The 2025 US Open wasn’t just about thunderous serves, marathon rallies, and history-making victories. It was also a stage where luxury watches shared the spotlight with world-class athletes, becoming silent witnesses to moments of glory. From Rolex icons to avant-garde masterpieces, timepieces at this year’s tournament reflected not only precision and craftsmanship but also the personalities of the players wearing them.

No brand made a bigger statement at the 2025 US Open than Rolex. The Swiss powerhouse has long been associated with tennis legends, and this year’s tournament once again cemented its place at center stage. From championship victories to post-match celebrations, Rolex models were everywhere, symbolizing precision and endurance.

The champion of the 2025 US Open, Carlos Alcaraz, made headlines both on and off the court. On his wrist was the 18k yellow-gold Rolex Daytona with a turquoise dial and Oysterflex bracelet. It perfectly symbolized his vibrant energy and unstoppable dominance. Rolex, once again, proved why it remains synonymous with tennis greatness.

What makes the turquoise-dial Daytona especially rare is its limited production run and high demand among collectors. Nicknamed the “Alcaraz Daytona” by fans after his 2025 US Open triumph, it blends Rolex’s legacy of endurance with a youthful, modern twist.

Runner-up Jannik Sinner went for understated elegance. His Sundust Daytona, valued near $40,000, mirrored his calm and collected demeanor under pressure. Earlier in the tournament, he sported the GMT-Master II “Root Beer”, showing versatility in both gameplay and style.

But earlier in the 2025 US Open tournament, Sinner switched things up with the Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer”. This model, distinguished by its black and brown Cerachrom bezel and Everose gold accents, has become one of Rolex’s most coveted two-tone sports watches. Originally designed for pilots, the GMT-Master II features a 24-hour hand and dual-time functionality—perfect for athletes and jet-setters who constantly travel the globe.

Sinner’s alternating between the Daytona and the GMT-Master II shows not just versatility in his watch collection, but also reflects his dual qualities as a player: calm precision under pressure and global appeal beyond the court.
