The Rolex Explorer watch is the perfect watch for all occasions, from climbing the heights of Mount Everest to a family wedding. It is well known, that the watch was made in honour of Sir Edmund Hilary who in 1953 was the first men to reach the summit of Mount Everest and he was, wearing an Explorer wristwatch.

As the name suggests, the Rolex Explorer watch was designed to be able to withstand extreme conditions, with it’s high visibility dial and an extra strong case. The new Rolex Explorer II watch, introduced in the 1970’s, has a fourth hand, which can display a 24 hour notation of the time, fantastic for expeditions above or below ground at either end of the world, where the real time might not be so easy to guess.

The Rolex Explorer II watch, being honest, was not very popular when it was first released. However, in 1991 the re-launch of the Explorer II, with sapphire glass and the same movement as the Rolex GMT-Master II, allowed the watch to make a comeback, and the Explorer II’s popularity phenomenally increased. Some of the early models from the 50’s and 60’s can fetch tens of thousands of pounds from avid collectors.

The latest Explorer II watch is made from 904L steel, usually used in the chemical industry, where resistance against corrosion is essential. This type of steel is extremely rough, yet highly polishable. The watch is of an average size at 40mm, so would suit most wrist types. It is water resistant to 100m and has a self winding Oyster movement and is an officially certified Swiss chronometer.

In my opinion, owners of Explorer II watches appreciate the “sporty” look of the watch and the fact the watch has high durability, meaning that it can be worn every day. Most of the people I have spoken too, who actually own an Explorer II watch have had theirs for a long period of time, say 20 years, and still say that it is the only watch they will ever consider wearing on a long term basis. The Rolex Explorer II is now available with a Black or White dial

The model numbers for Rolex Explorer watches are as follows:

Rolex Explorer in steel - 114270
Rolex Explorer II with a black or white dial - 16570

Code-named “Raven”, these Breitling watches have a high-tech black and steel look.  The bracelets come in four different straps: two in Diver Pro and two in Ocean Racer, available for both the Airwolf and the Skyracer. Both watches are also available with a Stratus Silver, Tungsten Gray or Volcano Black dial.

The Breitling Airwolf watch makes the most of its exclusive SuperQuartz movement, provides a full range of functions required by professional pilots including, 1/100th of a second chronograph, alarm, countdown and a 2nd time zone. An NGV-compatible display and backlighting system enables night-time visibility, while a turbine-shaped construction on the caseback serves as a resonance chamber for the alarm and other audiable indications.

Meanwhile, the Breitling Skyracer watch is designed to be the most efficient selfwinding chronograph in its category. The 60-minute counter with central hand guarantees superior readability of any time under one hour. For longer time periods, a single two-hand counter shows both the hours and minutes. Elapsed time is read off just as you would read the time, avoiding any possible confusion.

First introduced in 1970, the Omega Seamaster 600 watch or “Ploprof” (derived from the French phrase plongeurs professionnels, meaning professional divers) was designed to withstand the pressures of the deep ocean, experienced by professional deep sea divers. This Seamaster was described as one of the most “robust and seaworthy divers’ wristwatches ever manufactured”.

In 2009 Omega is re-launching an updated version of the Ploprof, the Omega Ploprof 1200m Co-Axial Calibre 8500 Watch. As the name suggests, this watch has a water resistance of an amazing 1200m, and combines the classic design and function of the 70’s model, with the state-of-the-art Co-Axial technology. The watch has a self-winding bi-directional movement and a power reserve of 60 hours, just what professional divers need, 1200m below the surface. 

The Omega Ploprof 1200m watch, has distinctive features that make it unique from any other watch, with the overall design of the watch being dictated by two principle features. First, the screwed in crown in positioned at 9 o’clock under a protective buffer, (which is a segment of the case that separates from the main body of the watch as the crown is released) preventing accidental manipulation and freer wrist movement.  Second, the Bezel lock release button at the external 2 o’clock position, which prevents the accidental alteration of the bezel during use.  This feature is designed to be usable even whilst diving and is essential for the accurate monitoring of remaining time of the divers oxygen reserves.  The bracelet of this watch is available in a reassuringly weighty stainless steel brushed mesh “sharkproof” bracelet or on a black or orange rubber strap. It has a divers safety clasp which allows for adjustments in up to 18 positions and a gas escape value for pressure acclimatization. The “on your wrist, on your wet suit” feature includes a 26mm extension to be comfortably worn over a diving suit. 

This Omega Seamaster watch Calibre 8500, due for release in October 2009, defines the future of watch making, combining style with professionalism. It is a watch which people are already getting excited about, bearing a resemblance to its famous ancestor, carrying on the traditions of the watches robust reliability.  

