My Top 5 Watches of 2017!
( Photo Gallery at Bottom of Article )
1. Tudor Black Bay Chronograph
The tudor black bay chronograph was a watch that initially stunned the public as an ugly odd looking watch when it was first unveiled at baselworld in 2017. After some research and hands-on experience with the watch I found myself to quite like the odd aesthetic of a daytona mixed with a blackbay running a modded Breitling B01 movement with tudor finishing, a new rotor, and silicon hairspring. It is certainly not for everyone but once on wrist I can definitely say I have added this to my list of purchases for 2018.
2.Rolex Skydweller Steel
The Rolex Skydweller in steel was a first for the Rolex brand as it took an originally solid 18K gold model and transformed it into steel besides a 18K gold bezel and dropped the price significantly. This allows watch enthusiasts to own this complication for a cheaper price and will definitely help move these through Authorized dealers with ease compared to the original solid gold versions with very high retail prices.
3. Seiko SLA017
The Seiko SLA017 was a watch I was really surprised by. Seiko actually went back in time to their original roots in dive watch making and grabbed the iconic 6217 design and re issued the watch with modern materials. Although the watch is definitely overpriced in my humble opinion it still flew off shelves and sold out very quickly.
( $3400 - 2000 PCS )
4. Tag Heuer Autavia
The Autavia which is a very popular and expensive vintage option for a HEUR enthusiast made a comeback this year and I really loved the overall outcome. This was the first time Tag Heuer allowed the consumer to vote on a design and put it into production. It runs a reliable Heur-02 in-house movement with a power reserve of 75 hours along with a vertical clutch and column wheel chronograph. This is all on display through the exhibition caseback.
5. Zenity Defy El Primero
Six months after production under direction by Jean Claude Biver the Defy came to life. The watch breaks boundaries beating at 360,000 BPH but is still
built on the classic El Primero platform. This new enanced movement allows time to be measured up to the 1/100th of a second. This was a bold move for Zenith and I see great things coming for 2018 from this company.
Pricing is $9,600 for the titanium case and closed dial, and $11,600 for the open worked, ceramicized aluminum configuration
