Hummels is a collaboration model with the famous British custom manufacturer "BAMFORD," a rare model released in 2018 with a limited run of 500 pieces. The combination of the black case and dial with the aqua blue chronograph counters is an eye-catching piece.
Just the other day, we received a new watch in our store, and it was impressive to see all the staff saying, "This is so cool!" It sold out the next day, but it seems that models that all the staff at the watch store think are cool sell out quickly!
Gregor Kobel

Gregor Kobel is a goalkeeper with quick reaction times and long reach.
He is the opposite of the type of goalkeeper who is aggressive in defending the goal, but rather stays close to the goal and defends the goal with stable saves. His reflexes are outstanding, and he makes big saves with movements that are hard to believe for a 194cm tall player, so he is a young guardian who is very exciting to watch in the future.

"Royal Oak Automatic"
"Ref. 15500ST.OO.1220ST.04"

The combination of the silver dial and stainless steel case and bracelet gives this watch an intelligent and calm impression, and the case diameter has been increased from the previous 39mm to 41mm, which is a size larger. The design is characterized by a silver dial with a "Grande Tapisserie" pattern, white gold applied hour markers with luminous coating, and Royal Oak hands. The "AUTOMATIC" marking at 6 o'clock on the dial has been removed, giving it a cleaner look and a more luxurious feel despite being a sports watch, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
