[Celebrity Series] What kind of watches are those celebrities wearing? ~Focus on comedian "Kendo Kobayashi"~

Have you ever wanted to own a watch that a celebrity wears?

If you look closely at their wrists, you will notice that many celebrities wear top-notch luxury watches, with "stylish designs" and "luxurious, eye-catching watches."

So this time, we will focus on the wrist of Kenkoba, also known as " Kendo Kobayashi, " who is known not only as a comedian but also as one of the leading watch enthusiasts in the entertainment industry. The watches that go with American casual fashion and rugged biker style are all attracting attention for their lineup that is typical of a knowledgeable "hobbyist." Please enjoy until the end.

First one
[Rolex]
"GMT-Master II"
"Ref.16710"

The first watch we would like to introduce is the first watch that Kenkoba purchased, the Rolex GMT-Master II "Ref. 16710."

The previous model "Ref.16760" only had a "red x black" bezel color, but this model has been reissued in "black x black" and "red x blue" colors, which were already out of production at the time. As it is a long-selling model, it has undergone several minor changes, but the "stick dial" seen in 2005-2008 (serial numbers D, Z, and M) is particularly popular. In recent years, more and more people are looking for watches whose year of birth matches the year of manufacture, commonly known as "birth year watches." If you are in your late 20s to early 30s, why not choose this watch as a piece that you will own for the rest of your life?

Second one
[Tudor]
Submariner
"Ref.9411/0"

The second watch is the vintage Submariner "Ref. 9411/0", which is also affectionately known as the "Squid Needle" or "Squid Sub" due to the unique shape of its hands.

Also known as the "Blue Snowflake," this model is characterized by its square index shape, unlike other Tudor Submariners. It is equipped with a plastic flat windshield, bidirectional rotating bezel, and Cal. 2784 with quick-change and hack functions, making it a vintage model with outstanding functionality. In addition, the crown mark of the original Rolex is engraved on the crown, making it a collector's item.

3rd item: Vacheron Constantin
"Overseas"
"Ref.4500V/110A-B128"

The third watch is the Overseas Automatic "Ref. 4500V/110A-B128", which was born in 1996 based on the "Ref. 222", created to commemorate the 222nd anniversary of the company's founding.

This model, which is highly regarded among luxury watch brands as a representative of luxury sports watches, has a design that firmly inherits the brand's traditions, such as the Maltese cross, which is the symbol of the brand, on the bezel. In addition, the blue dial comes in two patterns: a matte blue with a lacquer finish and a vivid blue with a sunburst finish. The color changed around 2019, so why not try it out and see which one you prefer?

Fourth
【Tag Heuer】
"Monaco Caliber 12 Chronograph"
"Ref. CAW2111.FC6183"

The fourth is the Tag Heuer Monaco, named after the F1 circuit, Ref. CAW2111.FC6183 "

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Monaco , this watch has been equipped with a new in-house movement, Cal.12. It features a striking contrast between the blue dial, white subdials, and red second hand, and its unique shape is sure to catch your eye. The Monaco is also famous for being worn by the great actor Steve McQueen in the 1970 film Le Mans, and if you are a fan of the old days, this is an attractive watch that you will definitely want to get your hands on.

The fifth
[Audemars Piguet]
『Royal Oak』
"Ref.15400ST.OO.1220ST.01"

The last watch we would like to introduce is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 15400ST.OO.1220ST.01, which has been on the market for over 10 years and is still extremely popular even after the release of its successor.

This model, which was released in 2012, has an extremely dressy look, with a 41mm case instead of the 39mm case used since the original model, but is ultra-thin at less than 10mm thick. The movement is the famous "Cal.3120" that was released in 2003, but it also has mechanisms not found in its successor, the "Cal.4302," such as the "switching rocker type automatic winding mechanism," which is compact and resistant to wear, making it a watch with a different appeal from the current model.
