NEW: Watch Style Guide

First of all: I wish everybody a happy new year and may all your wishes come true!! We are in a new year so I taught it would be nice to introduce a new topic to the visitors. Once per month we present a Watch Style Guide. This is a guide for people who don’t know what to wear at what kind of occasion or people who just like to know what’s 'hot'. We have several categories: Sports watches, Business watches, Ultimate lady watches and several others. Today we start with the Sports category. Out of each category we select three timepieces.

With the sports category we could better say spare time: when you’re not working or at a special occasion like black tie dinner, Oscars, music awards etc. This means the watch has to be shock resistant, water resistant and the movement has to be okay while you’re doing activities. The timepieces are carefully chosen by watchfanatics.



The first watch is the Zenith Defy Xtreme El Primero. We chose this watch because its 1000 meter water resistant, has sapphire glass and a special shock absorption process (see post > special: Zenithium), option: carbon bezel (so the damage level is low. Watch on the picture has a carbon bezel), crown is protected and it has a nice titanium bracelet and case. Because of the titanium the weight of this watch is okay, its light but still big . This combination is nice to wear and nice to see. The second watch is the Breitling Avenger Seawolf. This watch is 3000 meter water resistant, has an sapphire glass and a brushed steel case. Because the case is brushed you don’t see many scratches when you’re doing activities. Also the option of a diver pro bracelet is nice. The third watch is a diver watch. The IWC Aquatimer 2000. This watch is 2000 meters water resistant, has an sapphire glass and it has an bracelet quick chance system. And last but not least an unidirectional rotating bezel made of yellow and black PVD-Steel with super luminova.
There is a big price difference between these three watches. The Zenith watch is the most expensive and starts at €16.500 euro, the IWC Aquatimer serie starts at €3.540 euro and het Breitling Avenger Seawolf is €2.940 euro.
