Rocking a one-of-one iced out Black Bay Chrono is certainly one way for the newly-knighted football icon to kick off the action at Wimbledon this year

On what was officially the hottest opening day in Wimbledon's history books, David Beckham found a way to ramp up the temperature even more – as only he can. It wasn't his BOSS suit, though no doubt he was absolutely cooking in that. It wasn't his fresh new haircut, either. Best known for his right foot, this time it was his left wrist that was dialling up the heat.

That's right, on a date with this mother, Sandra, he was rocking an iced-out black-dialled Tudor that duly sent the internet into a frenzy and enthusiasts speculating on the model. And thanks to some excellent detective work on the ground in SW19 by Bark and Jack's Adrian Barker, it turns out the blingy ticker is a completely unique, one-of-one piece.

“From what I see on Adrian's IG reel and the pictures from Wimbledon, it looks like Sir David Beckham has been gifted something truly special for his 50th,” says Ross Povey, the founder of Tudor Collector, who is regarded as the world’s leading expert on vintage Tudor watches. “Beckham has been instrumental in Tudor’s global recognition and success as an ambassador, embodying the brand’s bold, stylish spirit. He’s always loved gem-set watches, and let’s be honest – iced-out sports models are hotter than ever right now. While it’s not unusual to see Tudor create special editions for military units or organisations, this watch feels different. It’s on par with the spectacular pieces Tudor has made for Only Watch over the years.”
