For many professionals, a watch is far more than a luxury accessory; it often marks a significant milestone such as a major race victory, the signing of a new contract, or another important chapter in their lives.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-unit-2\" class=\"ad-unit\"><\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Looking back through cycling history, fascinating timepieces have been part of the sport for decades. Even during the era of Greg LeMond, remarkable watches could be spotted on the wrists of professional cyclists.

It places parts of the watch&#8217;s mechanism in a constantly rotating clockwork cage with the aim of offsetting the effect of gravity. Needless to say, it&#8217;s hugely intricate, which goes some way to explaining why it commands such a premium in the watchmaking world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-3fcc0056-7b93-11f1-8ffb-41107dbbc4c3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">We start with the most expensive watch spotted, worn by Tadej Poga\u010dar. It\u2019s worth noting that UAE Team Emirates became an official partner of Richard Mille in February 2021 on a multi-year deal that continues to this day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Poga\u010dar is also a personal brand ambassador for Richard Mille, beyond the team partnership. He regularly wears the ultra-light RM 67-02 (the same model as Mathieu van der Poel and the one that caused him to bleed profusely from the wrist during Paris-Roubaix) during races, but at this year&#8217;s Tour he got a new model, the so-called \u201cColnago Edition\u201d. This watch is limited to 50 pieces and is worth an estimated $1,000,000.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This new model combines cycling with the highest level of watchmaking artistry. By fusing the aesthetic and technical codes of Richard Mille with the visual cues of the Italian bike brand, the RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago is a new masterpiece to those who appreciate the often divisive aesthetics of Richard Mille watches. In simple terms, the skeletonised construction has been manufactured in such a way that the supports for the movement resemble the tube shapes of a Colnago frame.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fGxG8D3Lun5N52qPyTv3iF.png\" alt=\"Tour de France jersey wearers line up together on the final stage of the 2025 race\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Our Tour de France predictions \u2013 The Cyclingnews team&#8217;s best guesses for how the race will play out<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hD9k4JzNbMdhoiL2ovtfx4.png\" alt=\"2026 Tour de France grand depart tech\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">New helmets from KASK and POC, loads of aero tape hacks, and two new prototype bikes: It&#8217;s time for the 2026 Tour de France Grand D\u00e9part mega tech gallery<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/bJSFVkodwVvGjKmmDG6zKj.jpg\" alt=\"Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Pogacar in the peloton\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">The importance of a Tadej Poga\u010dar gift in the race against Vingegaard for Tour de France supremacy \u2013 Barcelona Grand D\u00e9part GC analysis<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-Cy87mnPIE_G\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-ff535c06-7c3f-11f1-be30-9b576133dbc2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Despite being a brand ambassador for Richard Mille, Poga\u010dar has an extensive collection of watches from other brands that we can see him wearing when not racing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One of them for example is a Rolex Daytona Platinum, with a current approximate market value of $165,000, a watch also spotted on the wrist of Tom Pidcock. Poga\u010dar also owns a Rolex Green Submariner \u201cStarbucks\u201d, estimated to cost $15,000, and was spotted with a black Cartier Santos (around $9,000) recently, perhaps as a nod to Greg LeMond.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-fryE8DGcgHS87NWpkXj35Z-aCL65UspXnG7FqwnwbaYYtVZ142V3ozM\" class=\"slice-container imageGallery-wrapper imageGallery-fryE8DGcgHS87NWpkXj35Z-aCL65UspXnG7FqwnwbaYYtVZ142V3ozM slice-container-imageGallery\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"inline-gallery first-slide-only\">\n<div class=\"inline-gallery__count\">Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->2<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-gallery__arrows show\">\n<div class=\"arrows__arrows-inner\">\n<div data-testid=\"arrow-click-left\" class=\"arrows__left disable\" data-analytics-id=\"gallery-see-more\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"gallery-see-more\"><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"arrow-click-right\" class=\"arrows__right \" data-analytics-id=\"gallery-see-more\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"gallery-see-more\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-gallery__items\">\n<div class=\"react-swipeable-view-container\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UAYUtzjo6KKSjedM6XUDaS.jpg\" alt=\"Mathieu van der poel&apos;s watches\" class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item__description\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ispDKQQR9saL7LJxfkzrKH.jpg\" alt=\"Mathieu van der poel&apos;s watches\" class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item__description\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b651a4-7b9d-11f1-939e-0d90f5aa5f84\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mathieu-van-der-poel-s-richard-mille-67-02-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mathieu van der Poel\u2019s Richard Mille 67-02<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b65212-7b9d-11f1-bff5-2759a62ad8e0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mathieu van der Poel was wearing one of his RM 67-02s at the start of the Tour, a watch we see on his wrist at every race and something that caused quite a stir at last year\u2019s Tour given the price of the model.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Since early 2025, Van der Poel has been an official ambassador for Richard Mille, like Poga\u010dar. The partnership is also showcased on the brand\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One of the key advantages of the RM 67-02 as a watch for cyclists (if one absolutely <em>must<\/em> wear a fabulously expensive watch while riding) is its exceptionally slim profile and ultralight weight. Weighing just around 32 grams, the RM 67-02 is crafted from Carbon TPT\u00ae and titanium. Combined with its highly shock-resistant movement, it is perfectly suited to the demands of professional cycling, whether on the road, over cobblestones, or on rough off-road terrain.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The current market value of the Richard Mille 67-02 varies depending on the specific athlete edition (for example, Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar, or tennis star Alexander Zverev). Standard examples typically trade on the pre-owned market for around \u20ac220,000 to \u20ac320,000, while highly sought-after or limited editions can command upwards of \u20ac450,000.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Richard Mille RM 67-02 regularly worn by Van der Poel is widely estimated to be worth around $300,000 on today\u2019s market, although the exact value depends on the specific configuration and current market demand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"elk-DEhSeW8ILeR\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-e9a41210-7ba9-11f1-a6f5-2986780155a2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Away from Richard Mille, Mathieu van der Poel has also been a passionate watch collector of other brands. His personal collection includes several timepieces from Audemars Piguet, including both the iconic Royal Oak and Royal Oak Chronograph. He also owns a number of Rolex watches, with a particular preference for gold sports models, like his yellow gold GMT-Master II, or the Everose Gold GMT-Master II \u201cRoot Beer\u201d. He also owns a Rolex \u201cSprite\u201d, and the iconic stainless steel Daytona \u201cPanda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Based on the watches he has worn publicly, the estimated value of his private collection is likely in the region of $300,000 to $500,000, although the exact figure is, of course, unknown.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-c2e273f6-7c49-11f1-b4dd-7349acb646d7\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Richard Mille RM 67-02\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\"><\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-DaVoTRSCPy8\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b65280-7b9d-11f1-b738-0db9797d6ada\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jasper-philipsen-s-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-chronograph-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Jasper Philipsen\u2019s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph <\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b652ee-7b9d-11f1-b7b6-13594387eeb5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Philipsen, arguably the second highest-paid rider at Alpecin-Premier Tech, also appears to have developed a strong interest in fine watches.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Unlike some of his fellow professionals, however, Philipsen never wears a watch during races. It is only away from racing &#8211; or before and after a stage &#8211; that he is seen wearing one of his collection.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Over the past few years, he has been seen in a decent variety of options, including a classy Rolex Cosmograph Daytona \u201cPanda\u201d, a Rolex Submariner Date with green bezel, a Tudor Black Bay Chrono, and also a Rolex GMT-Master II \u201cBatman\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ahead of this year\u2019s Tour de France, Philipsen was once again seen with an eye-catching watch. During his arrival at the airport, the Belgian sprinter was photographed by a fan wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph, with a handsome green dial. This is further proof that luxury watches have become a visible part of modern professional cycling culture.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This model currently commands a market value of approximately $60,000 to $70,000 depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-c2e27482-7c49-11f1-bb4c-71cfb3841f7a\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

