Whether Mo Salah can confirm this or not, there seem to be a few luxury goods that young football players are expected to have when they sign their first professional contract: A pair of massive trainers, a really fast car, a small monogrammed leather laundry bag, and an item of distressed Amiri. Incredibly fast, in fact; a ragged Balenciaga item and, naturally, the yearly pay of a neurosurgeon or typical TikTok celebrity 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.
Ulysse Nardin’s Freak Lab in 18k white gold
Even though he had to hobble off during the first half, Mo Salah was still able to celebrate his first FA Cup victory 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. An alligator strap and a distinctive 7-day flying carrousel that revolves around its axis on the dial adorn this 45mm white gold case. The first watch to use silicon (siliconium) technology was the Freak, which made its debut in 2001 and has since become a cult favourite. This probably helped Mo get the job.

It turns out that being the best football player in the Premier League has its benefits. When Salah shows up to pick him the Football Writers Player of the Year trophy, he has an amazing AP Royal Oak Offshore on his wrist. It is indeed a one-of-a-kind creation built particularly for Mohamed Salah, Jurgen Klopp, and the rest of the squad to honour their Premier League victory in 2020. Isn’t that a pretty amazing thing?
Introduced in 1993, the Offshore was an even more athletic version of AP’s well-known Royal Oak. It had a 42mm case that was enlarged and a painstakingly made “MÉGA-TAPISSERIE” dial with a textured surface that is essentially the house signature.

RDDBEX0747 Excalibur Spider Roger Dubuis Pirelli Skeleton
This child is really big. With a star-shaped bridge and an elaborate exposed movement made in Geneva, the Spider Pirelli-Skeleton is a micro-rotor watch housed in a large 45mm titanium case that can withstand water up to 50 meters. Essentially, it is among the most complex automatic mechanisms in the annals of watchmaking. The watch’s strap, as one might expect, is decorated with rubber inlay taken from real competitions where championship-winning tires were used. That’s… well?

Salah celebrated his first Champions League participation by wearing one of his favourite outfits after a relatively easy expulsion of Tottenham and a spectacular comeback against Barcelona (“corner taken quickly to ORIIGISBbvvsgsxa22gqaavsvzz!!!” is permanently seared in my head). He has been spotted multiple times wearing the highly sought-after Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon watch from AP’s exclusive sports collection. Made of black ceramic and sand-blasted titanium, it has a well-known octagonal case that the fabled Gerald Genta supposedly came up with overnight after seeing the helmets worn by deep sea divers. There is a 10-day power reserve on the watch.

Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Sapphire
‘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.
Liverpool FC forward Mo Salah has been spotted wearing some rather unusual clothing that looks more futuristic and avant-garde than pricey and sturdy. During a promotional session last year, Salah was seen wearing an Ulysse Nardin watch from the manufacturer’s Freak collection, which has the strapline “Laboratory on the wrist,” to go with his Liverpool shirt. The scientific part: the movement of the Freak is stabilised by air friction with the use of a “anchor escapement” made up of nickel mass components and microblades. Though I’m not sure what it means either, I love how Salah’s choice embodies his carefree 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.”
