The Daniel Dae Kim watch collection reflects a preference for professional sports watches from established manufacturers. Kim was spotted wearing the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Ref. 226627 during LAFC's Korean Heritage Night celebration at BMO Stadium. The titanium sports watch represents one of Rolex's significant releases in recent years, arriving after extended speculation within collector circles and following a prototype sighting worn by Olympic sailor Sir Ben Ainslie in 2020.
The Yacht-Master 42 Ref. 226627 features Rolex's calibre 3235 automatic movement, housed within a titanium case that offers both durability and a lighter wear experience compared to traditional stainless steel alternatives. The watch pairs a black dial with a matching Oyster bracelet, presenting a functional aesthetic suited to both nautical and everyday environments. This selection aligns with Kim's apparent appreciation for technically accomplished timepieces designed for professional use rather than luxury statement pieces.
