Inside Conor McGregor’s HUGE Watch Collection

Conor McGregor is as famous for his flash as he is for his fights. He’s a man who doesn’t do subtle, and his watches prove it—loud, luxurious, and often drenched in diamonds. Each one feels like an extension of his bold, brash, built-to-stand-out personality. He’s also got a clear soft spot for green dials – maybe a quiet nod to his Irish roots. These watches aren’t cheap, but damn, they’re cool.

Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688

The Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116688 is as bold as they come and perfectly at home on Conor McGregor’s wrist. Crafted entirely in yellow gold with a hefty 44mm case, it’s a watch originally designed for regatta racing so it features a unique programmable countdown timer and mechanical memory – tech that’s incredibly niche, unless you happen to own a yacht.

But let’s be honest, McGregor didn’t pick this piece for the sailing specs. He picked it because it pops with its crisp white dial, bold blue bezel, and serious wrist presence. It’s slightly unconventional, even among collectors, but that’s exactly what makes it so “McGregor.” Flashy, complex, and not built for subtlety.

 Rolex Daytona 116508

The Rolex Daytona ref. 116508 in yellow gold with a green dial has become one of the most recognisable modern Daytonas, though that wasn’t always the case. Released in 2016, it took a while to catch on but gained widespread attention after musician John Mayer discussed it in an interview, giving rise to its unofficial nickname, the “John Mayer” Daytona.

McGregor has been spotted wearing this model, which fits neatly into his preference for bold, standout watches, particularly those with green dials. With its 40mm yellow gold case and striking sunburst green dial, the 116508 blends sporty design with a strong visual presence. It was sadly discontinued in 2023, so now it’s become even more desirable among collectors and fans of the Daytona line.

Chopard L.U.C. Quattro Tourbillon

When Conor McGregor showed up to a Chopard dinner in Cannes,  he brought some serious firepower to his wrist. The watch was a Chopard L.U.C Quattro Tourbillon in white gold, fully set with baguette-cut diamonds from case to dial, paired with a black alligator strap.

This one is a limited edition, a rare fusion of haute horlogerie and high jewelry that runs on Chopard’s in-house hand-wound tourbillon movement, the L.U.C 02.01-L, certified chronometer and Geneva Seal approved, with an impressive 216-hour power reserve. With over 300 diamonds totaling more than 27 carats and a retail price north of $260,000, it’s an undeniably extravagant timepiece.

Patek Philippe 5905P

Conor McGregor made a subtle but striking nod to Ireland with one of the most exclusive Patek Philippes ever produced. The watch is the Patek Philippe 5905P Annual Calendar Chronograph in platinum, made in a limited edition of just 25 pieces for Dublin’s Weir & Sons, one of Patek’s oldest retailers.

Released quietly, this reference isn’t even listed on Patek’s official site. It features a platinum case, a vibrant green sunburst dial, and a green alligator strap. It comes with the day, date, and month displayed in apertures, plus a 60-minute chronograph, nicely balancing complexity with elegance.

Patek Philippe World Time 5131J

The Patek Philippe World Time 5131J is a masterpiece of a watch that stands out for its ability to display the time in 24 different time zones at the press of a button, thanks to the sophisticated calibre 240 micro-rotor movement. It also has a breathtaking cloisonné enamel dial, a work of art that maps the world with vibrant colors and intricate details.

Each dial requires painstaking craftsmanship, where the delicate gold wires outlining the continents are bent by hand, and the enamel is applied with precision. Given the complexity, nearly half of these dials don’t make the cut during production.

Rolex Day Date 128348RBR

Conor McGregor’s choice of the Rolex Day-Date 128348RBR during his 34th birthday celebration in Ibiza speaks volumes about his personal style. The 36mm yellow gold case holds a striking green ombré dial, with its subtle gradient adding depth and character. What makes this piece truly stand out are the diamonds though, that are not just in the bezel, but in the hour markers and across the entire bracelet.

Rolex ‘Eye of the Tiger’ 116588TBR

Easily one of McGregor’s most unusual Rolexes, the “Eye of the Tiger” Daytona 116588TBR is a showstopper in every sense. First introduced at Basel World 2019, this timepiece immediately caught the attention of watch collectors and enthusiasts alike for its wild design and exclusivity. Cast in 18K yellow gold, the dial features a striking tiger-stripe pattern, made even more eye-catching with 243 brilliant-cut diamonds scattered across it. Add to that a diamond-set bezel with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds, and you’ve got a watch that is literally unmissable.

Fun fact, the Rolex “Eye of the Tiger” is part of a select group of off-catalogue Rolex pieces, meaning it’s not something you can simply walk into a store and buy. To get your hands on one, you need to be on Rolex’s VIP list, a status McGregor has certainly earned.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1R

Another standout piece in Conor McGregor’s watch collection is the Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1R. Engineered in 18k rose gold, the watch features a bold black dial with the signature horizontal embossing that defines the Nautilus family. The rose gold bezel and hour markers with luminescent coating create a harmonious contrast, giving it a timeless, sophisticated look that stands out without being overly flashy.

