Overwhelmed with Mo Salah ‘King Of Egypt’ Watch Collection
Mo Salah may or may not agree, but there seem to be a few luxury items that are a must-have if you want to make a lot of money as a footballer. I imagine this list is given to every young player when they sign their first real contract: a small leather wash bag with a monogram, something distressed from Amiri, a huge pair of sneakers, and a car that goes so, so fast. Too fast, really. Something worn from Balenciaga, and of course, the annual salary of a brain surgeon or average TikTok star stuck on your wrist.
Some footballers choose the shiniest watch they can find to start a collection, but someone like Mo Salah chooses his watches with a surprising amount of care. The Liverpool star’s watches are flashy on the field but low-key when he’s not playing. There’s still a lot to look at, though.
We’ll go over Salah’s impressive watch collection, which includes some of the most complicated complications in fine watchmaking and APs that have won awards.
Ulysse Nardin Freak Lab 18k white gold
Even though Mo Salah had to limp off in the first half, he was still able to enjoy Liverpool’s first FA Cup win. With his hand on that famous old trophy and the usual winner’s smile on his face, he chose the Ulysse Nardin Freak Lab in 18k white gold (Reference: 2100-138, which is obviously very important) for that crucial wrist shot.
The Freak Lab is a tourbillon with an elegant design for a tourbillon. It is limited to just 99 pieces and is known for its technical design and performance. The brand calls it a “laboratory on the wrist.” The watch has an alligator strap, a 45 mm white gold case, and a 7-day flying carrousel that spins on the dial. Since it came out in 2001, the Freak has been a popular line. It was the first watch to use silicon technology, which must have been the clincher for Mo.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore customised in Liverpool colours
It turns out that being the best football player in the Premier League has its perks. Salah wore a very special AP Royal Oak Offshore when he went to the Football Writers to get his Player of the Year award. We can say for sure that it was made just for Salah, Jurgen Klopp, and the rest of their team to celebrate winning the Premier League in 2020. Isn’t that kind of cool?
When it came out in 1993, the Offshore was an even sportier version of AP’s famous Royal Oak. It had a bigger 42mm case and a MÉGA-TAPISSERIE” dial, which is a nice textured finish on the dial and a house signature.
Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli-Skeleton RDDBEX0747
Now, that’s a big boy. The Spider Pirelli-Skeleton has a big 45mm titanium case that is water-resistant up to 50 meters. It has a very complicated exposed movement made in Geneva with a star-shaped bridge and powered by a micro rotor. It’s basically one of the most complicated automatic movements ever made for a watch. The rubber inlay on the watch’s strap comes from championship-winning tires used in real races. This was done in collaboration with Pirelli, as you might have guessed. Which is… nice?
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT
After their amazing comeback against Barcelona (“corner taken quickly to ORIIGISBbvvsgxa22gqaavsvzz!!! is burned in my brain forever”) and fairly easy win over Tottenham, Salah wore one of his favorite pieces to celebrate winning his first Champions League. The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon is a supercharged version of AP’s signature sports line. It’s made of sand-blasted titanium and black ceramic, has a 10-day power reserve, and has that famous octagonal case that, legend has it, the legendary Gerald Genta designed in a single night after being inspired by the helmets worn by deep sea divers.
Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire
Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang takes the idea of a skeleton watch very literally. It is made of a very clever (and secret) transparent material called “synthetic sapphire,” which lets all the working parts of the watch be seen from any angle. From the middle of the case to the bezel, everything is cut from a single piece of sapphire and then polished into its final shape. This special chromo can only be made in 500 pieces because of how hard it is to make. This fits with Salah’s taste for wild and highly limited sports watches.
Mo Salah, a striker for Liverpool FC, has been seen wearing some very strange clothes that look futuristic and cutting-edge instead of expensive and tough. In a photo shoot for a promotion last year, Salah was seen wearing an Ulysse Nardin watch from the “Laboratory on the wrist” Freak collection with his Liverpool shirt. Here’s the science part: The Freak is powered by a “anchor escapement” made up of a series of nickel mass elements and micro blades that stabilize the movement’s motion through air friction. No, I don’t know what that means either, but I love how Salah’s choice shows that he has a free-spirited style.
Urwerk-105 CT Streamliner
He also has an Urwerk-105 CT Streamliner, which shows that Salah likes watches for their design and engineering and not just to impress his teammates. The Streamliner was made to look like the art deco skyscrapers of New York. It doesn’t even have a dial. Instead, you slide open a catch on the eight-sided case to see how the “wandering hours” mechanism works inside. The designers say, “When it is closed, it looks simple, with only the time showing.” “Take off the protective cover and you’ll find yourself in a cool, efficient metal world.”
