① [Omega] "Speedmaster" "Ref.310.30.42.50.04.001"

The Speedmaster "Ref. 310.30.42.50.04.001" features a white dial and was announced as a new model for 2024 .

The white dial, designed with inspiration from the prototype of the "Alaska Project I" announced in 1969, has a beautiful glossy texture. The red color of the "Speedmaster" lettering and chronograph hands was adopted because red was used in the space suits worn by the captains at the time. It is easy to match with both casual and suit styles, is extremely practical, and maintains a stable popularity and price in the secondary distribution market, so we recommend it.

② [Credor] "Locomotive" "Ref. GCCR999"

The Locomotive was released in 1979 and was designed by the master Gerald Genta.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Credor's birth, this model will be reissued in 2024 with a limited edition of 300 pieces worldwide (200 of which are in Japan), which has generated a lot of buzz . Developed based on Gerald Genta's hand-drawn sketches, the Locomotive was named with the hope that it would be a model that would lead Credor and carry the future. The hexagonal case with a locomotive motif and the bezel with six screws are major features that are characteristic of Gerald Genta. In addition, the grayish black dial, inspired by steam locomotives, is machine-carved with approximately 1,600 lines one by one, with a delicate pattern that resembles the steam blowing out of a locomotive . The Cal.CR01, which has a special specification of gold plating and temper blue screws, is a thin automatic movement exclusively for Credor. There are only a few limited editions, and it seems that there has been less circulation recently, so I recommend it .

③ [Cartier] "Tortue" "Ref. CRWHTO0007"

In 1912, Louis Cartier created the "Tortue" watch, which was based on the motif of a turtle shell.

"Tortue" means "turtle" in French, and its greatest feature is the beautifully curved case lines designed in an era when round watches were the norm. In addition, it uses a one-push chronograph that allows you to start, stop, and reset the chronograph by simply operating the crown, and the design emphasizes the curves of the case by eliminating the push button. Incidentally, in 2024, it was reissued as the two-hand model " Privé Tortue " and "Privé Tortue Monopusher Chronograph" in 18KYG (yellow gold) and PT (platinum) cases, with a worldwide limited edition of 200 pieces.

④ [Vacheron Constantin] "Overseas" "Ref. 4520V / 210R-B967"

Next is the fourth generation Overseas, Ref. 4520V/210R-B967, which was suddenly announced in 2024 .

Although there are no major changes from the "Ref. 4500V", minor changes have been made, with the case going from 11mm to 10.69mm, the tapered bracelet giving it a sharper impression, and the rotor design being changed. In addition, the design of the accessories (box) has been changed from the model around June 2024, and for those considering purchasing the "Overseas," which tends to favor recent guarantees, this may be a point of interest for those who are considering purchasing it. Some people may be concerned about the usage scene of the rose gold case, so we would like to see the release of a stainless steel x green dial in 2025. Although the market is still limited, this model is recommended because of its excellent design.

⑤ [Patek Philippe] "Aquanaut Travel Time" "Ref. 5164G-001"

Finally, we would like to introduce the Aquanaut Travel Time, a derivative model of the Aquanaut, which was released in 2011 .

In 2016, the "Ref. 5164R" with a rose gold case was also released, but this is the first white gold model of the "Aquanaut Travel Time" that was released as a new model in 2024. The blue-gray opaline dial and tropical strap give a chic and calm impression. It is equipped with the "Cal. 26-330 SC FUS" with a second time zone display with day/night display and a pointer date function, and its beautiful finish can be appreciated from the case back. It has a sporty impression but also elegance, and is a watch that can be used both on and off, so we especially recommend it.