However, at this year&#8217;s opening event, he wore an understated Tudor on a leather strap. It was a Black Bay Chrono with \u201cPanda\u201c dial. Such Tudor models are estimated to be about $4,000 to $6,000<strong> <\/strong>depending on condition and age.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c66c-7c4e-11f1-b410-e30cfee472bf\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As a Swiss rider from the home of fine watchmaking, it seems appropriate that Mauro Schmid also wears a high-end Swiss timepiece. And what else could it be but a Rolex?<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">During the Tour de France opening event in Barcelona, Schmid was spotted wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master 40 with a platinum blue dial. The watch, which can also come with a slate grey dial with light blue accents, is perhaps the most elegant sports models in Rolex\u2019s current collection, at least in this writer&#8217;s opinion.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 has an official retail price of around $13,200.<strong> <\/strong>On today\u2019s market, however, it is typically valued at approximately $14,000 to $16,000, depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c70c-7c4e-11f1-a394-ddd4b5a52429\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

Plapp\u2019s Tudor Black Bay Chrono \u201cPink\u201d<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b6562c-7b9d-11f1-87a9-75b0dde1f371\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Australian cyclist and big watch lover, Luke Plapp, was spotted wearing an eye-catching number during the Grand D\u00e8part this year, a Tudor Black Bay Chrono \u201cPink\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The watch is one of Tudor\u2019s most distinctive and sought-after modern releases. It was introduced as part of the brand\u2019s collaboration with several high-profile ambassadors, including David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami (who play in pink), and musician Jay Chou.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Although many cycling fans believe the watch was created specifically to celebrate the Giro d\u2019Italia and its iconic pink jersey, this is in fact a misconception. Nevertheless, the model has become particularly popular among professional cyclists and cycling enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">It had an official retail price of approximately $6,350 and is currently estimated to trade on the secondary market for around $6,600 to $9,000 dollars, depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"elk-DI0mlPuoxTn\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-0025a686-7c3e-11f1-bb92-1d34e3518dd2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Luke Plapp has also been spotted in the past with several other timepieces over the years. Among them are an Omega Speedmaster \u201cOlympic Edition\u201d and a Rolex Datejust with the popular \u201cWimbledon\u201d dial, perhaps indicating that Plapp has a penchant for watches with a sporting connection.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The exact value of his watch collection is not easy to determine, as it is unknown how many timepieces he currently owns. However, based on the watches that have been publicly documented, the value of his collection is likely to exceed $50,000.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c84c-7c4e-11f1-9f46-af62b7ce8fda\"

