Watches of the Three Lions

England announced themselves as serious contenders for the World Cup with a stunning 4-2 opening victory over Croatia.

Thomas Tuchel’s side were excellent going forward, with skipper Harry Kane (twice), Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford all on the scoresheet.

The Three Lions are now aiming to roar their way through the remaining group games against Ghana and Paraguay, before taking charge of the knockout stages.

With the squad firing on all cylinders and a gripped nation fully behind them, excitement is building both on and off the pitch. 

And of course, we’re keen to see what’s on their wrists…

Jordan Pickford – Rolex Daytona, 116523 

The England goalkeeper wears a Rolex Daytona from the early 2000s generation, introduced as part of the updated Daytona line and powered by the in-house Calibre 4130 automatic movement.

The watch is housed in a 40mm Oyster case and features screw-down chronograph pushers alongside a screw-down winding crown, reinforcing its robustness and water resistance.

Configured in Rolesor, it combines stainless steel with 18k yellow gold elements, including an engraved gold tachymeter bezel and matching gold detailing across the Oyster bracelet links.

While different dial configurations exist with varying hour marker styles, all versions retain the Daytona’s signature tri-compax layout, with subdials positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock for chronograph functionality.

Harry Kane – Patek Philippe, Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1R-001

The perfect match for Harry Kane’s adventurous and composed style, this Nautilus watch is crafted in an 18ct rose gold case paired with a matching rose gold bracelet secured by a fold-over clasp, delivering a seamless and luxurious finish throughout.

Its elegant black dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and features gold-applied hour markers coated with luminescence for enhanced visibility in all lighting conditions. 

A refined chronograph layout is integrated into the design, including 60-minute and 12-hour subdials that provide precise timing functionality without disrupting the dial’s clean symmetry.

If you fancy one too, we have one in stock.

Jude Bellingham – Rolex Daytona, 126525LN

His off-catalogue Black Dial 100th Year Le Mans Chronograph combines motorsport inspiration with refined craftsmanship.

Its 40mm Oyster case in rose gold features polished and satin-brushed finishes that create contrast across the profile, while integrated crown guards and a solid caseback reinforce the watch’s durability. 

A screw-down crown and pushers provide water resistance up to 100 meters and ensure reliable chronograph performance.

Declan Rice – Audemars Piguet 26240CE

One of Declan Rice’s favourite watches is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph. Released to mark the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak, Rice’s version – the 26240CE – is designed in black ceramic. 

The watch features the Royal Oak’s signature octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet, and “Grande Tapisserie” dial pattern, combining a sporty appearance with high-end finishing. 

Its chronograph layout adds technical functionality while maintaining the clean symmetry the collection is known for. The use of black ceramic gives the piece a lighter feel on the wrist while also increasing scratch resistance, reinforcing the modern and performance-focused character of the design.

Thomas Tuchel – Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph 

Thomas Tuchel is usually seen wearing a Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph, and this was noted during his time managing Chelsea. 

The watch reflects Tuchel’s understated style, combining a clean and modern design with sporty chronograph functionality. Its lightweight case construction and integrated rubber strap give the piece a sleek and practical feel suited to everyday wear.

The Classic Fusion Chronograph is known for balancing luxury finishing with a more contemporary sports-watch aesthetic. Featuring a polished bezel and applied hour markers, the watch maintains strong readability while keeping a refined appearance. 

Tuchel has regularly been photographed wearing the model on the touchline during Premier League and Champions League matches, making it one of the watches most closely associated with the England manager.
