Deniz Undav — watch collection

About Deniz Undav’s watch collection

Deniz Undav is a German professional footballer who plays as a striker for VfB Stuttgart and the German national team. A self-described late bloomer, Undav spent years working his way through the lower tiers of German football before a breakthrough spell at Brighton & Hove Albion's sister club Union SG in Belgium brought him to wider attention. He subsequently joined VfB Stuttgart on loan and then permanently, establishing himself as one of the Bundesliga's most effective forwards. His breakout moment on the international stage came at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he emerged as one of Germany's key attacking threats during their tournament run. A standout performance against Ivory Coast — combining sharp movement, clinical finishing, and composure under pressure — confirmed his arrival at the highest level of the game.

Off the pitch, the Deniz Undav watch collection currently centres on a single, well-chosen piece from Audemars Piguet. Undav has been spotted wearing the Royal Oak Chronograph Ref. 26240BA.OO.1320BA.02, crafted in 18k yellow gold. This reference is part of the modern generation of the Royal Oak Chronograph, featuring the in-house Calibre 4401 movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch, and the integrated bracelet design that defines the Royal Oak lineage. The yellow gold execution gives it a warmer, more distinctive character compared to the steel variants, and it sits at the more premium end of the Royal Oak Chronograph range.

Choosing a yellow gold Royal Oak Chronograph rather than defaulting to the more common stainless steel version suggests a considered approach to watch buying. For a footballer still building his profile at the top level, it reflects growing confidence in his own taste rather than simply following what teammates or stylists recommend. With Undav's career trajectory pointing upward after his World Cup performances, it will be worth watching whether his collection expands to match his rising status in the game.