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Australian professional cyclist Ben O\u2019Connor was spotted wearing a Cartier Santos as he rolled onto the TDF podium during the opening presentation. Judging by the bracelet and overall appearance, the watch appears to be an older vintage model rather than a current-production Santos. As a result, the exact reference number cannot be identified with certainty from the available photographs.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">What is clear, however, is that it is a classy Cartier Santos, one of the most iconic luxury sports watches ever produced. Depending on the exact reference and condition, Cartier Santos models of this type are typically valued at between $3,000 and $10,000<strong> <\/strong>on today\u2019s market. With a gold component to the build, they can be significantly higher.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c8e2-7c4e-11f1-82a0-89e4db2c934a\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Cartier Santos\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-retail-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-title-container\">Today&#8217;s best Cartier Santos deals<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-container\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-load-more=\"true\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\" data-type=\"promos\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"promos\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promos-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promos-main\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promo-container\" data-type=\"bundle\" title=\"bundle\">bundle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/products\/e50feb1e4d3c40111267699dc1dbd3d2326d1b1f-100-80.jpg.webp\" alt=\"CARTIER Santos Rondo 30mm Ref...\" title=\"CARTIER Santos Rondo 30mm Ref...\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-product-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"name\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-display-name-container\">Cartier Santos<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/gkvy20z2pmvkzfua-17484228368585-100-80.png.webp\" alt=\"A Retro Tale\" title=\"A Retro Tale\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-logo-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"priceLink\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-price-container\"><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"wasPrice\"> <span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">$3,215<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"retail\"> <span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">$2,733<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>View<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"allDeals\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><span>See all prices<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-description\">We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-DaVqTn9gkB5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil (@josejoaquinrojas)<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b65758-7b9d-11f1-b348-e50e09ad5914\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jose-joaquin-rojas-rolex-submariner-date-hulk-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Jos\u00e9 Joaqu\u00edn Rojas\u2019 Rolex Submariner Date \u201cHulk\u201d<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b657bc-7b9d-11f1-8a5c-119654ded1cd\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As this list is not limited just to active riders, but rather focuses on notable timepieces spotted during the Tour de France opening presentation, Jos\u00e9 Joaqu\u00edn Rojas also deserves a place among the top ten.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The former Spanish professional cyclist, who ended his racing career in 2023 and now serves as a sports director for Movistar, has been a passionate watch enthusiast for many years.

Paul Seixas is a Breitling Chronomat B31 Automatic 40. The model is instantly recognisable thanks to its distinctive stainless-steel Rouleaux bracelet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In July 2026, the Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling officially welcomed the 19-year-old French prodigy into the fold as a brand ambassador.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">At the same time, Breitling unveiled the Top Time B01 Eddy Merckx on 1 July 2026, a special edition created as a tribute to the legendary Belgian cycling icon. With its newly announced partnership with Seixas, Breitling is using the Tour de France peloton to showcase the new models on the wrist of one of cycling\u2019s brightest young talents. Seixas\u2019 watch costs about \u20ac6,400.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868ca18-7c4e-11f1-9ba5-b7a40b0bc807\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Breitling Chronomat

For many professionals, a watch is far more than a luxury accessory; it often marks a significant milestone such as a major race victory, the signing of a new contract, or another important chapter in their lives.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-unit-2\" class=\"ad-unit\"><\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Looking back through cycling history, fascinating timepieces have been part of the sport for decades. Even during the era of Greg LeMond, remarkable watches could be spotted on the wrists of professional cyclists. For example, at the 1990 Tour de France,<strong> <\/strong>LeMond was wearing a Cartier Santos on the final podium and during the time trial.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/YQzwn7uhNbE9iKkJ3uqmCU.png\" alt=\"Tadej Pogacar wearing Richard Mille watch\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Tadej Poga\u010dar has a million dollar Richard Mille watch for the Tour de France, but what are the chances of him actually wearing it?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/u4VzGXiUvmDrkLQefiFX4U.jpg\" alt=\"Jakob S\u00f6derqvist wearing a Casio wristwatch at the finish of 2026 Paris-Roubaix\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Move over Richard Mille &#8211; This $50 Casio watch added a touch of retro style at Paris-Roubaix <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/z7xtiN77VfnV6WCwcRsZVh.jpg\" alt=\"Tadej Pogacar shoulders his bike at the podium ceremony of the 2024 Tour de France\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">How much does a Tour de France bike cost?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Throughout the years, several of the sport\u2019s biggest stars have rewarded their teammates with luxury watches after major victories, too.