Model numbers for the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 2009:

224.30.55.21.01.001 - Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m Watch Co Axial Calibre 8500 Watch (mesh bracelet)
224.32.55.21.01.001 - Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m Watch Co Axial Calibre 8500 Watch(black rubber strap)

The Breitling Emergency watch, popular with explorers and adventurers, was originally designed for pilots and aircrews and has a built in micro-transmitter which broadcasts on the 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency. Amazingly, the Breitling Emergency watch has saved an impressive 21 lives. Following an emergency situation, the user would unscrew the cap and pull out the antennae to start transmitting the emergency signal that rescuers can home in on. The watch has a 48 hour broadcast time and a range of 100 miles over flat terrain or calm seas.

The Emergency watch distress signal is related to the beacons carried aboard aircraft; technically the watch doesn’t actually trigger an alert but instead is used to help locate people in distress. In February 2009 COSPAS-SARSAT decided to phase out the 121.5 MHz emergency frequency satellite processing service for distress signals.  The Breitling Emergency watch, in common with man overboard systems and homing transmitters, will not be affected by this change and the watch remains a powerful tool for search and rescue.

The Breitling Emergency watch is available in many different variations, including yellow gold, white gold and titanium, with a choice of leather, crocodile, ocean racer and diver pro straps available. I should also mention that this watch has a water resistance of 30m when the transmitter is in operation. The watches possess Super Quartz chronograph movement, with the exception of the white gold model which uses thermo-compensated electronic chronograph movement. As well as the transmitter, this Breitling watch has a bidirectional bezel consisting of a compass scale and digital day and date programmed for 4 years.

I think you would have to agree that overall this Breitling, is an extremely impressive timepiece. This is demonstrated by its celebrity fans, which include, Tom Cruise, Mark Beaumont and most famously “born survivor” Bear Grylls. Most recently Mark Beaumont, better known as “the man who cycled the world”, has taken on a new mission, involving rowing across the Atlantic in record times. Mark endured specialised training, in not only stamina and strength, but in how to get the most out of his Breitling Emergency watch

The Omega De Ville Watch first appeared on the market in 1960 as self winding, water resistant date watches. Their dials were originally marked Seamaster De Ville. By 1967, the De Ville collection had become the largest Omega Range of watches, their popularity being because of their simplicity but varied and adaptable designs, representing watch making in its purest form.

The Omega De Ville was the first watch in the world to use Co-Axial technology, named by Omega the ‘Escapement De Ville Co-Axial’. It was developed to be used in large-scale production in partnership with British Watch Maker Dr. George Daniels. It functions by using an escape wheel with the escape pinion mounted on it co-axially, which therefore reduces friction within the movement of the watch, reducing servicing requirements and offering better timekeeping.

Omega Co Axial EscapementÂ

Today, Co Axial Escapement technology is used in a number of Omega De Ville watches including the De Ville Co Axial Chronograph watch which features self winding movement and free sprung balance. This Omega watch has a classic style with the use of modern watch technology and is even water resistant up to 100m. This model is currently available in stainless steel and red or yellow gold and on a leather strap or stainless steel bracelet

Omega De Ville Co Axial Chronograph watch, model number 4841.31.32

The Omega De Ville Chronoscope is very similar to the previous model in the way in which it functions, however, has a more modern appearance and has an even wider variety of designs. In my opinion the most unique design variation has got to be the stainless steel case on a leather croc strap and vivacious red dial. Wearing this Omega timepiece on your wrist would definitely make you stand out in the crowd. Not only does the watch look spectacular, but it incorporates the new Omega Co-axial Escapement movement.

Chopard, who have “A tradition of excellence”, began production of time pieces in 1860, and later married into the world of high jewellery in the 20th century. Chopard have become ever increasingly inspired by the sparkle of a girl’s best friend, the diamond – finding new and creative ways to incorporate nature’s oldest gemstones into their designs. Chopard believes that the radiance and colour of these fascinating gems should be able to enjoy freedom of movement within a piece of jewellery, independent from any piece of metal making up that piece of jewellery. This vision soon became a reality in the form of Chopard Happy Diamonds.

Chopard Happy Diamonds watches incorporate these moving diamonds and the Happy Diamonds Classic range of watches are perfect examples of “floating diamonds”. There are a range of designs available including 18ct white or red gold and a selection of different coloured straps and dials. The diamonds used in these Chopard watches are of the highest quality. Chopard Happy Diamonds watches have quartz movements and are cased in scratch and glare resistant sapphire crystal.

Gucci first started watch designing in the early 1970s, and soon became one of the largest watch manufacturers in the world. The Gucci watches themselves, are made in Switzerland, the home of some of the most prestigious watch brands on the market today. The Gucci watch combines modern state of the art technology with traditional watch making, therefore creating cutting-edge and up to the minute timepieces.

The Bamboo collection of Gucci watches originates from 1940s Italy when there was a shortage of materials and Gucci had to improvise by using bamboo in their fashion design instead of hard-to-come-by materials such as leather. This makes the Gucci Bamboo watches, of which there are only 4 models in the entire collection, a unique and powerful range. Crafted from genuine bamboo and then burned and bent into a bangle shape, all have bold cases and can be accompanied by diamonds.