McGregor’s love for the Nautilus is clear, as he owns several variations in different metals and dial colors, but this one boasts chronograph functionality helped by a high-performance, self-winding movement.

Philippe Nautilus 5980/1AR

Proof in point that McGregor loves a Nautilus, here’s another one he owns: the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1AR. This version stands out with its striking two-tone design, blending the warmth of yellow gold with the sleekness of steel, paired with a deep blue dial that creates a bold and sophisticated contrast.  

Just like its rose gold counterpart, this piece features the signature horizontally embossed dial, chronograph functionality, a self-winding movement, and water resistance up to 120 meters.

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino

Another brand McGregor loves is Jacob & Co, known for pushing the boundaries with complications, materials, and bold case sizes. One of their most innovative pieces and a watch McGregor owns is the $620,000 Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino. This stunning timepiece features a fully-operational miniature roulette wheel built into the 18K rose gold case, allowing wearers to spin the wheel of fortune at will.

Packed with complexities, the watch includes a double-axis tourbillon, a rotating spherical diamond with the exclusive Jacob Cut, and a lacquered globe. But it’s the roulette wheel that steals the show, spinning beneath the sapphire crystal dome case with green, red, and black enamel inlays, mahogany accents, and a white ceramic ball. Yes, it really is as cool as it sounds.

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette

McGregor’s collection of Jacob & Co. timepieces also includes the jaw-dropping Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette, a watch that takes luxury and horological artistry to new heights. Featuring the intricate Astronomia triple-axis tourbillon movement, this watch showcases a stunning 50mm rose gold case, adorned with 342 baguette-cut diamonds on the dial’s backdrop and 80 more set into the lugs.

The watch’s four-arm movement is a spectacle in itself, with a rotating magnesium earth globe, a faceted diamond moon, and a sub dial that always stays in the proper 12/6 orientation. The design is completed by the sapphire crystal dome, allowing the rotating elements to be fully visible. With a price tag of $1 million USD, this isn’t a watch made for the masses, but people like Conor Mcgregor.

Jacob and Co Epic X Rose Gold

In a picture taken at Jacob & Co.’s flagship store in New York, McGregor can be seen wearing the Epic X in full 18k rose gold with a distinctive green inner ring. This 44mm timepiece is powered by a manual-winding skeletonized movement, offering a full view of its intricate inner workings.

The design of the Epic X is a standout, with the “X” shape visible in both the movement and the case’s lugs. The interconnected vertical bridges of the skeleton movement create a seamless, continuous shape, bringing harmony between the inside and outside of the watch.

Rolex Day Date Anniversary Dial

Another green-dialled watch owned by Conor McGregor is the Rolex Day Date 40 Anniversary Dial. Being seen with one Day Date is impressive, but owning three is a massive flex, and McGregor has been spotted rocking three different Day Date 40 models. The first of these is the reference 228235, made in 18K rose gold with an olive green dial and Roman numerals.

This particular model holds extra significance, as it was launched to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Day-Date collection. It features the iconic fluted bezel and is paired with a President bracelet. The dial’s sunray finish reflects light beautifully, with grooves that create a subtle, ever-changing glow as it catches the light.

Rolex Day Date 228206

The second Rolex Day Date 40 model in McGregor’s collection is the reference 228206, a stunning platinum piece with an ice blue dial. This model features a smooth bezel and baguette-cut diamond hour markers, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to its already striking design.

The ice blue dial, which has become iconic in Rolex’s lineup, contrasts beautifully with the platinum case, making this watch a real standout. This model was discontinued in 2022 and replaced by reference 228236, but its crisp design and rarity still makes it highly coveted.

Rolex Day Date 228238

The final Rolex Day Date 40 model in Conor McGregor’s collection is the reference 228238, crafted in 18K yellow gold with a luxurious champagne dial. Much like his platinum model, this piece also features baguette-cut diamond hour markers but with the iconic fluted bezel. You know you’re doing well in life when you can own three Day Dates.

Rolex Sky-Dweller 326138

Clearly a fan of the Rolex Sky-Dweller, Conor McGregor has been seen wearing several different versions including this striking 326138 model. He even wore it while casually breaking a punching machine, which feels about right. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, it features a rich champagne dial and a brown leather strap for a classic, luxurious look.

The Sky-Dweller is one of Rolex’s most complicated watches, boasting an annual calendar that automatically adjusts for different month lengths, and a clever second time zone display via the off-center 24-hour disc. The fluted bezel isn’t just decorative either but functional too, used to set the various features through Rolex’s Ring Command system.

Rolex Sky-Dweller 336235

The other Rolex Sky-Dweller in Conor McGregor’s watch collection is the bolder, full-gold 336235. While his 326138 pairs a gold case with a leather strap, this version goes all-in with an 18K rose gold case, rose gold Oyster bracelet, and a rich chocolate brown dial to match. It’s a real statement piece.

Like his other Sky-Dweller, this one packs serious technical punch too, featuring Rolex’s Calibre 9001 movement, an annual calendar that only needs adjusting once a year, and a dual-time zone display cleverly built into the dial. The signature fluted bezel also doubles as part of the Ring Command system to set the watch’s functions.

