WHY THIS WATCH

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, introduced in 1993, is a bold, sporty adaptation of the iconic Royal Oak watch. Designed by Emmanuel Gueit, it pushed the boundaries of luxury watchmaking with its oversized 42mm case, visible gasket, and rugged aesthetics, becoming a trendsetter and symbol of contemporary high-end timepieces.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST, a popular reference in the Offshore collection, debuted in the 2000s. Its 42mm stainless steel case, bold "Méga Tapisserie" dial, and chronograph complication make it a powerful timepiece. Aesthetically versatile, it comes in numerous dial colors and offers an integrated bracelet or rubber strap.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST stands out for its distinctive design, blending the iconic Royal Oak's octagonal bezel with a bold "Méga Tapisserie" dial and chronograph function. Its 42mm stainless steel case offers robustness and presence, while the variety of dial colors and strap options provide versatility for various styles.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST houses the Calibre 3126/3840, an automatic movement with 59 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve. This movement features AP's signature design, harmonious bridges, hand-finished components, an angular balance cock, a 22K gold rotor with family crests, ceramic ball bearings, a balance with 8 variable inertia blocks, and polished gear train components with gold-plated, patterned non-functional surfaces.

Being the bigger, beefier cousin of the traditional Royal Oak, this watch doesn't let you forget it's on your wrist. I really like white dial Royal Oaks, and this one's got a sporty side, with touches of red throughout. The bracelet on this watch is what AP has become known for supremely finished and supremely comfortable. With the market price of the traditional royal oak in the stratosphere, these offshores are becoming more desirable by the day.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The full reference number for this watch is 26710ST.OO.1000ST.01. This watch was purchased Brand New in 2018 and comes with the full set of boxes and Papers, including stamped Guarantee. The watch was worn very sparingly, with only minor wear throughout. The case and bracelet are around 9.5/10. Chronograph is working perfectly and keeping excellent time with no mechanical issues.

WHY THIS WATCH

The Omega Seamaster, introduced in 1948, is a renowned line of dive watches from Swiss watchmaker Omega. Inspired by waterproof wristwatches made for the British military, the Seamaster has evolved over the decades, featuring improved water resistance and design enhancements. Notable models include the Seamaster 300, Planet Ocean, and Aqua Terra. The Seamaster gained global recognition as James Bond's watch in the 1990s, solidifying its status as an iconic timepiece.

The Omega Seamaster 300m Liquidmetal 233.30.41.21.01.001, released in 2014, honors the brand's heritage with a vintage-inspired design. Featuring a black ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal hour markers, anti-magnetic Master Co-Axial movement, and stainless steel case, this Seamaster pays homage to the original 1957 model while incorporating Omega's cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship.

The Omega Seamaster 300m Liquidmetal 233.30.41.21.01.001 is a special watch for its blend of heritage and innovation. With a vintage-inspired design reminiscent of 1957 original, it features advanced materials such as a ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal hour markers. Its anti-magnetic Master Co-Axial movement ensures precision, while the stainless steel case guarantees durability and style.

The Omega Seamaster 300m Liquidmetal 233.30.41.21.01.001 features the Master Co-Axial Calibre 8400, known for its anti-magnetic properties and accuracy. This automatic movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gausses and has a 60-hour power reserve. Its Co-Axial escapement reduces friction, increasing service intervals and ensuring long-lasting performance.

On the wrist, this watch wears a touch bigger than its 41mm case size would suggest due to its thickness and lug construction. This watch has a thin bezel and is all dial (which I like). The dial is super legible, with the broad arrow pointing at the hours. Peering through the case back, this watch has a beautifully decorated Co-Axial movement.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch was purchased in 2019, worn a handful of times on a nato, and kept in its box. The entire watch is MINT save for some wear on the back of the lugs from strap changes. The bracelet was never worn. The watch comes with a box, manual, and pictogram card only. Watch retails for $6,800.

