Since the turn of the century, or the millennium one could say, people have acquired a special passion for sports and fitness. This transformation of sedentary, busy lifestyles into active, energetic ones is also reflected in the rise in popularity of sports watches that are not just simple instruments of timekeeping.
While chronometers and tachymeters have been common features in many watches since time immemorial, only those with the highest quality deliver a precise and perfect measurement. This is where one is advised to invest in the best luxury sports watches from renowned brands such as Rolex and Breitling. Not only do these timepieces complement one’s enthusiasm towards sport, but also aid with extreme functionality and aesthetics.
Here are five luxury sports watches for men and women which are worth their weight in gold and definitely worth an investment:
Rolex Yacht-Master II for men
Rarely has a luxury watch defined the spirit of sport and the essence of vintage as impressively as the Rolex Yacht-Master series. The Yacht-Master II, like its predecessor, is the most iconic of Rolex watches for sailors with a regatta chronograph that is built for yachting competitions. It features the trademark 904L stainless steel which is extremely resistant and highly polishable, the trademark Oyster bracelet, and calibre 4161 self-winding mechanical chronograph movement which make the watch extremely accurate.
The undisputed highlight of the watch, however, is the blue bi-directional rotatable Ring Command bezel that can track elapsed sailing time with splendid ease. The 44 mm gorgeous white dial carries a programmable countdown with mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronisation. And with a water resistance of 100 m, you never be afraid of diving in!
Rolex Yacht-Master 37 for women
Yes, the female counterpart of the legendary Rolex Yacht-Master does exist: the stunning Rolex Yacht-Master 37. Crafted with the patented 18 Ct pink gold alloy called Everose gold, this is one of the most beautiful Rolex watches for women available today. Adding to the bling, which also includes a distinctive black dial, is the superior functionality of the watch thanks to its bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel that helps in calculating sailing time.
Other grand highlights of this watch include the new Oysterflex bracelet which adds to the sporty look, and a self-winding mechanical perpetual 2236 movement. Therefore, whether you are enjoying a day out at the sea or dressing up for a gala dinner, the versatility of the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 always delivers.
Breitling Navitimer 01 for men
For men, particularly those who are involved in aviation either professionally or recreationally, no luxury sports watch collection is complete without a Breitling Navitimer 01. As part of one of the most legendary collections of Breitling, the Navitimer has evolved from the manual Venus 178 movement to the ultra-efficient certified Breitling automatic movement which can make complex calculations such as average or climbing speeds and fuel consumption. This is also aided by the trademark aviation side rule bezel, which is bidirectional rotating. The surreal deep blue dial with 46 mm case size and sapphire crystal glass stands out as the ultimate mark of timepiece sophistication.
Omega Speedmaster for women
That the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph worn by Buzz Aldrin was the first watch on the moon is testament to the legacy that any Omega watch commands. This stunning Speedmaster for women assures the same sporty performance and painfully precise accuracy, all the while taking your breath away with its ethereal looks. The history of the Speedmaster collection can be traced back to its development in 1957 as an exclusively sports and racing chronograph.
The gorgeous metallic grey bezel of this particular Speedmaster made from white ceramic is what lends it the name ‘Grey Side of the Moon’. This colour combination has been inspired from lunar dust. When it comes to utility, this model is equipped with both a chronograph and a tachymeter, while the precious stones studded on the bezel crown the enter timepiece in unmistakable glory.
Now, when it comes to experiencing and purchasing these fabled luxury sports timepieces, you can head over to reliable retailers of luxury watches such as Ethos Watch Boutiques. They have stores located across the country and boast of a great collection of the best luxury watches from all over the world.
