Time Tide Watches spoke to Norqain and found out that the watch found its way onto Wahlberg’s wrist after he saw Wawrinka wearing it during a match. He developed a liking for the style and color of the watch and reached out to the Swiss player to ask about the watch. Since then, he has been seen wearing the watch quite a bit. With the watch being a great fit for athletes, Wahlberg, who is a fitness freak, wears it often.
As per Time Tide, the watch could be appealing because it is 6 times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than Titanium. However, it is more shock-resistant than watches made of these materials. The watch is sold at $5,790, which makes it easily purchasable for both stars. Tennis stars are known for their love of watches, and Wawrinka has jumped on the bandwagon as well.
