Whether or not Mo Salah can attest to it, there appear to be a few essential luxury items that are considered essential for youthful football players to possess upon signing their initial professional contract: A small monogrammed leather laundry bag, an item of distressed Amiri, a pair of enormous trainers, and an incredibly fast automobile. Extremely quickly, in fact; something distressed from Balenciaga and, of course, the annual salary of a brain physician or average TikTok star slapped on your wrist.
Although certain footballers, such as a certain Mo Salah, may be tempted to begin a collection with the most ostentatious watch imaginable, he takes an unexpectedly discerning approach to his timepieces. Although they are still visually appealing, the Liverpool star’s watches prioritize performance over flashiness, despite his modest profile off the field.
The watch collection of Salah is detailed in the following section, beginning with award-winning APs and progressing to the most intricate complications in fine watchmaking.
Freak Lab by Ulysse Nardin in 18k white gold
Notwithstanding being compelled to limp off in the initial half, Mo Salah managed to commemorate his inaugural FA Cup triumph with Liverpool. A winner’s grin adorning his face and a hand around that renowned old trophy, he elected for that crucial wrist shot the Ulysse Nardin Freak Lab in 18k white gold (Reference: 2100-138, which is obviously vital).
“Laboratory on the wrist” in the words of the brand, the Freak Lab is a tourbillon with an exquisite appearance, one of only 99 pieces in its kind, renowned for its performance and highly technical design. A 45mm white gold case with an alligator strap and a signature 7-day soaring carrousel that orbits on its axis on the dial. The Freak, which debuted in 2001 and has since become a cult favorite, was the first timepiece to feature silicium (silicon) technology, which presumably sealed the deal for Mo.

As it turns out, there are a few advantages to being the greatest footballer in the Premier League. As Salah arrives to receive the Football Writers Player of the Year award, an exceptional AP Royal Oak Offshore can be observed adorning his wrist. It is indeed a one-of-a-kind creation designed specifically for Mohamed Salah, Jurgen Klopp, and the rest of the squad to commemorate their Premier League victory in 2020. Isn’t that something truly remarkable?
The Offshore, introduced in 1993, was an even more athletic rendition of AP’s renowned Royal Oak. It featured an expanded 42mm case and a scrupulously crafted “MÉGA-TAPISSERIE” dial, which is essentially a house signature textured finish.

RDDBEX0747 Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Skeleton
This child is quite substantial. A massive 45mm titanium case that is water-resistant to a depth of 50 meters encases the Spider Pirelli-Skeleton, which is propelled by a micro rotor and features a star-shaped bridge and an intricate exposed movement crafted in Geneva. It is, in essence, one of the most intricate automatic mechanisms in the history of watchmaking. As perhaps anticipated, the watch’s strap is adorned with rubber inlay procured from authentic competitions where championship-winning tires were utilized. That is… good?
Diode SA’s Denis Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT
After a relatively routine dismissal of Tottenham and a miraculous comeback against Barcelona (“corner taken quickly to ORIIGISBbvvsgsxa22gqaavsvzz!!!” is permanently burned in my mind), Salah celebrated his inaugural Champions League appearance by donning one of his favorite pieces. The Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, a highly regarded timepiece from AP’s signature sports line, has garnered him numerous sightings. Crafted from sand-blasted titanium and black ceramic, it features a renowned octagonal case that allegedly the legendary Gerald Genta conceived overnight after being inspired by the helmets donning deep sea divers. The watch features a 10-day power reserve.

Big Bang Unico Sapphire by Hublot
‘Synthetic sapphire’ is an exceptionally clever (and top-secret) transparent material that literally takes the concept of a skeleton watch to heart. It is used to construct the sapphire Big Bang by Hublot, and it is capable of revealing every working element of the watch from every angle. From the bezel to the case center, every component is fashioned from a single sapphire block that has been meticulously refined into its final form. This special chromo is one of only 500 pieces produced due to a laborious procedure, which is consistent with Salah’s preference for rare and unconventional sports timepieces.
Mo Salah, a striker for Liverpool FC, has been observed donning some remarkably unconventional attire that appears futuristic and avant-garde, as opposed to expensive and durable. Salah was spotted accessorizing his Liverpool shirt with an Ulysse Nardin watch from the manufacturer’s Freak collection, whose strapline is “Laboratory on the wrist,” during a promotional session last year. The scientific aspect: the Freak is propelled by a “anchor escapement” consisting of microblades and nickel mass elements that utilize air friction to stabilize the movement’s motion. Although I, too, am uncertain of its meaning, I adore how Salah’s selection demonstrates his free-spirited sense of style.

Additionally, he possesses an Urwerk-105 CT Streamliner, which demonstrates that Salah is more interested in timepieces for their engineering and design value than to brag about it to his teammates. Drawing inspiration from the art deco skyscrapers of New York, the Streamliner is devoid of a dial in and of itself. On the octagonal case, one proceeds to observe the interior workings of the “wandering hours” mechanism by sliding open a catch. The designers state, “When it is closed, it appears austere, with only the time indication visible.” “Upon opening the protective covering, one is immersed in a metallic environment characterized by its remarkable efficiency.”