It places parts of the watch&#8217;s mechanism in a constantly rotating clockwork cage with the aim of offsetting the effect of gravity. Needless to say, it&#8217;s hugely intricate, which goes some way to explaining why it commands such a premium in the watchmaking world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-3fcc0056-7b93-11f1-8ffb-41107dbbc4c3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">We start with the most expensive watch spotted, worn by Tadej Poga\u010dar. It\u2019s worth noting that UAE Team Emirates became an official partner of Richard Mille in February 2021 on a multi-year deal that continues to this day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Poga\u010dar is also a personal brand ambassador for Richard Mille, beyond the team partnership. He regularly wears the ultra-light RM 67-02 (the same model as Mathieu van der Poel and the one that caused him to bleed profusely from the wrist during Paris-Roubaix) during races, but at this year&#8217;s Tour he got a new model, the so-called \u201cColnago Edition\u201d. This watch is limited to 50 pieces and is worth an estimated $1,000,000.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This new model combines cycling with the highest level of watchmaking artistry. By fusing the aesthetic and technical codes of Richard Mille with the visual cues of the Italian bike brand, the RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago is a new masterpiece to those who appreciate the often divisive aesthetics of Richard Mille watches. In simple terms, the skeletonised construction has been manufactured in such a way that the supports for the movement resemble the tube shapes of a Colnago frame.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fGxG8D3Lun5N52qPyTv3iF.png\" alt=\"Tour de France jersey wearers line up together on the final stage of the 2025 race\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Our Tour de France predictions \u2013 The Cyclingnews team&#8217;s best guesses for how the race will play out<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hD9k4JzNbMdhoiL2ovtfx4.png\" alt=\"2026 Tour de France grand depart tech\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">New helmets from KASK and POC, loads of aero tape hacks, and two new prototype bikes: It&#8217;s time for the 2026 Tour de France Grand D\u00e9part mega tech gallery<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/bJSFVkodwVvGjKmmDG6zKj.jpg\" alt=\"Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Pogacar in the peloton\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">The importance of a Tadej Poga\u010dar gift in the race against Vingegaard for Tour de France supremacy \u2013 Barcelona Grand D\u00e9part GC analysis<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-Cy87mnPIE_G\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-ff535c06-7c3f-11f1-be30-9b576133dbc2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Despite being a brand ambassador for Richard Mille, Poga\u010dar has an extensive collection of watches from other brands that we can see him wearing when not racing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One of them for example is a Rolex Daytona Platinum, with a current approximate market value of $165,000, a watch also spotted on the wrist of Tom Pidcock.

The partnership is also showcased on the brand\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One of the key advantages of the RM 67-02 as a watch for cyclists (if one absolutely <em>must<\/em> wear a fabulously expensive watch while riding) is its exceptionally slim profile and ultralight weight. Weighing just around 32 grams, the RM 67-02 is crafted from Carbon TPT\u00ae and titanium. Combined with its highly shock-resistant movement, it is perfectly suited to the demands of professional cycling, whether on the road, over cobblestones, or on rough off-road terrain.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The current market value of the Richard Mille 67-02 varies depending on the specific athlete edition (for example, Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar, or tennis star Alexander Zverev). Standard examples typically trade on the pre-owned market for around \u20ac220,000 to \u20ac320,000, while highly sought-after or limited editions can command upwards of \u20ac450,000.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Richard Mille RM 67-02 regularly worn by Van der Poel is widely estimated to be worth around $300,000 on today\u2019s market, although the exact value depends on the specific configuration and current market demand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"elk-DEhSeW8ILeR\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-e9a41210-7ba9-11f1-a6f5-2986780155a2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Away from Richard Mille, Mathieu van der Poel has also been a passionate watch collector of other brands. His personal collection includes several timepieces from Audemars Piguet, including both the iconic Royal Oak and Royal Oak Chronograph. He also owns a number of Rolex watches, with a particular preference for gold sports models, like his yellow gold GMT-Master II, or the Everose Gold GMT-Master II \u201cRoot Beer\u201d. He also owns a Rolex \u201cSprite\u201d, and the iconic stainless steel Daytona \u201cPanda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Based on the watches he has worn publicly, the estimated value of his private collection is likely in the region of $300,000 to $500,000, although the exact figure is, of course, unknown.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-c2e273f6-7c49-11f1-b4dd-7349acb646d7\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Richard Mille RM 67-02\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\"><\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-DaVoTRSCPy8\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b65280-7b9d-11f1-b738-0db9797d6ada\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jasper-philipsen-s-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-chronograph-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Jasper Philipsen\u2019s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph <\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b652ee-7b9d-11f1-b7b6-13594387eeb5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Philipsen, arguably the second highest-paid rider at Alpecin-Premier Tech, also appears to have developed a strong interest in fine watches.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Unlike some of his fellow professionals, however, Philipsen never wears a watch during races. It is only away from racing &#8211; or before and after a stage &#8211; that he is seen wearing one of his collection.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Over the past few years, he has been seen in a decent variety of options, including a classy Rolex Cosmograph Daytona \u201cPanda\u201d, a Rolex Submariner Date with green bezel, a Tudor Black Bay Chrono, and also a Rolex GMT-Master II \u201cBatman\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ahead of this year\u2019s Tour de France, Philipsen was once again seen with an eye-catching watch. During his arrival at the airport, the Belgian sprinter was photographed by a fan wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph, with a handsome green dial. This is further proof that luxury watches have become a visible part of modern professional cycling culture.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This model currently commands a market value of approximately $60,000 to $70,000 depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-c2e27482-7c49-11f1-bb4c-71cfb3841f7a\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As a Swiss rider from the home of fine watchmaking, it seems appropriate that Mauro Schmid also wears a high-end Swiss timepiece. And what else could it be but a Rolex?<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">During the Tour de France opening event in Barcelona, Schmid was spotted wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master 40 with a platinum blue dial. The watch, which can also come with a slate grey dial with light blue accents, is perhaps the most elegant sports models in Rolex\u2019s current collection, at least in this writer&#8217;s opinion.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 has an official retail price of around $13,200.<strong> <\/strong>On today\u2019s market, however, it is typically valued at approximately $14,000 to $16,000, depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c70c-7c4e-11f1-a394-ddd4b5a52429\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

