Just like the importance of jewellery to women, watches are one of the most important ornaments for men. A good watch is not only a manifestation of lifestyle, but also a symbol of social status. Therefore, luxury watches have become a watch category that most people pay more attention to.
The well-known luxury watch brands generally include Rolex, OMEGA, etc. Today, I have carefully selected a few of the more popular watches for everyone. Let’s take a look.
This watch belongs to the Submariner series and was released in 2020. Starting from the outside, the new Submariner has an ever-so-slightly bigger case, 41mm vs the old models 40. On paper this change may not seem much, but it actually results in the dial being slightly larger, increasing legibility. Despite its increase in size, the new watch actually wears slightly smaller than its predecessor. This is thanks to some thinning of the lugs and a decrease in the size of the crown guard.
In addition, it also has a 70-hour super power reserve, plus the Chronergy escapement, which makes the new movement longer and more reliable.
The dial on this watch has a multilayered construction and is characterized by a world map relief at the center which has been created on a grade 5 titanium plate using laser ablation to segregate the blue oceans and the continents. Moving outwards you have first a 24-hour glass ring which showcases day and night time in a light and dark shade of blue respectively. The ring is followed by blue vertical stripes which mimic the teak decks found on yachts and have always been a signature design element of the Aqua Terra line up. Finally, on the outer section of the dial, are the major cities of the world printed in two steps on separate rings.
In addition, it also has a 70-hour super power reserve, plus the Chronergy escapement, which makes the new movement longer and more reliable.
It measures 45mm x 15.73mm, which is at the larger end of the Navitimer spectrum. Movement B03 is the main focus of this watch. The movement B03 is produced by Breitling at the Breitling Chronometrié factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is a technically heavyweight due to its second hand timing device. The momentary mechanism allows the wearer to time two events at the same time, or even once. The movement is wrapped in a rose gold case to add power to the classic Navitimer style watch. The dial is decorated with the iconic slide rule bezel, which is full of functions that may not be understood.
Tonda 1950 is a thin dress watch with an in-house automatic movement, decorated to Haute horology standards, without an oscillating weight obstructing the view.
It is slender and very comfortable to wear on the wrist. It looks good under a formal shirt, you can wear a sports jacket without hanging on your body, and even looks good with a short-sleeved shirt. The weight of platinum is striking, but it is not as bulky as a gold sports watch.
The Tonda 1950 has a power reserve of 42-hours, a water-resistance of 30 meters and it is presented on a black or brown Hermès alligator strap (depending on the model) with a matching polished signed buckle.
