Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!", it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.
So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 brands handled by Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) in the first half of 2024 from among multiple brands! Please enjoy reading while imagining the rankings with us.
5th place
IWC Ingenieur Automatic "Ref. IW328902"
In fifth place is the Ingenieur Automatic 40 " Ref. IW328902 " , which was a hot topic at "Watches and Wonders" in 2023 .
This is the latest generation model that inherits the style of the Ingenieur SL, released in 1976 by the master Gerald Genta, and has been updated with a number of features, including a screw-driven bezel that connects to the middle case, a sophisticated crown guard, an ergonomic exterior design, and the automatic movement Cal.32111. This distinctive dial respects the grid structure of the Ref.1832, and is composed of alternating vertical and horizontal lines shifted by 90 degrees. In addition to the silver color, it is also available in black and aqua. It combines a design from the past with a modern atmosphere, making it a must-have for fans of the past.
4th place
Zenith Chronomaster Sports "Ref.03.3100.3600/69.M3100"
In fourth place is the Chronomaster Sports "Ref. 03.3100.3600/69.M3100", released in 2021 and equipped with the El Primero, which is considered the pinnacle of chronograph movements .
This watch features a refreshing matte white dial with three striking colored subdials, a durable ceramic bezel, and a rugged SS (stainless steel) case and bracelet, giving it a bold and sporty finish. The El Primero movement visible through the see-through back is a high-beat model that beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour. It is impressive that it has a power reserve of approximately 60 hours while still allowing for highly accurate measurements in 1/10 second increments.
3rd place
Tudor Black Bay Chrono "Ref. 79360N"
Coming in third place is the popular Black Bay Chrono "Ref. 79360N" model, which features a black aluminum bezel and two counter-in-dial contrast in a "panda" color scheme.
Released in 2021, this chronograph with a rugged 41mm case has a design reminiscent of the Chronotime and Rolex Daytona. The movement is the same Cal. MT5813 as the already discontinued Ref. 79350, and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The Ref. 79360 is available in three types: bracelet, band strap, and fabric strap, but the most recommended is the versatile bracelet version. The dial color is white, commonly known as the "panda dial," and a bold black, and it is a recommended watch with a stable price.
2nd place
Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor "Ref. PFC914-1020001-100182"
In second place is the Tonda PF Micro-Rotor (Ref. PFC914-1020001-100182), designed by Guido Tereni, head of Bvlgari's watch division and one of the creators of the Octo Finissimo.
Tonda means "round" in Italian, and as its name suggests, the flowing curves of the round case create a beautiful finish. In addition, it is packed with other features that further enhance its luxury, such as fine guilloche engraving, solid gold skeleton hands, and a multi-finish bezel made of PT (platinum). With a case diameter of 40mm and a case thickness of 7.8mm, this simple two-hand model is thin and comfortable to wear, making it a versatile piece that can be worn with both casual and dressy styles.
1st place
Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 "Ref. 298600-3001"
Taking the honorable first place is the Alpine Eagle Large (Ref. 298600-3001), which pays homage to the St. Moritz, the first watch created in 1980 by Chopard co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele.
The most distinctive feature of this model is the Aletsch blue dial with galvanic processing, which is said to be inspired by the iris of an eagle . The case and bracelet are made of "Lucent Steel A223", which took four years to develop, and is about 50% harder than "316L", which is commonly used for regular SS (stainless steel). Furthermore, it is anti-allergic, so it is highly recommended for those who want to use it frequently or those who have metal allergies. Why not take this opportunity to get your hands on a luxury sports watch that combines beautiful design and practicality?
