Hi can anyone help me, what watch is Gordon Ramsay wearing? He sported it in the recent season of the f-word.




My first instinct was that it was a Ferrari-branded wristwatch given the yellow face (and the not inconsiderable income our erstwhile cook earns)...

Difficult to make out, particularly with GH's manic stare, but I think its a Breitling of some kind.

VERY close, though it appears the black dials are in the wrong place :-(

Actually that looks so close that it's more than likely it - even if the dials are in the wrong place!

Not if you are wearing it on your left arm. Think about it.

The watch on Gordons wrist has the small faces at 3,6 & 9. The one youve posted a pciture of has the small faces at 6,9 & 12 so it isnt the same. Think your on the right track though (Breitling) just not there yet.

I think you need to think about it. It doesn't matter whether he has the watch on his right, left or up his Glaswegian Jacksie - the dials are in the wrong place relative to teh crown.

Reasonably sober now. I see what you mean. Googled GR and its definitely a Breitling but goodness knows which one.

It's a Girard Ferrari.

Nearest pic I can find is this, note the correct placement of the dials, will try to find the actual one.

Right chaps, the watch worh by Gordon Ramsay is definately a Breitling Chrono Cockpit. I was certain it is a Breitling, but I couldn't recall which one. So, I have to confess to a bit of cheating and may have phoned the National Sales Manager......(zips up anorak and carries on watching the snooker) :-)

Outstanding! Get you a case of beer for that one.