Plapp, was spotted wearing an eye-catching number during the Grand D\u00e8part this year, a Tudor Black Bay Chrono \u201cPink\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The watch is one of Tudor\u2019s most distinctive and sought-after modern releases. It was introduced as part of the brand\u2019s collaboration with several high-profile ambassadors, including David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami (who play in pink), and musician Jay Chou.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Although many cycling fans believe the watch was created specifically to celebrate the Giro d\u2019Italia and its iconic pink jersey, this is in fact a misconception. Nevertheless, the model has become particularly popular among professional cyclists and cycling enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">It had an official retail price of approximately $6,350 and is currently estimated to trade on the secondary market for around $6,600 to $9,000 dollars, depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"elk-DI0mlPuoxTn\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-0025a686-7c3e-11f1-bb92-1d34e3518dd2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Luke Plapp has also been spotted in the past with several other timepieces over the years. Among them are an Omega Speedmaster \u201cOlympic Edition\u201d and a Rolex Datejust with the popular \u201cWimbledon\u201d dial, perhaps indicating that Plapp has a penchant for watches with a sporting connection.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The exact value of his watch collection is not easy to determine, as it is unknown how many timepieces he currently owns. However, based on the watches that have been publicly documented, the value of his collection is likely to exceed $50,000.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c84c-7c4e-11f1-9f46-af62b7ce8fda\"

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Australian professional cyclist Ben O\u2019Connor was spotted wearing a Cartier Santos as he rolled onto the TDF podium during the opening presentation. Judging by the bracelet and overall appearance, the watch appears to be an older vintage model rather than a current-production Santos. As a result, the exact reference number cannot be identified with certainty from the available photographs.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">What is clear, however, is that it is a classy Cartier Santos, one of the most iconic luxury sports watches ever produced. Depending on the exact reference and condition, Cartier Santos models of this type are typically valued at between $3,000 and $10,000<strong> <\/strong>on today\u2019s market. With a gold component to the build, they can be significantly higher.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c8e2-7c4e-11f1-82a0-89e4db2c934a\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Cartier Santos\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-retail-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-title-container\">Today&#8217;s best Cartier Santos deals<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-container\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-load-more=\"true\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\" data-type=\"promos\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"promos\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promos-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promos-main\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promo-container\" data-type=\"bundle\" title=\"bundle\">bundle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/products\/e50feb1e4d3c40111267699dc1dbd3d2326d1b1f-100-80.jpg.webp\" alt=\"CARTIER Santos Rondo 30mm Ref...\" title=\"CARTIER Santos Rondo 30mm Ref...\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-product-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"name\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-display-name-container\">Cartier Santos<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/gkvy20z2pmvkzfua-17484228368585-100-80.png.webp\" alt=\"A Retro Tale\" title=\"A Retro Tale\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-logo-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"priceLink\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-price-container\"><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"wasPrice\"> <span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">$3,215<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"retail\"> <span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">$2,733<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>View<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"allDeals\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><span>See all prices<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-description\">We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-DaVqTn9gkB5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil (@josejoaquinrojas)<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b65758-7b9d-11f1-b348-e50e09ad5914\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jose-joaquin-rojas-rolex-submariner-date-hulk-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Jos\u00e9 Joaqu\u00edn Rojas\u2019 Rolex Submariner Date \u201cHulk\u201d<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b657bc-7b9d-11f1-8a5c-119654ded1cd\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As this list is not limited just to active riders, but rather focuses on notable timepieces spotted during the Tour de France opening presentation, Jos\u00e9 Joaqu\u00edn Rojas also deserves a place among the top ten.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The former Spanish professional cyclist, who ended his racing career in 2023 and now serves as a sports director for Movistar, has been a passionate watch enthusiast for many years.

Paul Seixas is a Breitling Chronomat B31 Automatic 40. The model is instantly recognisable thanks to its distinctive stainless-steel Rouleaux bracelet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In July 2026, the Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling officially welcomed the 19-year-old French prodigy into the fold as a brand ambassador.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">At the same time, Breitling unveiled the Top Time B01 Eddy Merckx on 1 July 2026, a special edition created as a tribute to the legendary Belgian cycling icon. With its newly announced partnership with Seixas, Breitling is using the Tour de France peloton to showcase the new models on the wrist of one of cycling\u2019s brightest young talents. Seixas\u2019 watch costs about \u20ac6,400.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868ca18-7c4e-11f1-9ba5-b7a40b0bc807\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Breitling Chronomat

For many professionals, a watch is far more than a luxury accessory; it often marks a significant milestone such as a major race victory, the signing of a new contract, or another important chapter in their lives.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-unit-2\" class=\"ad-unit\"><\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Looking back through cycling history, fascinating timepieces have been part of the sport for decades. Even during the era of Greg LeMond, remarkable watches could be spotted on the wrists of professional cyclists.

