Each year, Wimbledon offers more than just flawless tennis and strawberries & cream—it also delivers a veritable style showcase from its A-list attendees. The 2025 edition was no exception. Among the sun-dappled lawns and elegant dress codes, the most subtle but striking status symbols were on the wrists of celebrities. This year’s most notable watches combined stealth luxury, cutting-edge mechanics, vintage allure, and iconic elegance. Here are five standout timepieces worn by stars that stole the limelight as effortlessly as any ace down the line.
Roger Federer – Rolex Land-Dweller 40
First up is none other than tennis royalty himself, Roger Federer, who arrived in the Royal Box wearing Rolex’s newest release: the Land-Dweller 40 in white Rolesor. This modern classic features a 40mm case with a fluted white gold bezel, matched with a “Flat Jubilee” integrated bracelet—Rolex’s first fully integrated bracelet design in years. The crisp white honeycomb dial looked razor-sharp against Federer’s tailored summer suit, while the Calibre 7135 movement inside marks a significant leap forward, thanks to its innovative Dynapulse escapement. With a retail price hovering around $50,000, this new reference (127334) solidifies Rolex’s pivot into sport-chic territory, and Federer—ever the brand ambassador—was the perfect person to debut it.
Lily Collins – Panthère de Cartier
Sitting a few rows away, Lily Collins exuded French elegance in the Cartier Panthère de Cartier, small model, rendered entirely in 18k yellow gold. The iconic design, reference WJPN0009, balances timeless style and graceful engineering. Its small square case and signature brick-link bracelet are pure Cartier—subtle, ladylike, and endlessly versatile. Powered by a no-fuss quartz movement, it’s ideal for occasions like Wimbledon, where elegance outweighs complexity. Priced at around $28,000, it’s a golden reminder that less is often more.
Andrew Garfield – Omega De Ville Trésor
Andrew Garfield took a more classic route with the Omega De Ville Trésor in stainless steel, reference 435.13.40.21.02.001. This 40mm watch boasts a domed opaline dial and sits on a burgundy leather strap that adds just the right amount of warmth to his crisp ensemble. With a manually wound Master Chronometer calibre 9906 inside, this piece blends the beauty of traditional watchmaking with modern precision. At approximately $7,000, it’s one of the more accessible luxury watches spotted—but no less stylish. Garfield’s understated pick reflected his gentlemanly presence and affinity for refined details.
John Cena – Rolex Explorer II “Polar”
On the other end of the spectrum, John Cena sported a rugged Rolex Explorer II “Polar” (Ref. 226570). This steel tool watch, with its white dial and punchy orange GMT hand, added a tough edge to his otherwise polished look. At 42mm, it’s a sizeable, sporty piece built for exploration—and Cena wore it with the confident attitude it deserves. Priced around $12,000, it’s a reminder that durability and luxury don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Nick Jonas – Rolex Day-Date
Last but far from least, Nick Jonas served vintage wrist envy with his Rolex Day-Date (Ref. 18038) in yellow gold, complete with a blue vignette dial and diamond indices. This ’70s-era gem featured the iconic President bracelet and a fluted bezel, making it as much a power piece as a fashion statement. With a price hovering around $30,000 depending on condition, this watch is the kind of vintage that sings with personality and prestige. Jonas wore it like a seasoned collector who knows exactly what he’s doing.
