Introduction to Arthur Melo
Arthur Melo is a Brazilian professional footballer born on August 12, 1996, in Mutuípe, Bahia. A central midfielder known for his technical ability and composure on the ball, he came through the youth academy of Grêmio before making his senior breakthrough in Brazil. His performances earned him a high-profile move to FC Barcelona in 2020 in a deal that also saw Ivan Rakitić head to Seville — a transfer that underlined the considerable expectations placed on him at the time. He has represented the Brazilian national team at senior level and built his career across some of European football's most recognizable clubs, including loans to Juventus and Fiorentina as well as a permanent move to Liverpool.
The Arthur Melo watch collection, as far as cameras have revealed, centers on Rolex. The clearest sighting came at a genuinely significant moment: when the midfielder sat down to put pen to paper on his loan deal with Juventus for the 2020/2021 season, he was wearing a stainless steel Rolex Submariner Date reference 116610LN. The 116610LN, introduced at Baselworld 2010, was a meaningful update to the Submariner line, bringing in the Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert — a harder, more scratch-resistant and UV-stable material that replaced the older aluminum insert. The black dial and black Cerachrom bezel on a 40mm Oyster case with a five-link Oyster bracelet make this one of the cleaner, less showy references in the Rolex catalogue, despite its widespread recognition.
Choosing a steel Submariner Date rather than a precious-metal variant or a more overtly flashy sports watch suggests a practical sensibility. The 116610LN sits at the entry point of the professional Rolex dive watch range and is worn by everyone from divers to heads of state, which is precisely what makes spotting it on a footballer's wrist in a contract-signing setting feel considered rather than accidental. With only one confirmed sighting in our database so far, the full scope of Arthur Melo's collection remains largely off-camera — but the reference he chose for that Juventus moment was a deliberate one.
Arthur Melo Spotted Wearing Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116610LN
Inserted 03/12/2022
The Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN introduced the brand's proprietary Cerachrom ceramic bezel in 2010, replacing the aluminum insert that had defined the watch for decades — a technical leap that made the bezel virtually scratchproof and UV-resistant. Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo chose this modern classic as his wrist companion during one of the most headline-grabbing transfer signings of the 2020 summer window, moving from FC Barcelona to Juventus in a swap deal that sent Miralem Pjanić in the opposite direction. A fitting watch for a moment of understated, deliberate cool.
