The pupil of Juan Carlos Ferrero has achieved one of the most coveted chronographs in the world, with a waiting list that goes on for years
The consolidation of Carlos Alcaraz at the world top of tennis this year is beyond dispute. Two Masters 1000, two ATP 500 and substantial victories against rivals like Rafa Nadal or Novak Djokovic support it. However, months before beginning to knock down giants on the court, the tennis player from El Palmar already demonstrated his privileged position on the circuit with an early sponsorship agreement with the Rolex watch firm.
At just 18 years old, the name of Carlos Alcaraz went on to swell a list of ‘testimonials’ in which tennis players such as Garbiñe Muguruza, Stéphanos Tsitsipas, Dominic Thiem or Alexander Zverez are found, in addition to the great face of the Swiss firm: Roger Federer . It is not surprising that after signing the agreement Carlos Alcaraz was “very happy and excited”, as he commented in an Instagram post.
The pupil of Juan Carlos Ferrero, moreover, has not missed this agreement and already in Barcelona and Madrid he could be seen wearing the ‘Cosmograph Daytona’ model, one of Rolex’s flagships, in its steel version with bezel and black dial . A jewel in the world of chronographs valued at 13,800 euros, although it is fair to point out that prices in this line of watches can rise above 40,000 euros.
The historic watch made popular by Paul Newman more than half a century ago is today one of the most coveted models in the world, with a waiting list that goes on for years and a halo of exclusivity that has made it an object of desire for artists like Jay -Z and Ed Sheeran, in addition to the basketball legend Michael Jordan. And it is that the trajectory of this watch is closely related to the world of sports, as its name reveals. The ‘Cosmograph Daytona’ model pays homage to one of the temples of motorsport, as it was designed so that drivers could accurately calculate their times in the race. To do this, this model can measure speeds of up to 400 units per hour, whether kilometers or miles.
In its current version, the architecture of this model has fewer components than a typical watch to make it lighter and not bothersome. In addition, the central seconds hand is accurate to 1/8 second. Within the more than 40 models that make up the ‘Cosmograph Daytona’ line, Rolex offers finishes in steel, pink gold, yellow gold, white gold and platinum.