Heuer Autavia 7763C 40MM Vintage Racing Chronograph Black Steel 1968 - WearingTime Luxury Watches

(0)

SOLDOUT: Heuer Autavia 7763C 40MM Vintage Racing Chronograph Black Steel 1968

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Heuer Autavia, a blend of "Automotive" and "Aviation," was introduced in 1962 by Swiss watchmaker Heuer. Originally designed as a dashboard instrument for race cars and aircraft, it transitioned into a wristwatch under Jack Heuer's leadership. Autavia gained fame through its association with motorsport icons like Jo Siffert and Mario Andretti. Its innovative features, such as a rotating bezel and high legibility, made it popular among racing enthusiasts. The Autavia series was discontinued in 1986, but in 2017, TAG Heuer, the successor of Heuer, reissued the Autavia, celebrating its rich heritage and reaffirming its iconic status.

The Heuer 7763C is a vintage manual-wind chronograph watch from the 1960s. Part of the Heuer Carrera family, it represents Jack Heuer's vision of a clean, legible, and functional racing-inspired timepiece. Launched in 1963, the Carrera was named after the dangerous and thrilling Carrera Panamericana road race. The 7763C features a robust stainless steel case, a two-register chronograph layout, and a classic black dial with contrasting white sub-dials. Powered by the reliable Valjoux 7730 movement, the watch ensures accurate timekeeping and chronograph functionality. The Heuer 7763C is a perfect example of the brand's commitment to precision, performance, and timeless design during its early years.

The Heuer 7763C stands out through its combination of vintage design, motorsport heritage, and functionality. Its reverse-panda dial, with a black background and contrasting white sub-dials, adds an appealing visual element, while the compressor-style case lends a unique touch. The watch's legible layout and reliable Valjoux 7730 manual-wind movement make it highly functional. With these features, the Heuer 7763C has become a sought-after timepiece, resonating with collectors and those who appreciate the timeless style of vintage chronographs.

The Heuer 7763C houses the Valjoux 7730 manual-wind movement, a robust and reliable Swiss-made caliber. It features a two-register chronograph layout with small seconds sub-dial and a 30-minute counter. The 7730 was widely used in various Swiss chronographs during the 1960s and 70s, known for its dependability and ease of service.

On the wrist, I'd say this watch wears true to its 40mm size, if not a little larger due to the lug construction. I love wearing this watch while driving, as it is a racing watch and dial legibility is superb. Vintage Heuers saw a huge spike in prices a few years ago, but have come down a ton, making this a really great value for a vintage racing watch from the late 60s.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The watch is 11XXXX from 1968. The Valjoux manual winding movement has been cleaned and oiled by our watchmaker and is running strong. The chronograph resets to zero as it should. The dial is original, with very little lume left on the indices. The case is in vintage condition, with wear throughout. The original bezel is showing some normal wear as well. Comes on an aftermarket racing strap. No box or papers.

SOLD OUT: IWC Top Gun IW389001 44.5mm Chronograph Black Ceramic Box 2016

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The IWC Top Gun is a series of pilot watches from the International Watch Company (IWC), a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer. Launched in 2007, the Top Gun line is part of IWC's Pilot's Watch family, influenced by the elite United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, also known as TOPGUN. These timepieces blend IWC's watchmaking expertise with the high-performance requirements of fighter pilots. The Top Gun series features robust materials like ceramic and titanium, making them highly resistant to external stressors. Iconic models include the "Miramar" and "Mojave Desert," showcasing IWC's commitment to innovation and design in the watchmaking industry.

The IWC IW389001 is a specific model within the IWC Top Gun collection, first introduced in 2016.

The IWC IW389001 stands out due to its unique combination of style, functionality, and inspiration. Its design pays homage to the prestigious United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN), evoking a sense of adventure and elite performance. The use of high-quality materials, like a black ceramic case and titanium case back, offers durability and lightweight wearability. Its automatic, self-winding chronograph movement ensures precision and reliability. The black dial with luminescent hands and indices offers excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The IW389001's blend of aviation history, cutting-edge materials, and sophisticated design makes it a standout timepiece.

The IWC IW389001 features the in-house Calibre 89361, an automatic, self-winding movement with a 68-hour power reserve. This highly reliable and precise movement includes a chronograph function, date display, and flyback mechanism, allowing pilots and enthusiasts to measure time intervals with ease and efficiency while showcasing IWC's horological expertise.

