The Rolex Submariner is one of those watches that truly deserves the title of icon. It remains the benchmark of diving watches and a truly special Rolex to own. There are quite a few exceptional models in the rich history of the Submariner, often made for a limited period or in very low quantities, of which this reference 5513 “Meters First” is one.

Antonio Brown is a respected veteran within the NFL, starting in 2010 at the Pittsburgh Steelers and currently playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also won the Super Bowl for the 2020 season with this team, scoring the third touchdown of the final game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Known for his distinct style and eye for quality, it is no surprise that Brown teamed up with Skeleton Concept, the French Haute Horlogerie atelier. Together, they dreamed up a unique customization launched today as the Antonio Brown Concept and based on the Rolex Submariner ‘Hulk’ 116610LV.

Rarely has a name of a timepiece been more appropriate than with the Rolex Yacht-Master, because if you own a yacht, this is the watch to wear. While deeply rooted in Rolex’s sailing heritage, a field in which they have been active since the 1950s, it was first launched in 1992. Right from the start, it held a unique position as it combines the tool watch look of the Submariner with a generous dash of elegance. This resulted in a tempting sports watch that has been one of the pillars of the Rolex collection ever since.

Owning a rare watch of exquisite quality is one of life’s true pleasures. Most of these watches have been made by brands with a history spanning decades, if not centuries. This gives it quite a bit of pedigree, but if the previous owner of such a watch was also a well-known celebrity, its appeal increases on all levels.

With Rolex, the revolution is always an evolution. It what the brand does best and has made it a gold standard within the world of luxury goods. The Covid-19 pandemic made it unsure if Rolex would introduce any new models in 2020, but fortunately, they did, and they are phenomenal.

When it comes to Rolex’s sports watches, the focus is often on their famed Daytona, GMT-Master, Explorer of Submariner, rather than the Yacht-Master. Even today can the Yacht-Master be considered a new kid on the block, as this model wasn’t introduced until 1992 and doesn’t have such a long history as the other Rolex sports models mentioned. Some refer to it as the Submariner’s casual sibling, and there is some truth to this. While visually, it has some similarities, there are also differences. The 60-minute graduated bezel is bidirectional, and Yacht-Master is ‘only’ waterproof to 100 meters. In effect, this makes it the perfect watch for people who enjoy all kinds of water sports but don’t scuba dive.

It might be a cliche, but a watch is one of the best gifts to give dad for father’s day. It combines practical and sentimental values and will provide him with joy whenever he is wearing it. Which watch to get dad depends very much on what style your dad prefers and what he enjoys doing. The following four might give you some inspiration on what to get for that important man in your life.

If I had written this article a couple of years back, I would have said that green was a trend color, but this is not the case anymore. Many brands have not only adopted green as a staple color within their collection but also make many different types of watches with this color. From classic dress watches and utilitarian pilots to diving watches and sporty chronographs, green is here to stay, and what better day to wear a green watch than on St.Patrick’s Day?

Staying power is something that every watch brand hopes for when they launch a new model. Achieving this is far more complicated than it might seem at first. Many new models will be tweaked in their design within a relatively short period after their launch, while others ride a wave of fashion only to be discontinued as this wave is taken over by another one. Only with a rare few, the passing of time doesn’t seem to get a hold of them. They have become icons for their respective brands, and benchmarks for the rest of the industry. But that doesn’t mean that they did it by merely being idle.

Few things are as fiercely collected as vintage Rolex. The demand for these watches has been on the rise for quite some time now and has resulted in many record-breaking auction results. The appeal of a vintage Rolex cannot only be found in their high build quality, timeless design, and excellent pedigree, but also in the fact that many of their models have become benchmarks within the industry in their respective categories. That makes vintage Rolex in general, and the following four especially, to die for.

When it comes to watches, we tend to focus on the movement and its complications. While this is indeed often the reason why we buy a particular watch, a good bracelet, when it is of course fitted with one, can also have a substantial impact on how we enjoy it in day to day life. It should not only firmly yet comfortably secure the watch on our wrist, but it should also match its style. Designing and creating such a bracelet is not an easy task, yet these four brands nailed it.

For five decades, the Sea-Dweller has been one of Rolex’s toughest tool watches. Equipped with a helium escape valve (HEV) and water resistant to 4,000 feet (1,220 meters), Rolex’s professional saturation diver’s watch was exclusively built in stainless steel.

Style without substance is pointless, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t put any efforts in the way you dress and look. Dressing well is a sign of respect, towards others, but also yourself. This is also not necessarily always in a suit or a tie, as in today’s world you can be just as professional in a more casual outfit. Of course, your watch game has to be on point, but with the four watches below that is not a problem.
