Erling Braut Haaland’s transition to the English Premier League marked one of the most tҺrilling transfers in recent years. The excitement reached its peak as he clinched the EPL title in his debut season. However, equally captivating is the array of luxurious timepieces the young Norwegian, swiftly ascending the ranks to become one of the world’s finest football players, is acquiring with his substantial new salary.
In essence, Haaland is not only an exceptionally skilled player but also possesses a refined taste in watches. Despite his youth, he has already curated an impressive collection of watches, characterized by both quality and quantity. Here are some highlights from Erling Haaland’s remarkable Rolex collection.
Rolex ‘Starbucks’
The highly acclaimed Norwegian footballer, recognized as one of the world’s most talented players, shared a photo showcasing the Rolex Submariner Kermit, alternatively known as the Starbucks model. The timepiece features a stainless steel construction with a distinctive green ceramic bezel adorning his wrist. This particular model, introduced in 2020, serves as a successor to the Hulk and boasts a revamped 41mm case design.
Rolex Hulk
The Rolex ‘Hulk,’ officially known as the Rolex Submariner Hulk 11610LV, made its debut in 2010 following the discontinuation of the Kermit model. Notable improvements included a green ceramic bezel with platinum inlays. After a decade, Rolex ceased production of this reference, leading to a surge in its market value on the grey market. Despite market fluctuations since April 2022, the Hulk’s price has remained three times its original retail value, currently trading at $28,000. Its resilience in the market can be attributed to its status as a discontinued reference with a limited ‘free float.’
Rolex Smurf
Moving on to the Rolex ‘Smurf,’ crafted in 18k white gold, its enchanting blue cerachrom bezel, matching dial, and luminescent hour markers contribute to its captivating beauty.
Rolex Root Bееr
The Rolex ‘Root Bееr,’ introduced in 2018 as the first rose gold GMT-Master II, showcases a blend of sophistication with its 18k rose gold construction, black dial, and cerachrom bezel in a harmonious black and brown combination.
Rolex Daytona green dial
The Rolex Daytona with a green dial, spotted on the wrist of the young Norwegian, gained popularity after its introduction at Basel World 2016. Encased in yellow gold, this watch, affectionately referred to as the ‘John Mayer’ dial, has become one of the most coveted Rolex timepieces.
Rolex Daytona ice blue dial
In another striking choice, the Norwegian sports a platinum Rolex Daytona with an ice blue dial and cerachrom bezel, perfectly complementing his fashion sense. It’s evident that his watch collection reflects a meticulous selection of iconic and aesthetically pleasing timepieces.
Rolex Daytona ‘Eye of the Tiger’
Erling, joining the likes of LeBron James and Neymar Jr., possesses the exceptionally rare Rolex Daytona ‘Eye of the Tiger.’ This 40mm timepiece showcases a unique charm with its diamond-encrusted tiger-print dial, a yellow-gold bezel adorned with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds, and diamond hour markers, excluding the 15, 30, 45, and 60-minute indicators.
Rolex Day-Date ‘President’
Adding to his collection of rose gold watches, Erling owns the timeless Rolex Day-Date ‘President’ (ref. 228345RBR-0009). Renowned as the epitome of classic luxury, the ‘President’ nickname is attributed to the distinctive cylindrical-link bracelet that graces the watch. Haaland’s version of the President exudes opulence, featuring a white diamond-set bezel, a rich chocolate dial, and Roman numerals. It’s a watch that exudes regality, fit for a king or perhaps even an Earl.The Day-Date, exclusively crafted in precious metals, predominantly gold, is available in 26 different languages. Notably, Haaland’s watch, like most Day-Dates, likely features the date spelled out in English, adding a touch of sophistication to this distinguished timepiece.