On the wrist, the first thing you notice is how light this watch is for its 44.5mm diameter. I love how clean and legible this dial is. Compared to other Top Gun models I think this is the most desirable with the two sub-registered combined into one at the top. You can tell this is an in-house movement when you activate the chronograph or wind the watch. This watch is light, comfortable, and legible enough to be an everyday tool watch for me.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The watch is from 2016 and is in overall excellent condition. The ceramic case has barely any wear and is around 9.5/10. The dark brown factory IWC strap was worn sparingly and is around an 8/10 with plenty of life left on it. The strap is affixed to a factory IWC deployment buckle. The watch is keeping excellent time and has zero mechanical issues with the chronograph resetting to zero. The watch comes with a box only, no papers.

SOLD OUT: Breitling Premier B25 Datora AB2510 42MM Chronograph Calendar Salmon Dial Steel Box and Papers 2022

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Breitling Premier, introduced in the 1940s, holds a special place in Breitling's history as the first line of elegant and sophisticated watches specifically designed for everyday wear. It marked a departure from Breitling's focus on functional, aviation-inspired timepieces. The Premier showcased Breitling's expertise in producing stylish, reliable, and precise wristwatches. In 2018, the brand revitalized the Premier collection, featuring models such as the Premier B01 Chronograph 42, Premier Automatic 40, and Premier Chronograph 42. These modern timepieces maintain the heritage of the original line while incorporating contemporary design elements and innovative technology.

The Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 is a special watch that combines classic design with modern technology. The dial of the watch is clean and uncluttered, with a vintage-inspired design that adds to its appeal. The case is made from high-quality stainless steel and is water resistant up to 100 meters. Overall, the Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 is a watch that combines style, functionality, and advanced features in a unique and sophisticated package.

The Breitling AB2510 features the in-house Caliber B25, an automatic chronograph movement. With 46 jewels, it boasts a power reserve of 48 hours and oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The B25 movement incorporates a column-wheel mechanism and a vertical clutch, ensuring precision and reliability in timekeeping.

On this wrist, this watch wears true to its 42mm sizing and has a lot of weight to it due to the 15mm thickness. The copper salmon dial feels like a special treat and is pretty legible despite the busyness of the dial. The dial's got everything I could need: a full calendar and a chronograph. I can tell Breilting spent a lot of time in R&D on this movement. Everything from the full calendar to how the crown winds and the pushers activate screams quality.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized Breilting AD and comes with the full set of box and papers as seen in the pictures. The watch was worn only a handful of times and is in Near Mint Condition. This watch is registered and under Breitling factory warranty until 2027. The watch retails for $13,500.

SOLD OUT: Tudor Ranger 79950 39MM Black Dial Steel Box and Papers 2022

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Tudor Ranger was conceived in 1952, when a group of British explorers on a two-year expedition towards Greenland, tested 30 watches for TUDOR. Following the experiment, the Ranger Model was officially established in the 1960's. The model was named "Ranger" to emphasize it's ruggidness. The Ranger is the sister of the Rolex Explorer which dates back to 1953. As Tudor was designed to be a more accessible sister brand for Rolex, the Oyster Prince Ranger dates back to the mid-late '60s and it is in those models where we find the inspiration for both the modern Tudor Rangers.

The new 79950 Ranger is based on the preceding reference, the 79910 Heritage Ranger, which rain from 2014 to 2020. The 79910 was a bit of an oddball Tudor, with a 41mm steel case, a Tudor rose on the dial, and a red seconds hand. The new 79950 is more loyal to the original Ranger, albeit at 39mm. The 79950 Ranger was introduced in 2022 and is a 39mm steel field watch that measures 12mm thick and 47mm lug to lug with a brushed bezel, 20mm lugs, and a sapphire crystal up front.

This watch is powered by the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5402 (COSC) which is a Self-winding mechanical movement with bi-directional rotor system. This movement carries a Power reserve of approximately 70 hours

The 39mm size case feels just about right for my 6.5 inch wrist. What I love most about this watch is it's simplicity and overall legibility. The dial is uncluttered and this watch has no additional functions beyond the time. A true field watch with modern(ish) proportions, and a steller movement. Also worth noting that the rubber strap is supremely comfortable year round.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is a 2022 Model purchased from an Authorized Dealer. The watch is Near Mint, with only some light wear on the back of the lugs from strap changes. The rest of the case including the sides is Mint. The sapphire crystal is flawless. The strap has been worn only a few times and is 95%. This watch comes with Tudor's OEM deployment buckle. Note that the watch does not come with the metal bracelet. The watch comes with box and papers, including a 2022 stamped Warranty Card. This watch is still under Tudor Warranty for 5 years from August 2022. The warranty is a fully transferable guarantee with no registration or periodic maintenance checks required.

