Check Out Kelly Slater’s Signature $5,050 Luxury Watch

Folks go crazy for watches.

Whether it’s a statement piece, accentuating an outfit for a night on the town, or a functional timepiece, calculating time spent or BPM or calories burnt during a workout.

People dig ‘em; and apparently Kelly Slater does, too.

In a new collab with watch brand, Breitling, a handful of surfers have teamed up to create their own signature models. And not just Slater; Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons have joined Breitling’s “Surf Squad” as well, with their own namesake timepieces.

The price tag for Slater’s signature watch? $5,050.

In a description of Slater and the watch, Breitling writes:

“Kelly Slater is an 11-time World Surf League champion and widely regarded as the greatest professional surfer of all time. He’s a frequent collaborator with Breitling, including on the Superocean Automatic 42 Kelly Slater limited edition, as well as on our line of ECONYL® straps, upcycled from plastic waste recovered from the world’s oceans and co-created with Slater’s sustainable clothing brand, Outerknown.”

Sally’s watch? $5,000. Steph’s? $4,950.

In other surfing/watch related news, an Aussie surfer found a rare Rolex recently while diving. “It smelt pretty bad and had some major corrosion to the bezel but the second hand was still moving,” said Matt Cuddihy, who found the watch at Noosa, Australia.

Then, later, through the power of social media, the watch was returned to its original owner, which he had owned and cherished since 1971. “It’s all pretty incredible,” the owner said. “There are great people still left in the world.”

Watches…like we said, people go nuts for those things.
