Nautilus by Patek Philippe
Patek Philippe, in accordance with company philosophy, now restricts production numbers, so that wristwatch lovers who have a taste for the exclusive need patience and luck before they can become the proud owners of a 43 mm steel Referenz 5711 for about 15.000 Euro. The watch’s sapphire glass face allows a view of the automatic mechanism inside.
Speedmaster Professional by Omega
This was a run-of-the-mill 1957 Speedmaster Professional chronograph watch by Omega till the US space organization NASA bought it on September 29, 1964, tested it and finally named it the official astronaut’s wristwatch in early 1965.
This turn of events took the watch to man’s first landing on the moon on July 21, 1969, and over a span of 51 years its sales totalled half a million. For moonstruck buyers, the watch is available in its near-original form for about 3.300 Euro.
Tangente by Nomos
The design of Nomos’s Tangente, introduced to the public in 1992, is reminiscent of the Bauhaus era of the 1930s. The model won several awards and saw steadily rising sales. For cost-conscious watch purists, the Tangente, with its fine mechanism, is spot on. Made by the small manufacturing firm in Glashütte, the watches in high-grade steel begin at 900 Euro.
Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre
Reverso’s history began in 1931, when polo-playing British officers in India complained about crystal glass watch faces that tended to crack. The reversible wristwatch solved their problems thanks to sapphire glass.
After a hiatus of several years, in about 1983, the Reverso once again became the uncontested leader of the collection. A total of over half a million Reverso watches were produced and sold, the Reverso Squadra specifically targeting female customers. Prices run about 4.950 Euro, in either the automatic or quartz versions.
Santos by Cartier
Louis Cartier was, indeed, a genius at designing. When his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, the “pioneer of aviation,” requested that he create an aviator’s wristwatch, Cartier took on the challenge.
While Santos was creating aviation history in the early 1900s, Cartier produced the first aviator’s wristwatch: quadratic, with rounded edges and raised glass frame, features which allowed more flexibility for the design of the strap, now no longer bound to the conventional round shape of watch faces. Now over 100 years old, the steel Santos 100 LM is available in its original dimensions for about 4.200 Euro.
Navitimer by Breitling
Breitling’s Navitimer has little to do with the navy.
Its name derives from the mechanical synthesis of a chronograph and navigation computer systems to calculate fuel use and distance, used by De Havilland Comet, the world’s first commercial jetliner, in it its flight from London to Johannesburg. The same synthesis lies at the heart of the Navitimer Montbrilliant, available for about 3.500 Euro.
Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet
In 1972 Audemars Piguet dared to price a steel sports watch higher than classic models made with massive gold. Not surprisingly, Royal Oak was not an immediate success.
Slowly and steadily, however, it became a cult model that dominated the collection. Audemars Piguet has, in the meantime, sold 200.000 men’s watches, and an increasing number of women’s watches. The original steel “Jumbo,” with two hands and a diameter of 36 mm, appeals first and foremost to watch purists. It costs about 14.000 Euro.