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

Many see the Cartier Santos, which was introduced by Louis Cartier in 1904, as the first purpose designed men’s wrist watch. The Santos had a very revolutionary asthetic at the time it was released, with it's square case and visible screws on the bezel, it had a downrigth industrial look, during an era where that wasn't popular. Do these design elements remind you of anything? 70 years later Gerald Genta would borrow some of these design elements for the Audemars Piquet Royal Oak, a legendary watch in it's own right. The Santos has remained a mainstay in Cartier’s collection ever since its introduction more than a century ago.

This particular example is a Santos Carree from the 1980's. It measures 29mm across, and I would say it wears like a 36-38mm watch. On the wrist this watch exudes a 1980's Neo-Vintage vibe that I love. The watch falls beautifully around the wrist due to the integrated bracelet. I love how the explosed screws in the bracelet are arranged erradictly. This is very comfortable and versatile every piece that I can compare to a Rolex reference 1603. Jeans and brunch, coctail hour, business dinner, this watch just feels right at home almost anywhere.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from the 1980's and is in overall excellent condition, with some light wear on the case and bracelet. I would give the case a 9/10, with most of the wear being on the gold bezel. The bracelet is in excellent shape, having received a light polish, around 9/10 as well. The watch recenetly received a full overhaul and service by a watchmaker, and is keeping excellent time. The watch comes with box only, no papers. Please note the box is authentic Cartier but belongs to a different model.

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Rolex Datejust is a classic timepiece that has been a mainstay in the world of luxury watches for over 70 years. The first Datejust model was introduced in 1945, and it was the first wristwatch to feature an automatically changing date display. This revolutionary feature was made possible by a new self-winding movement developed by Rolex, which also allowed the watch to have a more streamlined, sleek design. The Datejust represents the spirit of the Rolex by treading that fine line between an all-out dress piece and something robust and versatile enough to be worn every day.

The Rolex reference 16XXX is a vintage Datejust that was in production from 1977 to the late 1988's. The major distinction between this reference and it's predecessor is the engine. This watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3035, an automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vph. Among watch repair circles, this movement is know to be a die-hard, bullet-proof calibre, that has a low failure rate, and is very easy to maintain. It's not uncommon for us to come across watches with this movement that were never serviced and are still keeping time to within COSC specs. Besides the movement, this reference kept the classic case size and lines of datejusts of that era.

On the wrist, this watch feels like the perfect vintage datejust. The watch also has a classic, elegant look that is timeless, making it perfect for both formal and casual occasions. This watch gives off a warm vintage vibe that you can't get from later models. The gold bezel and center links on the jubilee bracelet give it the perfect amount elegance while keeping the watch appropriate for casual use. The 36mm Oyster case is the perfect size for me, and sits well on the wrist without feeling too heavy or bulky. The jubilee bracelet is another standout feature, and is buttery-smooth on the wrist. This particular example is in excellent for its age, with a very well preserved dial and case.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is a 9.1m serial number making it a 1986 watch. This watch is in excellent condition with a very clean dial, sharp lugs, and a clean bezel. The bracelet is tight and showing very little stretch. The Rolex 3035 movement is running strong without issues. Normal wear on the case from normal use. Comes with box only.

SOLD OUT: Breitling Premier 42mm B01 Chronograph AB011 British Racing Green Dial Box Papers

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

When it was introduced in the 1940's the Breliting Premier was one of the first Breitling models made purely for civilians. The Premier model was different than the usual tool models Breitling churn out for aviatiors and divers. "Instruments for Professionals" has always been Breitling's slogan. The Premier was the first Breitling model dedicated to everyday elegance. Georges Kern, the company’s CEO, says it best: “This is the first modern Breitling collection dedicated to everyday elegance. With outstanding quality and performance, these watches bear our unmistakable brand DNA, but they have been created with a focus on style that beautifully complements their purpose”.

