Soccer-Inspired Watches for FIFA Fans

Spain and Argentina will face off at the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, July 19. Crushing losses for England and France paved the way for this iconic matchup. Argentina enters the match as the defending champion, after taking home the FIFA trophy in Qatar in 2022. Now, four years later, the soccer powerhouse will take on Spain, a team full of young talent.

All eyes will be on the pitch where soccer legend Lionel Messi faces off against Spain’s teen sensation, Lamine Yamal. (In an odd twist of fate, the two have never played each other on the field. However, Messi gave a baby Yamal a bath for a charity calendar 19 years ago. The photographs are all over the internet.)

Whichever team you are rooting for on Sunday, we have curated an exceptional selection of sporty watches to match your country’s kits. Discover luxury on your very own wrist when you wear one of these decadent accessories to support your team. Whether you are attending the final match at MetLife stadium, throwing a party to cheer from home, or heading to your local sports bar, dressing up for the game is a crucial tradition in the world of soccer.

Spain’s national soccer team, famously known as “La Roja,” typically wears a home kit of vibrant red with dark blue and gold accents. They will be wearing this bold and memorable style when they face Argentina on Sunday, hoping to bring home their first FIFA World Cup since 2010. If you are cheering for Yamal, Oyarzabal, Pedri, Rodri, and the rest of the crew, deck yourself out in the colors of La Roja for this ultimate match.

Swiss watch brand Richard Mille is known around the world for its sporty, oversized creations, all of which showcase exceptional technical mastery and innovation. The RM 35-02 is no exception, and it carries a special significance for those with Spanish heritage. This watch was created in collaboration with Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal, otherwise known as the “King of Clay.” Nadal has been a core Richard Mille partner for years and has worked with the brand to create numerous stunning timepieces. This bright-red watch, which is crafted from light yet durable Carbon TPT and paired with a bold red strap, is perfect for emulating the style of La Rojas. The watch evokes the team’s bright crimson kit and is sure to turn heads as you cheer for this young and talented group of men.

For our second watch choice for La Rojas fans, we are leaning in a completely different direction. In every way that the Richard Mille RM 35-02 is bold, sporty, and vibrant, this Rolex Datejust 31 takes a different tack entirely. It embraces subtlety, trading bright crimson TPT for a stunning ombre red dial. It veers away from athleisure, honing a sophisticated presence that is sure to flatter any wrist. With a dial measuring just 31 mm, it is a captivating example of the miniature watch trend that is dominating the horological world right now. This gorgeous Datejust watch marries form and function perfectly, incorporating its trademark date display and cyclops lens seamlessly into the decorative red dial with sparkling diamond hour markers. Diamonds encircle the watch’s bezel as well, giving way to the chic and timeless Presidential bracelet. This is a watch that offers a more subtle nod to your team’s colors, making it wearable for any event.

We would be remiss to write about red watches and not include our own Hue Collection masterpiece. The legendary red ruby watch is crafted from 18K rose gold and is available in two different sizes: 37 mm and 44 mm. These options give you unmatched versatility as you choose the silhouette that best suits your wrist. The rubies themselves are the true piece de resistance of this decadent watch. The vibrant red stones cover the bezel, dial, and bracelet of this captivating piece, catching the light from every angle. The ruby red Hue watch makes an undeniable statement no matter where you wear it. As you cheer for La Rojas, strap on this lucky timepiece around your wrist and cross your fingers that your team will succeed. Countless carats of lucky red rubies never hurt anyone’s chances.

Argentina’s home kit is perhaps one of the most iconic uniforms in professional sports. The light blue and white stripes takes inspiration from Argentina’s national flag, and it has come to be dubbed La Albiceleste, loosely meaning the colors of the sky. FIFA has confirmed that the Argentinian team will be wearing this kit on Sunday, much to the delight of avid fans. Channel your enthusiasm for Messi, Martinez, Alvarez, Romero, and the rest of the gang with white and sky blue accessories for this monumental matchup.

There are few luxury watches that showcase Argentina’s signature blue color better than this captivating Richard Mille timepiece. The RM 028 departs from the sporty brand’s signature tonneau-shaped case style, offering a robust round dial that was designed with deep-sea diving in mind. The skeletonized dial offers the wearer an inside look at the impressive engineering prowess housed within the watch’s case. Whether you are cheering for Argentina or simply enjoying your everyday life, this memorable Richard Mille timepiece is sure to turn heads.

Our signature Iced Collection is known for its decadent diamonds, which add sparkle and glamour to the watch across the bezel, dial, and bracelet. Recently, we gave this collection a sporty twist with our Color in Motion rubber straps, available in seven different colors. Choose from blue, red, pink, orange, yellow, black, and white and match your watch strap to your daily outfit, mood, or sports team of choice. The rubber straps are interchangeable with the diamond bracelet that the watch typically comes with, making it easier than ever to dress your watch up or down for any occasion. As you cheer on Argentina this weekend, switch over to the pale blue rubber strap to channel the power of La Albiceleste.

For diehard Argentina fans, we love the way that this diminutive Patek Philippe Nautilus combines team spirit with endless sophistication and glamour. This 32 mm watch is typically considered a women’s size, but with men’s watch trends leaning smaller and smaller, it can cross the bridge between genders with ease. Crafted from luminous 18K white gold, this timepiece features a gorgeous wave pattern on the azure blue dial. The diamond-set bezel adds an element of prestige and luxury to the watch that renders it an ideal choice for all different types of occasions. The blue textile strap adds even more color, making it perfect for supporting the Argentinian La Albiceleste as they go up against Spain.