It places parts of the watch&#8217;s mechanism in a constantly rotating clockwork cage with the aim of offsetting the effect of gravity. Needless to say, it&#8217;s hugely intricate, which goes some way to explaining why it commands such a premium in the watchmaking world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"elk-3fcc0056-7b93-11f1-8ffb-41107dbbc4c3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">We start with the most expensive watch spotted, worn by Tadej Poga\u010dar. It\u2019s worth noting that UAE Team Emirates became an official partner of Richard Mille in February 2021 on a multi-year deal that continues to this day.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Poga\u010dar is also a personal brand ambassador for Richard Mille, beyond the team partnership. He regularly wears the ultra-light RM 67-02 (the same model as Mathieu van der Poel and the one that caused him to bleed profusely from the wrist during Paris-Roubaix) during races, but at this year&#8217;s Tour he got a new model, the so-called \u201cColnago Edition\u201d. This watch is limited to 50 pieces and is worth an estimated $1,000,000.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This new model combines cycling with the highest level of watchmaking artistry. By fusing the aesthetic and technical codes of Richard Mille with the visual cues of the Italian bike brand, the RM 64-01 Tourbillon Colnago is a new masterpiece to those who appreciate the often divisive aesthetics of Richard Mille watches. In simple terms, the skeletonised construction has been manufactured in such a way that the supports for the movement resemble the tube shapes of a Colnago frame.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fGxG8D3Lun5N52qPyTv3iF.png\" alt=\"Tour de France jersey wearers line up together on the final stage of the 2025 race\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Our Tour de France predictions \u2013 The Cyclingnews team&#8217;s best guesses for how the race will play out<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/hD9k4JzNbMdhoiL2ovtfx4.png\" alt=\"2026 Tour de France grand depart tech\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">New helmets from KASK and POC, loads of aero tape hacks, and two new prototype bikes: It&#8217;s time for the 2026 Tour de France Grand D\u00e9part mega tech gallery<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/bJSFVkodwVvGjKmmDG6zKj.jpg\" alt=\"Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Pogacar in the peloton\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] aspect-square size-[75px] object-cover shrink-0 rounded-lg\"><\/p>\n<p>                        <span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">The importance of a Tadej Poga\u010dar gift in the race against Vingegaard for Tour de France supremacy \u2013 Barcelona Grand D\u00e9part GC analysis<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-Cy87mnPIE_G\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-ff535c06-7c3f-11f1-be30-9b576133dbc2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Despite being a brand ambassador for Richard Mille, Poga\u010dar has an extensive collection of watches from other brands that we can see him wearing when not racing.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One of them for example is a Rolex Daytona Platinum, with a current approximate market value of $165,000, a watch also spotted on the wrist of Tom Pidcock. Poga\u010dar also owns a Rolex Green Submariner \u201cStarbucks\u201d, estimated to cost $15,000, and was spotted with a black Cartier Santos (around $9,000) recently, perhaps as a nod to Greg LeMond.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-imageGallery-fryE8DGcgHS87NWpkXj35Z-aCL65UspXnG7FqwnwbaYYtVZ142V3ozM\" class=\"slice-container imageGallery-wrapper imageGallery-fryE8DGcgHS87NWpkXj35Z-aCL65UspXnG7FqwnwbaYYtVZ142V3ozM slice-container-imageGallery\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"inline-gallery first-slide-only\">\n<div class=\"inline-gallery__count\">Image <!-- -->1<!-- --> of <!-- -->2<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-gallery__arrows show\">\n<div class=\"arrows__arrows-inner\">\n<div data-testid=\"arrow-click-left\" class=\"arrows__left disable\" data-analytics-id=\"gallery-see-more\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"gallery-see-more\"><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"arrow-click-right\" class=\"arrows__right \" data-analytics-id=\"gallery-see-more\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"gallery-see-more\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-gallery__items\">\n<div class=\"react-swipeable-view-container\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"false\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/UAYUtzjo6KKSjedM6XUDaS.jpg\" alt=\"Mathieu van der poel&apos;s watches\" class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item__description\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" data-swipeable=\"true\">\n<div class=\"items__item\">\n<div class=\"item__image-cont\">\n<div class=\"image-cont__image\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ispDKQQR9saL7LJxfkzrKH.jpg\" alt=\"Mathieu van der poel&apos;s watches\" class=\"image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption-credit__figcaption\"><span class=\"caption-credit__credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item__description\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b651a4-7b9d-11f1-939e-0d90f5aa5f84\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mathieu-van-der-poel-s-richard-mille-67-02-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mathieu van der Poel\u2019s Richard Mille 67-02<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b65212-7b9d-11f1-bff5-2759a62ad8e0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Mathieu van der Poel was wearing one of his RM 67-02s at the start of the Tour, a watch we see on his wrist at every race and something that caused quite a stir at last year\u2019s Tour given the price of the model.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Since early 2025, Van der Poel has been an official ambassador for Richard Mille, like Poga\u010dar. The partnership is also showcased on the brand\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">One of the key advantages of the RM 67-02 as a watch for cyclists (if one absolutely <em>must<\/em> wear a fabulously expensive watch while riding) is its exceptionally slim profile and ultralight weight. Weighing just around 32 grams, the RM 67-02 is crafted from Carbon TPT\u00ae and titanium. Combined with its highly shock-resistant movement, it is perfectly suited to the demands of professional cycling, whether on the road, over cobblestones, or on rough off-road terrain.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The current market value of the Richard Mille 67-02 varies depending on the specific athlete edition (for example, Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar, or tennis star Alexander Zverev). Standard examples typically trade on the pre-owned market for around \u20ac220,000 to \u20ac320,000, while highly sought-after or limited editions can command upwards of \u20ac450,000.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Richard Mille RM 67-02 regularly worn by Van der Poel is widely estimated to be worth around $300,000 on today\u2019s market, although the exact value depends on the specific configuration and current market demand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"elk-DEhSeW8ILeR\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-e9a41210-7ba9-11f1-a6f5-2986780155a2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Away from Richard Mille, Mathieu van der Poel has also been a passionate watch collector of other brands. His personal collection includes several timepieces from Audemars Piguet, including both the iconic Royal Oak and Royal Oak Chronograph. He also owns a number of Rolex watches, with a particular preference for gold sports models, like his yellow gold GMT-Master II, or the Everose Gold GMT-Master II \u201cRoot Beer\u201d. He also owns a Rolex \u201cSprite\u201d, and the iconic stainless steel Daytona \u201cPanda\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Based on the watches he has worn publicly, the estimated value of his private collection is likely in the region of $300,000 to $500,000, although the exact figure is, of course, unknown.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-c2e273f6-7c49-11f1-b4dd-7349acb646d7\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Richard Mille RM 67-02\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\"><\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-DaVoTRSCPy8\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b65280-7b9d-11f1-b738-0db9797d6ada\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jasper-philipsen-s-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-chronograph-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Jasper Philipsen\u2019s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph <\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b652ee-7b9d-11f1-b7b6-13594387eeb5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Philipsen, arguably the second highest-paid rider at Alpecin-Premier Tech, also appears to have developed a strong interest in fine watches.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Unlike some of his fellow professionals, however, Philipsen never wears a watch during races. It is only away from racing &#8211; or before and after a stage &#8211; that he is seen wearing one of his collection.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Over the past few years, he has been seen in a decent variety of options, including a classy Rolex Cosmograph Daytona \u201cPanda\u201d, a Rolex Submariner Date with green bezel, a Tudor Black Bay Chrono, and also a Rolex GMT-Master II \u201cBatman\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ahead of this year\u2019s Tour de France, Philipsen was once again seen with an eye-catching watch. During his arrival at the airport, the Belgian sprinter was photographed by a fan wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph, with a handsome green dial. This is further proof that luxury watches have become a visible part of modern professional cycling culture.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">This model currently commands a market value of approximately $60,000 to $70,000 depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-c2e27482-7c49-11f1-bb4c-71cfb3841f7a\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