Among the chronographs, the Premier B01 42 is the flagship watch in the collection and is powered by Breitling’s in-house B01 chronograph calibre, which has 70 hours of power reserve. This particular watch is the Bentley Mode, and shows off a beautiful British Racing Green colour on the dial. The watch is 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm thick, 49.7mm lug to lug with 22mm spacing between the lugs. The bracelet is the classic 7 link all polished Breitling bracelet. Dial side we have that beautiful green dial, showing off two indices, one for a running seconds and one 30 minute counter.

One the wrist I would say this watch wears large, but retains comfort due to the reasonable lug to lug and the comfortable bracelet. It's big enough where you'll always know it's there, but not so big that it bothers your wrist. I don't think i could pull this watch off on a strap due to the thickness. I love the shade of green used on the dial. It's dark green or olive green depending on the lighting. The in-house B01 chronograph is a pleasure to activate. You can tell a lot of work went into these in-house movements. I would say this is a great all around Breitling sports watch, that could be worn in multiple settings, and is not too large, or too sporty unlike a lot of Breilting's other offerings.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breilting Dealer in 2020, was registered with Breitling, and is under Warranty until 2025. The watch is in overall Near Mint Condition, with minor wear, mostly on the deployment clasp (see pics). The watch comes with the full set of Box and Papers, including warranty card and extra links.

Sold Out: Rolex Datejust 41mm 126334 Box and Papers NEW 2022 18K Fluted Bezel Jubilee

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

First Introduced in 2016

The Datejust 41 was introduced at Baseworld in 2016. It replaced the Datejust II, and made some slight, but important improvements to Rolex's Datejust line. The Datejust 41 is an overall leaner watch, with a slimmer case thickness and lugs. Rolex also introduced the watch with the 3235 movement, which is a fantastic automatic calibre (more on that below).

The Perfect Watch for any Occassion

The refinements made to the Datejust 41 are only apparent when you put this watch on your wrist. It's definitely slimmer, and slightly lighter, and overall just wears better than It's predecessor. What has not changed is how versatile the Rolex Datejust is. This watch is the perfect every day watch. It's stands out just enough for office wear, and is not too big for most wrists.

In House Calibre 3235

Rolex's Calibre 3235 is an in-house automatic movement that was originally announced at Baselworld 2017. 14 patents were made to protect the technology around this movement including a Paramagnetic Oscillator with new balance staff that offers enhanced resistance to magnetism. Rolex claims the new caliber 3235 is two times more precise than an officially certified chronometer with an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day “after casing”

Wrist Impressions

In my opinion, this is the best version of the modern Datejust: Jubilee Bracelet, 18K bezel, Legible Black Dial. This watch hits all the requirements for a beautiful daily wearer.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch was purchased in late 2022 from an Authorized Rolex Dealer. The watch is BRAND NEW and is under Rolex's FULL WARRANTY. The watch comes with the full set of Box, Manuals, extra link and Warranty Card. Please note, stickers were removed at the AD and the watch was sized.

This revolutionary feature was made possible by a new self-winding movement developed by Rolex, which also allowed the watch to have a more streamlined, sleek design. The Datejust represents the spirit of the Rolex by treading that fine line between an all-out dress piece and something robust and versatile enough to be worn everyday.

The Rolex reference 16XX is a vintage Datejust that was in production from 1959 to the late 1970's. The 1603 was made during the golden-era of vintage datejusts, and has an engine-turned bezel which was eventually discontinued and replaced with the fluted bezel in later models. This reference is highly sought after by collectors and is considered one of the most popular vintage datejusts.

On the wrist, this watch feels like the perfect vintage datejust. The watch also has a classic, elegant look that is timeless, making it perfect for both formal and casual occasions. The dial on these 16XX models looks much simpler than the ones on later datejusts. Pair this with the acrylic crystal, and this watch gives off a warm vintage vibe that you can't get from later models. The 36mm Oyster case is the perfect size for me, and sits well on the wrist without feeling too heavy or bulky. The jubliee bracelet is another standout feature, and is buttery-smooth on the wrist. This particular example is really excpetional for its age, with a very well preserved dial and case.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is a 5.2m serial number making it a 1978 watch. This watch is in fantastic condition with a very clean dial, sharp lugs, and a clean bezel. The bracelet is tight and showing very little stretch and will fit up to a 7.25 inch wrist. The Rolex 1570 movment is running strong without issues. No box or papers.
