From the luxurious design of the Omega's De Ville Co-Axial Chronometer to the iconic sophistication of the Rolex Day-Date in platinum, his collection never fails to impress. Harald has continued to maintain his reputation as a collector of stunning watches, cementing himself as a true watch enthusiast.
King Harald V of Norway Spotted Wearing Rolex GMT-Master 'Pepsi' Ref. 1675

The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 was introduced in 1959 as a tool watch for professional aviators, and King Harald V of Norway has worn his personal example nearly every day since acquiring it in 1962 — making this one of the most documented royal watch relationships in horology. The red-and-blue 'Pepsi' bezel insert, calibre 1565 movement, and gilt dial of that era now rank among the most coveted configurations in vintage Rolex collecting. That a reigning monarch reaches for a steel sports watch over courtly dress pieces says everything about this reference's enduring authority.
King Harald V of Norway Spotted Wearing a Vintage Omega Speedmaster with Calibre 321

The Omega Speedmaster powered by the Calibre 321 is the movement that went to the Moon — and here it graces the wrist of Crown Prince Harald of Norway in a refreshingly understated royal sighting. The broad arrow hands, flat bezel with tachymetre scale, and early lollipop seconds hand visible on the dial point to one of the earliest Speedmaster references, predating NASA certification by years. For a future monarch, it is a remarkably democratic choice — steel, leather strap, no frills.
