Aug 6, 2017 · Jay Tray make trophy makers' trophies. A watch makes a much better trophy than an actual trophy. A watch has at least one function and you can look at it as much as you want, as long as you are wearing it. A watch doesn't have to be an expensive luxury watch, however, imo. "Why Luxury Watches Are The Best Trophies".

Sep 16, 2024 · It's hard to believe it's been ten years since the first-generation Apple Watch debuted. At first equal parts derided and celebrated, the Apple Watch has since all but taken over the world. From features like water resistance to blood oxygen tracking and car crash detection, Apple's self-described "most personal device" has evolved a lot over the years. Let's take a look at all Apple Watches ...

Cosmograph Daytona
The Daytona is to all intents and purposes the most iconic timepiece ever released. Designed for the high-stakes world of racing, it wasn’t the first tachymeter-equipped watch but this has been the most successful by far. It’s three subdial layout is instantly recognisable, as is that engraved bezel and the 4130 calibre is one of the finest chronographs out there. What really sets the Daytona apart however is who wore it: Paul Newman. The legendary Hollywood actor was the face of the Daytona,...
Submariner
The Submariner is the archetypal dive watch. It’s arguably the first true water resistant watch and, just as arguably, the watch that really put Rolex on the map. A spiritual successor to the original 1923 Oyster, when it was released back in 1953 it destroyed any and all competition. Today it’s still the reference dive watch, with all the professional touches that entails: a unidirectional rotating bezel, a rugged case and 300m depth resistance. It also happens to be one of the most versatil...
Sea-Dweller
The Submariner may have laid out the blueprint for the professional diving watch but in 1967 the Sea-Dweller pushed it to the extreme – 1,220m of extreme. Previously the Sea-Dweller range used to contain the Deepsea sub-collection but for 2024 Rolex has finally separated those watches out into a collection of their own. Which does rather leave the Sea-Dweller underrepresented with only a single model in two colourways. When it comes to the standard Sea-Dweller, in style it’s similar to the Su...
Datejust
The epitome of elegance, the Datejust is at once the paradigm of horological glamour and one of the most diverse models within the Rolex canon. First released in 1945 to celebrate the watchmaker’s 40th anniversary, it was at the time the first and only automatic watch with a date window. In the early models, that date would begin to change before midnight but since 1955 it’s been instantaneous. The modern Datejust is as glamorous as ever, available in everything from 31mm to 41mm sizes, a sur...
Day-Date
Yet another first for Rolex, the Day-Date was the first watch to showcase not only the date, but the long-form day on the dial. Released in 1956, it quickly became the Rolex flagship and just as quickly was taken up by a prestigious clientele, especially presidents. In fact, ‘President’, the name given to the Day-Date’s iconic bracelet has become the official moniker of the entire timepiece. Over the last half a century the Day-Date has barely changed. It’s now available in a larger, 40mm siz...
Lady-Datejust
All the glamour and elegance of the Datejust, downsized for a more feminine wrist. The Lady-Datejust first appeared in the 1950s and since then has been the quintessential women’s Rolex. It takes all the hallmarks of the original Datejust but compliments it with jewellery touches, such as diamond indexes, mother-of-pearl dials and smaller, more delicate features. It still has all the technical innovations of Rolex, from the various in-house precious metals and unique settings to the latest ca...
Milgauss
Unless you have a killer sound-system, magnetism isn’t something that normally comes up in everyday life. For the scientific community however, strong magnetic fields are a regular occurrence, generated by plenty of necessary equipment and around the scientifically-valuable poles. The Milgauss, as its name suggests, was built to withstand magnetic fields of 1,000 Gauss, leading to its adoption by the European Organisation of Nuclear Research, CERN. It’s by far the most modern of Rolex’s profe...
Cellini
Rolex don’t generally go in for fancy finishing or the kind of complications that Patek and Vacheron hold dear. Except, that is, in the Cellini, Rolex’s ode to a more classical school of watchmaking. Named after Italian Renaissance artist, Benvenuto Cellini, it’s the one place you can find guilloché, specifically Rayon lame de la gloire, and a moonphase. Even the watch’s fluted crown speaks of watchmaking from a time before Rolex. Over the last few years more and more Cellini models found the...
Yacht-Master II
While the Yacht-Master II is by no means the most aesthetically coherent of Rolex’s watches, it did serve an important function within the Yacht-Master line. Specifically, as a regatta timer, it justified the entire existence of a yacht and boating themed collection. Regatta timers feature a count down timer that marks the time leading up to the start of a race, allowing boats to perfectly time their starts. Now that there is no regatta timer across the yacht-master and indeed across the enti...

Sep 17, 2024 · The main difference with the new Apple Watch SE, other than having a newer processor and being available in new colors, is that Apple lowered the price. It now starts at $249. As for the made tradeoffs compared to the Series 8, the new SE still lacks the always-on display and many of the health and wellness features.
