He has competed at major tournaments including the US Open and other prestigious events, establishing himself as a notable figure in contemporary professional tennis.
The Ben Shelton watch collection centers on Rolex sports watches, reflecting both his active lifestyle and appreciation for functional timepieces. He has been spotted wearing the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126720VTNR-0001, a stainless steel model specifically designed for left-hand wearers. This variant, known by collectors as the 'Sprite' due to its distinctive green-black bezel, represents Rolex's accommodation of left-handed users—a relatively uncommon offering in the watchmaking industry.

The model features a black dial and the characteristic GMT functionality, making it suitable for travel and professional environments. His selection of Rolex aligns with the brand's positioning in professional athletics, where durability and legibility are functional requirements rather than aesthetic preferences alone. The GMT-Master II has long been favored by individuals requiring reliable timekeeping across multiple time zones.