However, at this year&#8217;s opening event, he wore an understated Tudor on a leather strap. It was a Black Bay Chrono with \u201cPanda\u201c dial. Such Tudor models are estimated to be about $4,000 to $6,000<strong> <\/strong>depending on condition and age.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c66c-7c4e-11f1-b410-e30cfee472bf\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As a Swiss rider from the home of fine watchmaking, it seems appropriate that Mauro Schmid also wears a high-end Swiss timepiece. And what else could it be but a Rolex?<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">During the Tour de France opening event in Barcelona, Schmid was spotted wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master 40 with a platinum blue dial. The watch, which can also come with a slate grey dial with light blue accents, is perhaps the most elegant sports models in Rolex\u2019s current collection, at least in this writer&#8217;s opinion.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 has an official retail price of around $13,200.<strong> <\/strong>On today\u2019s market, however, it is typically valued at approximately $14,000 to $16,000, depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c70c-7c4e-11f1-a394-ddd4b5a52429\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

Plapp\u2019s Tudor Black Bay Chrono \u201cPink\u201d<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b6562c-7b9d-11f1-87a9-75b0dde1f371\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Australian cyclist and big watch lover, Luke Plapp, was spotted wearing an eye-catching number during the Grand D\u00e8part this year, a Tudor Black Bay Chrono \u201cPink\u201d.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The watch is one of Tudor\u2019s most distinctive and sought-after modern releases. It was introduced as part of the brand\u2019s collaboration with several high-profile ambassadors, including David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami (who play in pink), and musician Jay Chou.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Although many cycling fans believe the watch was created specifically to celebrate the Giro d\u2019Italia and its iconic pink jersey, this is in fact a misconception. Nevertheless, the model has become particularly popular among professional cyclists and cycling enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">It had an official retail price of approximately $6,350 and is currently estimated to trade on the secondary market for around $6,600 to $9,000 dollars, depending on its condition and completeness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"elk-DI0mlPuoxTn\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by @procyclists_watches<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-0025a686-7c3e-11f1-bb92-1d34e3518dd2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Luke Plapp has also been spotted in the past with several other timepieces over the years. Among them are an Omega Speedmaster \u201cOlympic Edition\u201d and a Rolex Datejust with the popular \u201cWimbledon\u201d dial, perhaps indicating that Plapp has a penchant for watches with a sporting connection.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The exact value of his watch collection is not easy to determine, as it is unknown how many timepieces he currently owns. However, based on the watches that have been publicly documented, the value of his collection is likely to exceed $50,000.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c84c-7c4e-11f1-9f46-af62b7ce8fda\"

