Iker Casillas, the former guardian deity of the Spanish national team.

As a club team, he served as captain of Real Madrid, also known as the "Galacticos," and won the league championship as well as the Champions League three times. He also served as captain of the Spanish national team, also known as the "Invincible Armada," and contributed to winning big titles such as the Euro 2008 championship, the 2010 World Cup championship, and the Euro 2012 championship. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the No. 1 Spanish goalkeeper in history.

The watch that Casillas is wearing is

[Patek Philippe] Designed by Gerald Genta, who is also famous for the Nautilus, this model features a unique and rugged case and bracelet. The case is an impressive 5mm thick, making it comfortable to wear. The simple dial color and layout make it suitable for any occasion.

Carles Puyol

Carles Puyol is the epitome of fair play.

He liked to play fair and square, and was a player who was full of a spirit of fair play. The word "gentleman" suited him best. There is a famous episode that clearly shows this, when Puyol was hit by an opposing player during a game, he didn't get angry at all, but instead calmed down the teammate who was about to start a fight. I don't think there will ever be a player like him again.

The combination of the rounded octagonal SS (stainless steel) case and tropical band makes the "Ref. 5167A-001" sporty yet luxurious. The case diameter is 40.8mm, which is a little large for Japanese people, but the tropical band makes it fit the wrist and easy to use. Another point is that the design uses black all over, so it can be used both on and off. The tropical band is sweat-resistant, so it's the perfect watch for the upcoming hot season!

Fernando Torres

Fernando Torres is Spain's top speedster.

He is known for his speed, which leaves opponents behind in an instant, and his overwhelming physical strength, which is unbeatable, and he was often said to be "impossible to stop." When Torres was first selected for the national team in 2003, the Spanish national team was a strong country, but they had not achieved any results in prestigious tournaments and were mocked as the "crownless fleet." However, after establishing himself on the national team, he led the Spanish national team to three consecutive victories in global tournaments, winning Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup, and Euro 2012, leading them to become the "invincible fleet," and he continues to be praised as the most important player in the team. He also played for Sagan Tosu in the J-League for about a year, so he is probably one of the soccer players familiar to Japanese people.

The design is based on bold black and vibrant yellow, with red accents, giving it a luxurious yet sporty look. The bezel is made of scratch-resistant Cerachrom, and the bracelet is made of durable Oysterflex, so it can be used for a long time. With its eye-catching design and easy-to-use specifications, it's perfect for a summer outfit.
