Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal show off their Rolex and Richard Mille replica watches during doubles practice
Wear a Rolex for the retired legend and a Richard Mille for his Spanish doubles partner.
Most of us would never dream of wearing our best watch on the tennis court, even for a casual gathering with friends. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have no qualms about it.
For proof, just look at the mens replica watch the two wore as they practiced doubles together ahead of Federer's final professional match this week. The Swiss legend wears a Rolex, while the Spaniard wears his signature Richard Mille watch.
The watch that really caught our attention was the one on Federer's wrist. That's because he's wearing a new Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II with a green and black integrated Cerachrom bezel (collectors have come to call this combination "Sprite"). Like all GMT-Master IIs, it is eye-catching, but what makes this model special is that its crown and crown guard are located on the left side of the Oystersteel case, making it more comfortable for left-handers to wear.
Federer is right-handed, so it might seem odd to wear a left-handed model, but, as GQ points out, the crown is positioned away from his hand, ensuring it doesn't dig into his wrist during giant swings.

Nadal, who has won 22 Grand Slam titles in his active career, also wears a striking watch in training. He is actually left-handed and wears the latest version of the RM 27-04 on his wrist. The watch has a suspension made of a steel cable that runs through the case, making it look like a tennis racket.
Of course, Nadal is no stranger to wearing expensive timepieces on the court. He has been wearing his Richard Milles during games for years. Federer is another matter, and he usually opts for a traditional wristband during matches. Trophy presentations and other extravaganzas are another story, though.Jacob and Co Astronomia DRAGON
