The Spa-Francorchamps paddock is one of the biggest on the Formula 1 calendar, but that didn’t stop people from dressing to impress. From rare Richard Milles to elegant Patek Philippes, there were plenty of incredible timepieces on display. Here are a few that caught Kym’s eye during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend.
This Rolex Day-Date 40 is 18K yellow gold with diamond hour markers. Known for its prestige, high-quality engineering and innovations, Swiss watchmaker, Rolex, is the world’s most famous luxury watch brand.
This Alain Silberstein Krono Bauhaus watch was a clear stand out from the weekend. The bold colours of the hands and vibrant geometric shapes are hallmark of the iconic Bauhaus style.
It’s hard to miss the sparkle of this Rolex Datejust 31. Crafted from Oystersteel and Everose gold, it features a diamond-set bezel and a striking dark dial, highlighted by a diamond-studded Roman numeral VI.
Rolex’s were a popular watch choice among fans, team personnel, and media in Spa. This Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea watch features a custom coating to keep it water resistant for depths up to 3,900 metres.
This IWC Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 is inspired by the Year of the Snake. It features a rich burgundy color with a moon phase display at 12 o’clock. Released in celebration of the Lunar New Year, it also has a special gold-plated oscillating mass shaped like a snake on the back.
This Swatch Neon Emerald Chrono watch would have been one of the slightly more affordable watches in the paddock. Inspired by the neon colours of the 80’s, this watch has a glow-in-the-dark effect that made it hard to miss.
This Tissot Supersport Chrono watch is especially popular among sports enthusiasts as it was originally designed with Rugby in mind. Tissot stated that the geometry of the robust case was created to evoke the physical prowess, sharp lines, and resilience needed on a rugby pitch.
