About Judd Trump’s watch collection
Judd Trump is a professional snooker player from Bristol, England, and one of the most decorated players in the modern era of the sport. He turned professional in 2005 and spent years as a perennial finalist before breaking through to claim his first World Snooker Championship title at the Crucible in 2019. Since then, he has gone on to win multiple ranking events and has held the world number one ranking, cementing his place alongside Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Selby as a defining figure of his generation. Known for his attacking, high-break style of play, Trump brings a precision to the table that has drawn comparisons to some of the sport's all-time greats.
Off the baize, Trump has shown a clear appreciation for luxury watches, and the Judd Trump watch collection, as documented so far, points firmly toward Rolex. He was recently spotted wearing a Rolex Day-Date 40 in Everose gold with a green dial, reference 228235 — a pairing that carries an unintentional but hard-to-ignore nod to the green cloth of a snooker table. The Day-Date 40 ref. 228235 was introduced in 2016 as part of Rolex's 60th anniversary celebration of the Day-Date line, a model that debuted in 1956 as the first wristwatch to display both the full date and the day of the week spelled out completely. The 40mm Everose gold case — Rolex's proprietary 18-carat rose gold alloy — places this particular reference firmly at the top of the Day-Date range.
The choice of a Day-Date is telling. Long associated with presidents, heads of state, and high-achievers across fields, it is a watch with a specific cultural weight that goes beyond its mechanical credentials. For a snooker player who has spent years working his way to the summit of his sport, the Day-Date reads less as a luxury flex and more as a considered choice from someone who understands what the watch represents.
