Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to unveil his new watch collection, featuring designs that commemorate his most iconic moments on the football field.
The football-themed watches, created in collaboration with American jewelry and watch brand Jacob & Co, are part of the Jacob & Co x CR7 Epic X collection. The Portugal captain proudly displayed the new timepieces on social media. The watch collection was crafted to embody Cristiano Ronaldo’s personality, featuring a 44mm case and distinctive details that pay tribute to the Portuguese star. Ronaldo announced this collaboration on social media, showcasing the new watches. The designs also include intricate touches, such as a football-shaped barrel cover and an image of Ronaldo himself.
“I’ve always dreamed of having my own watch collection,” Ronaldo wrote. “The ‘Flight of CR7’ and the ‘Heart of CR7’ are inspired by some of my most iconic moments on the pitch. I hope you love them as much as I do.”

The models feature a skeletonized movement with a meticulous design, highlighted by two vertical pillars representing Ronaldo and his CR7 brand. One pillar depicts the player in various poses, while the other displays the CR7 logo alongside his signature. Additionally, the watches include a football-shaped barrel cover and an image of Ronaldo wearing his iconic number 7 jersey, printed in gold on the sapphire crystal case back.
The “Flight of CR7” draws inspiration from Ronaldo’s memorable goal for Real Madrid—a classic header against his former club, Manchester United, during the 2012-13 Champions League Round-of-16 clash. The “Heart of CR7” captures Ronaldo’s iconic celebratory pose following that goal, a stance that has become the logo of the CR7 brand.
The exclusive watches feature Ronaldo’s image and signature on the bridges, along with a “colored sapphire case back displaying a gold-printed image.
“Epic X Flight of CR7 and Epic X Heart of CR7 are a celebration of football hall-of-Famer and acclaimed athlete Cristiano Ronaldo,” Jacob & Co. said.
With only 999 pieces available, this limited-edition range is highly sought after by watch collectors and Ronaldo fans worldwide. However, these exclusive timepieces come with a hefty price tag, ranging from $29,000 to $160,000. These prices pale in comparison to a one-of-a-kind piece reportedly gifted to Ronaldo by Jacob Arabo, a special Twin Turbo Furious Baguette watch valued at an estimated $1.3 million.