Guccis Chiodo collection of watches is based on the design of the square head nail, used by Gucci since the 1960s. This symbols origin comes from the equestrian world and is modelled on the nails used to hold a horse shoe on a horses hoof. In the Chiodo collection you can choose from a square or round case, which can feature a luminescent mother of pearl dial. The round case watch has a nail shaped bezel and bracelet with a date indictor and is available with diamonds set on the case or the bracelet. The square version can be found in solid gold or sterling silver and, again, can feature stunning diamonds.

The ever popular IGucci displays fashion attitude, with its large double layout and digital display, as well as sporty durability, boasting a broad rubber strap. It also has an impressive in international time zone function. The IGucci conveys style and functionality and can be worn with or without diamonds, you can even switch between analogue and digital displays on the larger models.

My personal favourite Gucci watch by far comes from the Signoria range. You can choose between small and large sizes, dial style and a variety of different bracelet variations. In particular, the model with the tigers eye dial and steel-black case with steel-black and 18ct yellow gold bracelet is particularly striking, and is undeniably unlike any fashion watch on the market.Â

First we had the Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre 12, in black and blue, to get us talking Monaco watches again.  Then came the Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Steve McQueen Tag Heuer Monaco with its perforated strap and missing ‘TAG’ on the dial. Now we have a ‘two for one’ situation!

Next, let’s talk Tag Heuer Limited Edition Gulf.  Only 2500 watches have been made in the style of the Porsche Gulf 917K, driven by Steve McQueen in Le Mans with a grey, blue and orange ‘meteor’ dial. At the 6 O’clock position (above the date) is the Vintage “Gulf” logo and a stylish grey alligator strap with grey stitching.  If you’re not going to go blue dial calibre 12, then this is the next best option for those wanting a little ‘McQueen Magic’ on the wrist!  It’s looking like they will all be gone by Christmas, so I’d recommend not hanging around…

Next on the table for discussion is a former 360 concept piece, brought into realization as the TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12 LS. LS stands for Liner System and refers to the seconds counter at the 3 O’clock position which appears to be a sliding bar (but is actually a clever use of a wheel with a diagonal line on it in the movement!)  This watch has some of the futuristic sex appeal that we’ve seen on recent Grand Carrera models, yet the design is solidly chronographic and has managed to avoid becoming gimmicky and impractical. The bracelet version features an interesting micro-adjustment devise.  It’s a wheel that can be turned to adjust the fit of the bracelet instantly – a feature I’m eager to test on its September launch!  Preorders are already being taken.

Finally, I was digging around trying to get more info on the Monaco 24 Concept Chronograph (which is probably one for a year or two release date – if ever) when I discovered a January launch date scheduled for the Tag Heuer 150th Anniversary Monaco V4, which looks something like this….

This Tag Heuer watch will be released to celebrate the brands 150th Anniversary and watch making heritage.  It will feature a unique movement part driven by a ‘belt’ mechanism inspired by the V$ engine.  The case will be fashioned from Platinum, it will have a stunning presentation case and unsurprisingly will be limited to 150 pieces worldwide.  Exact numbers aren’t out yet, but the price tag is likely to be in excess of £100,000.00

If you would like more information, to purchase the limited edition Gulf, pre order the Calibre 12 LS or want to be the first to hear more about the V4…then email [email protected] complete our online enquiry form, call on 01524 381020 or use Boldchat.

Watches from Tag Heuer are renowned for their sport and chronograph watches, not forgetting the Tag Heuer Monaco watch worn by Steve McQueen in Le Mans in the 1969 blockbuster. However, I feel that not enough emphasis is put on the ladies collection of Tag Heuer Aquaracer watches that happen to be stunning, fashionable and most of all, a fine Swiss timepiece.

The Tag Heuer Aquaracer watch, model number WAF1414.BA0823 is a divers watch, which has battery quartz movement, in common with a number of other Tag Heuer Aquaracers. To add to the femininity of the watch, the dial is white mother of pearl and boasts super scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass. It has date and calendar functions and is water resistant up to 300m. This model combines sport and elegance, so perfect for keeping track of a hectic lifestyle. Designed specifically for divers, this ladies Aquaracer is durable and well as a striking timepiece.

The Tag Heuer Women's Aquaracer Diamond Accented watch, model number WAF141B.BA0813, has a slightly more striking design with more feminine features. It has a pink mother of pearl dial, which is set with 10 diamond hour markers, not forgetting the stationary diamond enhanced bezel. The water resistance and durability of this watch is similar to that of the previous model (WAF1414.BA0823).

If you are thinking of buying one of these Tag Heuer Aquaracer watches I would highly recommend them. They are sustainable and sturdy as well as being an exquisite wristwatch. Personally I would choose the Diamond encrusted version of the watch, purely because of the pink dial and the diamonds, as after all, diamonds are a girl's best friend! Many believe that a watch is built to last a life time, and if that is what you're looking for, definitely consider the Tag Heuer Aquaracer collection.
