Summer is in full swing. It’s a time of year where life is a little more laid back and low key. This season is the one where we allow ourselves a much-deserved mid-year vacation and opportunities to enjoy more time outdoors, even in our own backyards. Summer is the perfect time to reenergize yourself for the remainder of the year and the crunch of third and fourth quarter. If you haven’t treated yourself yet this season, consider doing so by adding a handsome new watch to your collection. A watch makes a great partner for any summer adventure. Plus, when fall rolls around, an impressive timepiece is the ideal companion for an important board meeting or business trip. Here, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite models from our summer sale.
The Rolex GMT Master is the ultimate watch for any jetsetter. The model was originally designed in the 1950’s, during the era when transcontinental travel was first taking off. It’s thoughtfully composed dial allows you to read the time in several time zones simultaneously, making it a great option whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure.
The iconic Speedmaster in our summer sale will forever be known as the Moonwatch after making history in 1969. That year, Buzz Aldrin became the second man to set foot on the surface of the moon wearing the model. This limited edition variation features a unique panda dial with a white face contrasted by black registers. The uncommon design elevates and already distinct model with a fun twist.
The Datejust is the modern archetype of the classic watch. It’s instantly recognizable as a Rolex with the brand’s signature Jubilee bracelet, water resistant Oyster case, fluted bezel, and Cyclops lens over the date window. This model will perfectly punctuate any outfit in your summer wardrobe and serve you equally well all year round.
If your next summer vacation involves a body of water, look no further than the Tudor Pelagos. This is the ultimate modern dive watch. It features a durable yet lightweight titanium case and boasts water resistance up to 500 meters. Whether you’re a diver, surfer, or sailor, the Pelagos is an awesome option wherever the waves take you.
The Master Ultra-Thin Moon seamlessly embodies the core of what makes Jaeger LeCoultre a leading luxury brand. This sophisticated and refined dress watch features a moon phase indicator surrounded by a unique, concentric date display. It perfectly pairs with a linen suit at a Parisian beach in the summer or a tux at a black tie fundraiser in the fall.
If you’re just starting to grow your watch collection, the Bell & Ross Vintage Heritage Chronograph BR126 would make a handsome addition. Though the model is one of the entry level pieces for the brand, it doesn’t skimp on superb design. As the name indicates, its vintage-inspired design gives it a distinctly retro look that will instantly make it feel like an old-standby in your collection.