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Australian professional cyclist Ben O\u2019Connor was spotted wearing a Cartier Santos as he rolled onto the TDF podium during the opening presentation. Judging by the bracelet and overall appearance, the watch appears to be an older vintage model rather than a current-production Santos. As a result, the exact reference number cannot be identified with certainty from the available photographs.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">What is clear, however, is that it is a classy Cartier Santos, one of the most iconic luxury sports watches ever produced. Depending on the exact reference and condition, Cartier Santos models of this type are typically valued at between $3,000 and $10,000<strong> <\/strong>on today\u2019s market. With a gold component to the build, they can be significantly higher.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868c8e2-7c4e-11f1-82a0-89e4db2c934a\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Cartier Santos\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-multi-model-review-retail-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-title-container\">Today&#8217;s best Cartier Santos deals<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-container\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-load-more=\"true\" role=\"button\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\" data-type=\"promos\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"promos\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promos-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promos-main\">\n<div class=\"hawk-promo-container\" data-type=\"bundle\" title=\"bundle\">bundle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/products\/e50feb1e4d3c40111267699dc1dbd3d2326d1b1f-100-80.jpg.webp\" alt=\"CARTIER Santos Rondo 30mm Ref...\" title=\"CARTIER Santos Rondo 30mm Ref...\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-product-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"name\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-display-name-container\">Cartier Santos<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/gkvy20z2pmvkzfua-17484228368585-100-80.png.webp\" alt=\"A Retro Tale\" title=\"A Retro Tale\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-logo-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"priceLink\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-price-container\"><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"wasPrice\"> <span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">$3,215<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div><span class=\"hawk-display-price-container\" data-type=\"retail\"> <span class=\"hawk-display-price-price\">$2,733<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>View<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-multimodel-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"allDeals\" data-product-type=\"1000\" data-button-type data-stacked=\"0\"><span>See all prices<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-container\">\n<div class=\"hawk-footer-description\">We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices<\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-powered-by-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure id=\"elk-DaVqTn9gkB5\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\n<div class=\"instagram-embed\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<p>A post shared by Jose Joaquin Rojas Gil (@josejoaquinrojas)<\/p><figcaption><cite><\/p>\n<p>A photo posted by on <\/p>\n<p><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6b65758-7b9d-11f1-b348-e50e09ad5914\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jose-joaquin-rojas-rolex-submariner-date-hulk-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Jos\u00e9 Joaqu\u00edn Rojas\u2019 Rolex Submariner Date \u201cHulk\u201d<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-f6b657bc-7b9d-11f1-8a5c-119654ded1cd\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As this list is not limited just to active riders, but rather focuses on notable timepieces spotted during the Tour de France opening presentation, Jos\u00e9 Joaqu\u00edn Rojas also deserves a place among the top ten.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The former Spanish professional cyclist, who ended his racing career in 2023 and now serves as a sports director for Movistar, has been a passionate watch enthusiast for many years.

Paul Seixas is a Breitling Chronomat B31 Automatic 40. The model is instantly recognisable thanks to its distinctive stainless-steel Rouleaux bracelet.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In July 2026, the Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling officially welcomed the 19-year-old French prodigy into the fold as a brand ambassador.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">At the same time, Breitling unveiled the Top Time B01 Eddy Merckx on 1 July 2026, a special edition created as a tribute to the legendary Belgian cycling icon. With its newly announced partnership with Seixas, Breitling is using the Tour de France peloton to showcase the new models on the wrist of one of cycling\u2019s brightest young talents. Seixas\u2019 watch costs about \u20ac6,400.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-8868ca18-7c4e-11f1-9ba5-b7a40b0bc807\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><\/a><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Breitling Chronomat B31 Automatic 40\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"multimodelreview\" class=\"hawk-root\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/cycling-culture\/luxury-watches-of-the-tour-de-france-the-best-timepieces-weve-seen-from-cyclings-biggest-race\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ZiomMXhFDRZ2voo7MYAiLF-2560-80.jpg&#8221;] 1 How it unfolded: Huge fight among the big GC teams for victory at Barcelona team time trial Grand D\u00e9part 2 The Tour de France\u2019s eleven most marginal gains &#8211; The most comically minuscule upgrades on the world\u2019s fastest bikes 3 New helmets from KASK and POC, loads of aero tape hacks, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-2036881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2036881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2036881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2036881\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2036881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2036881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2036881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
