Nyjah Huston — watch collection

About Nyjah Huston’s watch collection

Nyjah Huston is the most decorated competitive skateboarder of his generation. Born in Davis, California in 1994, he turned professional as a child and went on to win more X Games gold medals than any other athlete in history, alongside multiple Street League Skateboarding championship titles. He is consistently the highest-earning skateboarder on the planet, with a portfolio of sponsorships that spans Nike SB, Element, and Monster Energy. When skateboarding made its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, Huston was among the most watched competitors in the field. His profile extends well beyond the skate park — he operates as a businessman, investor, and a recognizable figure in streetwear and luxury culture.

The Nyjah Huston watch collection reflects the same appetite for extreme performance and technical depth that defines his skating. Rather than defaulting to the Swiss mainstream, Huston has gravitated toward Roger Dubuis, a Geneva manufacture known for pushing movement architecture and materials to their limits. He was spotted wearing the Roger Dubuis Excalibur MT Cobalt Chrome, reference RDDBEX0838 — a piece limited to just 88 examples worldwide. The watch is built around the calibre RD01SQ, a skeletonized manufacture movement that carries the Geneva Seal, one of the most rigorous quality certifications in horology. The case itself is machined from cobalt chrome, a material more commonly associated with aerospace and medical implants than watch cases, which gives it a density and visual character that separates it clearly from conventional luxury sports watches.

For an athlete who has spent his career doing things at a level most people consider unreachable, the choice of a 88-piece Roger Dubuis limited edition is a coherent one. The Excalibur MT Cobalt Chrome is not a watch that trades on brand recognition alone — it demands some knowledge to appreciate fully, sitting at the crossroads of advanced materials science and traditional haute horlogerie finishing. It is a niche, technically serious object, and that appears to be exactly the point.
