Global icon: David Beckham smiled as he showed of his new Jacob & Co watch in New York earlier this month

David Beckham has scored a very posh new accessory.

The LA Galaxy midfielder is the proud owner of a Jacob & Co Global 3 watch, which cost an eye-watering $11,000.

The star first showed off the new addition to his collection of expensive timepieces in New York earlier this month.

Of course that is just a drop in the ocean for the wealthy footballer, who is worth an estimated $175 million.

The timepiece comes with a host of features the star will find handy.

t displays five different time zones, New York, LA, Tokyo and Paris, as well as the local time.

And no doubt the beach-loving athlete will love the fact it is water resistant at depths of up to 50 metres.

Perhaps his new watch even offers a hint his proposed move to Paris Saint-Germain is far more likely than a return to Manchester United or Arsenal, as if ends up in French capital he will not even change the time.

It also will appeal to the star, as it rates high on the bling scale.
It has an expensive alligator skin strap, silver plated dial and a 18 carat rose gold bezel.

He will not even have to worry about having to pay to have it fixed if it breaks down, as it comes with a two-year warranty.

David and his wife Victoria are huge fans of the exclusive brand, and have been pictured on numerous occasions wearing their watches.

Company founder Jacob Arabo said: 'It's always a pleasure to have David Beckham in our store.

'He has been a huge supporter of the brand since the beginning and he and his wife have become dear friends.'
