Vietnamese national team captain and central defender, Đỗ Duy Mạnh, recently caused fans to feel regret when he announced the loss of a valuable asset on the evening of April 7th. Although unfortunate, the incident also clearly shows that the fashion taste of domestic players is increasingly being upgraded.
The incident occurred after the match against Malaysia, and the lost item was an Audemars Piguet watch worth over 1 billion VND. Not only possessing material value, this was also a commemorative gift given by his wife two years ago, associated with many important milestones in his career.
Duy Mạnh's story once again shows that the passion for luxury watches is becoming increasingly popular among Vietnamese footballers. These are not just fashion accessories but also represent class, aesthetic taste, and personal identity.
Standing out among them is Nguyễn Quang Hải, who owns a dream-worthy watch collection. On his wedding day, he attracted attention by wearing a Rolex Datejust M126281RBR-0017 worth over 600 million VND. Previously, at the engagement ceremony, Quang Hải also chose a Cartier Santos de Cartier Blue Dial with a luxurious diamond-set design, valued at around 200 million VND.
Goalkeeper Đặng Văn Lâm is also a devotee of high-end watches. He frequently appears with sporty, robust models like the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel 44mm, priced at nearly 300 million VND. Additionally, Văn Lâm once wore a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust at the 2023 Golden Ball Awards ceremony. His collection also includes the Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Titanium Automatic Black Dial, notable for its lightweight titanium material and high precision.
One cannot overlook Đoàn Văn Hậu with his Rolex GMT Master II Steel Pepsi, valued at around 500 million VND. This is an iconic watch model with its characteristic blue-red bezel, integrating a dual time zone display feature, very suitable for those who frequently travel.
At the coaching level, Coach Kim Sang Sik also possesses notable watch taste. He uses a Rolex Submariner Date 41mm worth nearly 300 million VND. This watch model is famous for its durability, ability to operate in harsh environments, and its black dial with luminous hour markers, making it easy to read in low-light conditions.
It can be seen that the watch passion of Vietnamese football stars is not merely a personal hobby but also reflects lifestyle, success, and class. From iconic Rolexes to luxurious Audemars Piguets, each watch model tells its own story, closely linked to the journey and mark of each player.
