Lewis Hamilton has won his seven F1 championships in quite some fashion, and we mean that both figuratively and literally. On the grid, over the years, there have been several challengers to his driving skills, but when it comes to his fashion, there’d hardly be anyone who’d even come close to him.

The Briton has been seen donning clothes from the top premium brands and designers, including Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Fendi. And to complement his high-profile clothing, he has donned complimentary watches, which he can be seen wearing during parties, press conferences, on the grid, and even during presentation ceremonies.

The watch was a tribute to his friend Tom Cruise, who starred in the iconic 1986 movie Top Gun. Lewis Hamilton wore this watch during the presentation ceremony of the United States Grand Prix at Austin, where he registered his highest finish of the year, P2, alongside other races.

Over the past few years, we have spotted some great and valuable watches on the Briton. We have seen him with the IWC “Black Lives Matter” Ceratanium, Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, White Gold Patek Philippe Nautilus, IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Edition Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One, and IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Lewis Hamilton.”

Lewis Hamilton never shies away from flexing his watch collection. Even when he had a tussle with the sporting authority over the rule of not wearing jewelry, he wore three watches to the very next press conference.
