Nathan Jewellers produces two officially licensed NRL watch collections. Both cover all 17 clubs, both use sapphire crystal, and both are built as real watches rather than merchandise. The difference is where each one sits — and this guide is here to answer one question honestly: which NRL watch is right for you?
The short answer
- MatchTimer™ — $349. Japanese movement, 304L stainless steel, 50m water resistance. The everyday club watch.
- Clubmaster™ Game Day — $569. Swiss movement, premium stainless steel, club-specific dial detailing. The collection piece.
- Clubmaster™ Victory — $599. The elevated Clubmaster expression.
- Night Stadium ($695) and Captains ($795) — ceramic bezel, numbered, 1,000 per club, arriving 2027.
What the MatchTimer™ is
MatchTimer™ runs a Japanese quartz movement in a 304L stainless steel case with sapphire crystal and 50m water resistance, backed by a 2 year warranty. Home Series carries a black dial, Away Series a white dial. It is designed to be worn daily without ceremony — work, weekends, the game.
What the Clubmaster™ is
Clubmaster™ steps up to Swiss movement, premium stainless steel and individual assembly, with club-specific design detailing and the NRL logo on the dial. It is the piece you buy when you want the watch to hold its own on the wrist independent of the club badge.

Who each watch suits
Choose MatchTimer™ if you want an honest, well-finished club watch at $349 that you will wear every day and not think twice about. Choose Clubmaster™ if the watch itself matters as much as the club — Swiss movement, deeper finishing, and a collection that continues into the numbered Night Stadium and Captains releases in 2027.
Both collections cover all 17 clubs, so start from your team — for example the Broncos club page, Panthers or Storm — and you will see the watches and accessories available for that club in one place.
Either way, add a team watch band from $54.95 and you have a full club wardrobe: the timepiece for the occasion, the band for the everyday.
Time. Pride. Legacy.
