Who Wears a Rolex Sky-Dweller?

Irishman and UFC featherweight champ Conor McGregor will go up against welterweight Nate Diaz on Saturday, August 20th in a highly anticipated rematch after their first fight a few months ago. When he is not in the gym training for his next battle, the mixed martial arts superstar spends time curating a wardrobe worthy of a distinguished gentleman that includes the finest luxury timepieces in the world. His latest acquisition is the Everose gold Rolex Sky-Dweller with a chocolate dial shown in the photo below.

Introduced by Rolex in 2012, the Sky-Dweller is their most complicated watch, featuring an annual calendar and second time zone feature controlled by a Ring Command bezel. Only precious metal configurations are available, making it a prestigious addition to the watchmaker's Oyster Perpetual line. The case diameter measures 42mm and the bezel is fluted, giving the large watch a textured look that reflects the light and catches the eye.

The Sky-Dweller is popular amongst athletes, with golfers Tiger Woods and Adam Scott photographed wearing it - Scott modeling the watch for Rolex's Sky-Dweller ads. Rolex brand ambassador Roger Federer also has a Sky-Dweller in his collection as does boxer Floyd Mayweather. A boxing match between Mayweather and McGregor has been floated around for months, with McGregor recently saying he would accept the match under Mayweather's terms.

"Right now I have Floyd running around the Showtime offices gathering my money. That's what he's doing. He's running around the Showtime offices, begging for those executives to come up with $100 million cash for me to fight me. So as soon as he gets my money, we can fight." McGregor told mmafighting.com, citing financial hold ups for the delay.

Sports stars aren't the only fans of the Sky-Dweller. The greats of hip hop and R&B have also embraced the model, with Jay Z, 50 Cent and Chris Brown all photographed wearing one over the past few years. Trey Songz is also a Sky-Dweller owner, showing it off all over his Instagram feed. I've embedded a photo of Songz rocking his Sky-Dweller with Dave East below.

UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor Wears a Rolex Sky-Dweller

Irishman Conor McGregor is one of the most popular UFC fighters because of his sense of humor and his memorable takedowns, including his history-making 13 second knock out of Jose Aldo last year.

The featherweight champ is also known for his dapper style at press conferences and talk show appearances. He is photographed above wearing a yellow gold Rolex Sky-Dweller paired nicely with a navy vest and purple pocket square.

Unselfish with the millions he has raked in for his fights, McGregor gifted girlfriend Dee Devlin a Rolex Datejust with a diamond bezel last Christmas.

TMZ caught up with Mixed Martial Artist leaving a Rolex store in March of 2016, just after his loss to welterweight Nate Diaz in Las Vegas on March 5, 2016. Unfortunately, the cameraman seemed more interested in talking to him about Justin Bieber than asking what he may have purchased at Rolex. Watch the video below.
