Hello everyone.

This is the sixth installment of our series, and we will be introducing watches worn by Real Madrid players, Part 3. We have already covered this topic twice, but as Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, they also have one of the best numbers of noteworthy players.

Well, I want to get straight to the main story, but first of all, congratulations to the Real Madrid players for winning the Champions League 2021/2022! The dramatic comeback victories in two consecutive games, the quarterfinals and the semifinals! And the way they continued that momentum to win the championship was simply overwhelming. Thank you for the excitement!

Now that I've said what I wanted to say, I'm going to work as a watchmaker. (laughs)

Let's kick off right away!

Midfielder Casemiro

Casemiro is Real Madrid's "crusher" and plays as a defensive midfielder known as the "anchor."

The anchor is an important position that maintains the balance between offense and defense, and Casemiro is an irreplaceable player. As proof of this, in the 2019-2020 season, he played in 46 official matches, with a total playing time of 4,080 minutes ! (68 hours) This is the most playing time on the team, and it can be said that this figure shows that Casemiro is an irreplaceable player.

"Royal Oak Offshore"
"Ref.26470ST.OO.A101CR.01"

Since its first appearance in 1992, the Royal Oak Offshore has continued to inherit its basic design and has become popular. Its designer is the well-known "Gerald Genta" , who has worked on various super popular models. The beautiful red stitching on the crocodile strap, the dial circumference markings, and the chronograph hands are nice accents, creating a well-balanced finish. The crown and push buttons are made of black ceramic, making this a watch that pays attention to detail.

On the wrist of a well-trained top athlete, not only does it have a black Mega Tapisserie dial, but the impressive 42mm case diameter x 14.22mm case thickness give it an overwhelming presence and is the epitome of cool!

Defender Nacho

Nacho is currently Real Madrid's only "one club man" (a player who has always played for one team).

Although he is not particularly prominent among the star players at Real Madrid, he is an all-rounder with one-on-one strength, outstanding speed, and high possession ability. He has been selected for the Spanish national team and is a real talent, but he has not established himself as a starter at Real Madrid. However, he is often used in "crucial" situations, which shows how much trust he has from the manager and the team. Even now at 32 years old, he is still a member of Real Madrid, and there is no doubt that he is one of the indispensable players for the team.

"Daytona"
"Ref.116515LN"

The combination of 18KERG (Everose gold) and Oysterflex gives this watch a luxurious design. It is equipped with the Cal.4130 automatic movement, which has been developed and manufactured in-house and has been used continuously since 2000, and the bezel is made of scratch-resistant Cerachrom. This watch has three great features: excellent fit (comfort when worn), high precision, and practicality that can be used frequently.

This is a model that we handle a lot in our store, but it always sells out immediately after it arrives, which shows how popular it is. The "Daytona" peeking out from Nacho's rolled up shirt sleeves. Simply put, it's cool!!

Midfielder Hazard

Hazard is one of the world's best dribblers , and is known for his low-center-of-gravity dribbling, which he performs with precise ball control.

In the 2018 Russia World Cup match against Brazil, he successfully completed all 10 dribbles, achieving a 100% success rate. It was the first time in history that he had attempted double-digit dribbles with a 100% success rate. Moreover, the opponent was Brazil, a soccer powerhouse, so there is no need to explain his ability.

"Nautilus Chronograph"
"Ref.5980/1AR-001"

Since its birth in 1976, the Nautilus has continued to embody casual elegance. This combination model with chronograph function has a moderate sportiness and is a perfect watch for Hazard. The rose gold adds a touch of elegance, so it is sure to be useful in a variety of situations, regardless of location.

We have handled it twice in our shop, but it is a rare model that is rarely in stock. Even if it is in stock, it is essential to sell it immediately, so you may need some "luck" to buy it (lol).

summary

How did you like today's game?

Following the announcement of their victory in the Champions League 2021/2022, we are pleased to present our third Real Madrid feature. The model that caught my eye the most was the Nautilus Ref. 5980/1AR-001. It is a rare watch that only comes in once a year, so when it arrives, I hope you will come to our store and see it in person.

So, which sportsman's watch will we focus on next time? We hope you'll be excited to find out.

See You Next Match!!
