Celebrity Watch Hunting is a series of columns that takes a snapshot of what kind of watches celebrities around the world are wearing. This time, we will be looking at the Rolex worn by Swiss tennis player Roger Federer, who has recently announced his retirement from tennis.

Roger Federer, the tennis superstar who has achieved many great things

　Swiss tennis player Roger Federer announced his retirement on September 29, 2022. He achieved the remarkable feat of winning 20 Grand Slam titles in men's tennis, and is known not only to tennis fans.

　Now 41, Federer remains a tennis superstar even after his retirement. He has won 20 Grand Slam titles, including six Australian Opens, one French Open, eight Wimbledons, and five US Opens. He has also held the world number one ranking in men's singles for a total of 310 weeks.

　Even if you're not a tennis fan, you can see just how impressive this achievement is. Not only Rolex, but Uniqlo Co., Ltd. has also partnered with Federer, and plans are in place for him to visit Japan for an event after his retirement. An event titled "UNIQLO LifeWear Day Tokyo 2022 with Roger Federer" will be held at Tokyo's Ariake Coliseum on November 19, 2022. Federer will be joined by professional wheelchair tennis player Shingo Kunieda and Kei Nishikori, making it a spectacular event for tennis fans. The event will be held to honor Federer's achievements after his retirement and to pass on his legacy to the next generation.

　Federer has decided to retire due to recent knee injuries, but he has expressed his desire to continue being involved in tennis. The Ariake event will also feature a tennis session between Federer and Kunieda for elementary school children in grades 1-4. This is your chance to see the tennis player known as a god in action.

Roger Federer wears a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller

　In photos of Roger Federer when he won his 20th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in Melbourne in 2018, he was seen wearing a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller.

　The Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, released in 2012, features an annual calendar, a GMT function that displays a second time zone on a rotating disc on the dial, and Rolex's innovative rotating Ring Command bezel. It belongs to the dress watch line rather than a Rolex sports model. It is a fitting watch for tennis players, who are known for their elegant style, especially for athletes who travel the world. The stainless steel and white gold fluted bezel combination model (White Rolesor) worn by Federer is a relatively new model released in 2017, combining captivating brilliance with robustness, and combined with the blue dial, it exudes a luxurious freshness.

　As a Swiss athlete with a long-term contract with Rolex, Federer will likely continue to be a "sky dweller" spreading the joy of tennis to the world.