Patek Phillipe Calatrava Skeleton 5180/R

Another standout piece in Conor McGregor’s watch collection is his skeletonized Patek Philippe Calatrava 5180/1R. Crafted in 18K rose gold, it’s powered by the ultra-thin caliber 240 SQU movement which is completely skeletonized, hand-engraved, and designed to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2017.

The level of craftsmanship here is next-level with around 130 hours spent on hand engraving alone, including a first-ever engraved Patek Philippe Seal on the micro-rotor. The case measures a sleek 39mm and is just 6.7mm thick. Even though it originally retailed at around $122,000, these fall significantly under retail on the secondary market, not that McGregor is likely losing sleep over that.

Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts Calatrava 5077/100R

Conor McGregor’s taste for rare Patek Philippe pieces is no secret, and his Calatrava 5077/100R proves it yet again. Part of the 2023 Rare Handcrafts collection, this ultra-exclusive 37mm watch is crafted in 18K rose gold and set with brilliant-cut diamonds around the bezel.

The real star, though, is the dial, a hand-painted underwater scene featuring manta rays gliding across a vivid blue ocean floor. Every detail is meticulously brought to life by Patek’s master artisans, using traditional enameling and engraving techniques that take countless hours to complete. No two dials are exactly alike, making each watch truly one-of-a-kind.

Patek Philippe Ellipse 3738/118

Definitely not the best-known Patek Philippe model, but a beautiful one nonetheless – and clearly one Conor McGregor enjoys – the Ellipse 3738/118 is a perfect example of understated elegance. Designed by the legendary Gérald Genta, this model features a sleek, single-piece 18K yellow gold case paired with a deep blue, satin-finish Sigma dial.

Applied gold baton hour markers and slender gold hands complete the minimalist aesthetic, while inside, it’s powered by Patek’s ultra-thin Caliber 240 automatic movement, complete with a 22K micro-rotor. The integrated yellow gold bracelet adds a seamless, jewellery-like feel, making it more refined than the other Audemars Piguet watches in McGregor’s collection.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26400SO

Speaking of sporty, it doesn’t get much more athletic than the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore and Conor McGregor clearly agrees. One of his picks is the reference 26400SO, a serious piece of kit housed in a 44mm stainless steel case with a black ceramic bezel.

The Royal Oak is already one of the most iconic watch designs of all time, but the Offshore line takes it to another level making it bigger, bolder, and built to handle serious action. This model features a crisp white dial with signature “Méga Tapisserie” pattern, black sub-dials, and a tough black rubber strap that completes the sporty look. It’s powered by an automatic chronograph movement and, naturally, comes with a date display too.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26215OR

Conor McGregor also has one of the boldest Royal Oak Offshore models in his collection, the reference 26215OR. Crafted in rose gold and absolutely drenched in factory-set diamonds across the bezel, case, shoulders, and even featuring a pavé diamond dial, this is a piece that makes no apologies.

 True to Conor McGregor’s larger-than-life style, it’s a serious statement piece; it’s loud, rare, and incredibly hard to find. Being an off-catalogue model, even finding a retail price is a challenge, and secondary market appearances are few and far between. But if there’s anyone who can pull off a diamond-drenched, rose gold Royal Oak Offshore with style and swagger, it’s “The Notorious” himself.

Jacob & Co. Rasputin Tourbillon White Gold Erotic

If anyone is going to own a raunchy, diamond-drenched timepiece, then it’s going to be Conor McGregor. Enter the Jacob & Co. Rasputin Tourbillon, a wild blend of ultra-high horology, blinding diamonds, and a cheeky erotic complication hidden under the dial. It’s made from 18k white gold and absolutely encrusted with nearly 30 carats of baguette-cut diamonds.

But the 47.6mm watch doesn’t just sparkle, it seduces. Activate the slide on the side of the case, and not only will you hear the minute repeater chime beautifully, but a hidden, hand-painted erotic scene is revealed behind engraved “curtains.” It’s outrageous, audacious, and brilliantly excessive retailing at nearly $2 million, everything you’d expect from both Jacob & Co. and McGregor himself.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather

Last but definitely not least, Conor McGregor was seen wearing the incredible Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather at the premiere of Road House in New York. A true tribute to the iconic film, the Opera Godfather is a full cinematic experience on the wrist with a 49mm case and a miniature hand-sculpted Don Vito Corleone at its heart.

The piece actually incorporates actual visual and musical elements from the movie. Turn the violin-shaped crank, and the watch plays Nino Rota’s legendary theme from The Godfather through a functioning music box. It’s an extremely rare watch created in partnership with Paramount Pictures limited to just 88 pieces and retails for $364,000.

Conclusion

Conor McGregor’s watch collection is a true reflection of his extravagant tastes and larger-than-life personality. It’s pretty clear he’s drawn to pieces that are bold, intricate, and brimming with luxury, often showcasing a love for solid gold, lots of diamonds, and striking green dials.

He’s also not afraid to sport rare and complex movements that are as much about horological mastery as they are about making a statement. Whether it’s a diamond-encrusted Rolex or a limited-edition Patek Philippe, McGregor’s selections make it clear: he has expensive taste, but more importantly, great taste.
