One of the more interesting things about Rolex, as a company, is the fact that they seem to subtly express their worldview by quietly supporting things that they strongly believe in. Their style of sponsorship is never gaudy, but it often plays an important part, especially from a financial standpoint, in the success of the events which they choose to support. As a leading manufacturer of high-quality custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B appreciates Rolex\u2019s constant and unwavering commitment to not only its products but to making the world a better place as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people are unaware of this, but Rolex is very active in the world of tennis sponsorship, and they have been for the last several decades. As a result of this, several prominent tennis players have either had sponsorship deals with Rolex or chosen to wear Rolex watches of their own accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the purposes of this article, we are going to look more closely at the watch collections of two of the greatest players to ever play the game of tennis: Roger Federer and Rafael Nada. The two are known for their fierce rivalry on the court, genuine friendship off of the court, and their impeccable sense of style when it comes to watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Roger Federer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently ranked as the number five tennis player in the world, the shadow of Roger Federer\u2019s game has long loomed over the world of tennis in a way that ensures he will be mentioned among the game\u2019s greats for years to come. He has won 20 men\u2019s Grand Slam titles, a record that he shares with fellow competitor (and compatriot) Rafael Nadal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is known for his philanthropic efforts around the world and was essential in the formation of the Match For Africa series of exhibition matches, which are organized through his Roger Federer Foundation. Conversely, he is also known for being an astute collector of Rolex watches as well, several of which he has worn on the court over the years. He has been a Rolex ambassador for over a decade, and having been born in Switzerland, Rubber B imagines that this must be a great source of pride for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Rolex Watches Does Roger Federer Wear?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arguably, the most famous timepiece in Roger Federer\u2019s collection of Rolex watches is his Rolex Datejust II. He has spoken about the personal importance of the watch to him many times, as he was wearing it in 2009 when he defeated Andy Roddick at Wimbledon. This would allow him to break Pete Sampras\u2019 Grand Slam record and cement himself as one of tennis\u2019s all-time great players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more recent years, he has also been spotted wearing the Rolex Daytona on the tennis court as well. When he does wear the Daytona, it is the 116520 model, which has become a more difficult piece to obtain in recent years.  He is also fond of wearing the Rolex Milgauss timepiece as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
