Roger Federer has style — on and off the court.

He recently won his seventh Wimbledon Championship and did so wearing a vintage Rolex Daytona, circa 1981, his birth year.

The Daytona is a very distinctive mechanical chronograph that has been manufactured since the early 1960s. The current models are self-winding.

We have a wide range of newer models, including the two-tone version pictured here. All of the Daytonas are highly collectible and easily recognizable, even though most wearers don’t actually use the three chronographs.

As the name implies, it was designed for race car drivers. With Federer’s speed and right-handed one-handed backhand, it makes perfect sense.

As huge (okay, obsessive) fans of Hypebeast, we stumbled across their recent guide to buying pre-owned Rolex watches. Man or woman, we love an everyday classic watch such as this Rolex Submariner 14060.

Here’s what Hypebeast had to say:

“Featuring a large 40mm case, the no-date version boasts a simple face and is water resistant up to 300 meters. As you’d assume, the Submariner is intended to be a divers watch thanks to its extreme resilience against the elements. The Submariner watch face is arguably the most recognized and replicated watch designs in the world.”

Classic, sporty and authentic. We say, it’s time for a plunge.

Naming a watch after the slowest animal in the world? Cartier was not afraid.

In 1912, the watchmaker introduced the Tortue. Translation: Tortoise. This 18k gold Tortue really seems to play off of the creature’s sleek shell. It’s rounded elegance has really endured in the century since it debuted. (Insert your favorite “stands the test of time” cliche here.)

Initially created for women, it would make for a great Mother’s Day present for a mom who keeps everyone on time — stylishly.
