Adrian Lewis — watch collection

About Adrian Lewis’s watch collection

Adrian Lewis is a professional darts player from Stoke-on-Trent, England, who has established himself as one of the most decorated players in the sport's modern era. Known universally by his nickname 'Jackpot', Lewis is a two-time PDC World Darts Championship winner, claiming back-to-back titles in 2011 and 2012. Those victories, achieved before the age of 27, announced him as a generational talent on the oche. He has represented England at the World Cup of Darts on multiple occasions and has remained a fixture on the PDC tour, competing regularly against the sport's elite players including Phil Taylor, Peter Wright, and Michael van Gerwen.

The Adrian Lewis watch collection, as captured in our sightings database, points firmly toward Rolex — and specifically toward the kind of Rolex that prioritises function over ceremony. Following a 5-2 victory over Peter Wright that advanced him to the semi-finals, Lewis was photographed wearing a Rolex Explorer II in white dial steel, Reference 216570. This is not a dress watch or a showroom piece; the Explorer II was originally conceived for cavers, polar explorers, and field workers who needed a reliable 24-hour hand to distinguish day from night underground. The Reference 216570, introduced at Baselworld 2011, features a 42mm Oyster case — an increase from the outgoing 40mm Reference 16570 — and wears with a presence that suits a professional athlete who carries himself with similar directness.

The choice of an Explorer II over flashier Rolex lines says something grounded about Lewis as a collector. Where many athletes gravitate toward the Daytona or the Sky-Dweller for their prestige and complexity, Lewis appears to favour a watch that simply works. The white dial 216570 is the more understated of the two dial options Rolex offered on that reference, and it reinforces the impression of someone who buys what he likes rather than what photographs well.
