Arthur Fery surprised us all this year, becoming the first British wildcard to reach the singles' semifinal at Wimbledon, and the second wildcard to ever do so after Goran Ivanišević 25 years ago.

The 23-year-old's biggest fan, and proudest supporter, has been his father, businessman Loïc Fery, who has been courtside cheering his son on throughout the tournament – usually with a luxury watch on his wrist.

For his son's big semi-final game on Friday, Fery sported a Rolex Sea-Dweller with a black dial; classic, and pretty minimal as far as Rolexes go, but it's a well-loved model for a good reason, and there are quite a few features that make it standout from the more well-known Submariner.

Firstly, the Sea-Dweller is a little bigger, at 43mm, giving it a bolder presence on the wrist. It's also heavier and thicker, with 1,220 metres of water resistance. It's more of a watch for professional use than an everyday luxury watch like the Submariner, so it's certainly one to go for if you prefer that heavy-duty tool watch look.

If you're looking to pick up one of these Rolex Sea-Dweller watches for yourself, it'll set you back £12,150, but the Oystersteel and yellow gold version is slightly steeper at £18,800.
