Rock and blues master, Eric Clapton, is undoubtedly one of the most influential guitarists of all time. He is the only individual to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times, and has also received eighteen Grammys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from Clapton\u2019s extensive guitar collection, he is also quite the watch collector. Let\u2019s take a look at his collection and highlight a few of our favorite watches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eric
Here is a closer look at what his mornings probably look like, and no that is not his wrist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Milgauss 116400GV<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV<\/a> features a black dial, with white and orange luminescent hour markers. The most iconic feature of the Milgauss is, of course, the classic orange lightning bolt second hand. Orange minute markers encircle the outer rim, creating a harmonious repetition of color throughout the dial. This newer model also comes with a green anniversary crystal, also known as Glace Verte, meaning \u2018green glass\u2019 in French. The \u2018Mil\u2019 in Milgauss, also has other linguistic origins. \u2018Mille\u2019 in Latin, means one thousand, which reflects the Milgauss\u2019 ability to withstand magnetic fields up to one thousand gauss. This model was originally created for scientists and people who work in power plants, medical facilities, or research labs. While Clapton will likely never have to worry about being exposed to that level of magnetism, the Milgauss looks great, and has clean lines that will never go out of style.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eric
The GMT-Master 116710 is a tool watch. Aside from its multipurpose functions, Eric Clapton rocks out while wearing the GMT-Master.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GMT-Master 116710<\/b><\/h2>\n

The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and the black ceramic bezel is the perfect match for a guitarist who is constantly on the move and rocking out. This tool watch is also great for someone who travels a lot for gigs, as it tracks up to three time zones when the GMT bezel is used in conjunction with the GMT hand. The Rolex GMT-Master 116710<\/a> is another classic stainless steel beauty that we love.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eric
The Daytona 116528 is another tool watch that Eric Clapton has.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Daytona 116528<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Clapton has made the Daytona 116528 his own by replacing the standard yellow gold oyster bracelet with a black Oysterflex band<\/a>. The black strap contrasts nicely with the 18 karat yellow gold case, and the dial ties back in the black nicely. The repetition of black and gold harmonizes tastefully, just like Clapton\u2019s music.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what Clapton will add to his collection next.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
