Leo Santana — watch collection

About Leo Santana’s watch collection

Leo Santana is one of Brazil's most prominent forró singers, having built a reputation as a consistent draw on the country's major festival circuit. Born in Bahia, he rose through the competitive northeastern music scene to become one of the most streamed artists in the forró genre nationally, accumulating hundreds of millions of streams across platforms. Beyond his regional roots, Santana has crossed into mainstream Brazilian pop culture, collaborating with artists outside the forró world and maintaining a high-profile presence that extends well beyond music — including a long-running public relationship with fellow entertainer Lorena Improta.

The Leo Santana watch collection, as documented so far, points toward a preference for serious, hard-to-source Rolex references rather than flashy complications or purely ornamental pieces. Santana has been spotted wearing a stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126710BLRO on the brand's five-link Jubilee bracelet — a configuration that, since its debut at Baselworld 2018, has remained one of the most sought-after and dealer-waitlisted Rolex references in the world. The 126710BLRO is distinguished by its two-tone red and blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel, a material Rolex developed in-house for superior scratch and fade resistance. Pairing that bezel with the Jubilee bracelet rather than the Oyster bracelet gives the watch a slightly dressier, more finished character.

Choosing the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO on Jubilee says something specific about where Santana's tastes sit. This isn't a watch bought for visibility alone — it's a reference that requires either serious connections at an authorized dealer or patience, and it rewards people who know what they're looking at. For a performer who travels heavily between festival dates across Brazil, a GMT complication also carries practical logic.
