David Beckham, whose name long ago transcended the football pitch, continues to bolster his status as a global icon. After retiring from his brilliant sporting career in 2013 following two decades at the top, he did not fade into obscurity. Instead, he skillfully transformed his fame into a successful business empire, becoming co-owner and investor in the American football club Inter Miami, as well as an influential figure in the fashion world. Today, at 50, Beckham is not just a former athlete but a true trendsetter and a successful entrepreneur.
A new chapter in his multifaceted career came with a collaboration with Swiss watchmaker Tudor. Beckham became the face of the landmark ‘Born To Dare’ campaign, launched back in 2017. The philosophy of this campaign is to honor individuals whose achievements were made possible by a bold and unconventional approach to life—a quality that perfectly captures David himself. As part of the project, photographs were released featuring him posing with various watch models, including the elegant Black Bay S&G chronometer, available in several finishes.
Beckham himself shared that what attracted him to Tudor was not only the impeccable attention to detail but also the brand’s rich history. He noted that for an Englishman, a good suit and a beautiful watch are a classic combination that always works. According to him, Tudor’s legacy—closely linked to the spirit of adventure, pioneering underwater dives, and daring expeditions—deeply resonated with him. This partnership appears to be more than just a commercial deal; it is a union of shared values and a common outlook on life.
In addition to his business success and fashion contracts, David devotes a significant part of his life to humanitarian work. Since 2005, he has served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, actively participating in child protection programs and contributing to the fight against malaria. This side of his personality reveals him as a person with a big heart for whom social responsibility is more than just empty words.
Family remains his steadfast support in all endeavors. His marriage to Victoria Beckham—former singer and now a world-renowned designer—illustrates how it is possible to successfully balance dazzling careers with strong personal relationships built on trust and love. The couple proudly raises four children: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Seven. Their family is rightly considered one of the most influential and stylish clans in modern Britain, and the recent knighthood conferred on David by King Charles III has only confirmed his exceptional status in society.
