Our store, Commit Ginza, has a "Favorites" feature on its website that allows customers to register their favorite products. This is a feature that is now being introduced on many websites, but it is a feature that has been very well received by our customers, and many of them have registered with our store.
However, this type of data is not generally made public, so it may be impossible to know which models are actually in high demand at the moment.
Therefore, we would like to publish the top 5 favorite models in a ranking format titled [March 2025 Latest Edition]. We hope that this will be a useful insight for identifying models with high actual demand. Please enjoy until the end.
5th place
[Rolex] "Submariner Date" "Ref.16808" 18KYG Blue Dial
In fifth place is the semi-vintage model "Submariner" Ref. 16808 , a popular representative model of diver's watches .
This watch has a gorgeous combination of an 18KYG (yellow gold) case, bracelet, blue bezel, and dial, and the look varies depending on the era, with dials that have aged to a purple color known as the "violet dial," dials with a strong blue color, and barnacle dials with protruding indexes. Many people are looking for this watch, especially in the summer, and it often sells out quickly even when it arrives, so if you are looking for one, the winter season may be the best time to go.
4th place
[Omega] "Seamaster 300 Specter" "Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001" SS Black Dial
In fourth place is the limited edition Seamaster 300 Spectre (Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001) model based on the 2015 film "007 Spectre."
Although the number of units sold is large (only 7,007 pieces), it is the first commercially available model in the history of the "007" series to be worn by James Bond in the film, and as such, it has a strong following. The case back is designed with a serial number and the "007" logo, and it also comes with a NATO strap, which is synonymous with James Bond, making it a model that fans will drool over. It is one of the most popular models in the "Seamaster" series, and there are fewer and fewer of them on the secondary market every year, so we have received many requests from people who want to get their hands on it.
3rd place
[Rolex] "Submariner Date" "Ref.1680" SS Black Dial
Coming in third place is the Ref. 1680 , the first Submariner model to feature a date display, which was produced from around 1969 to the mid-1970s .
This is a popular model known as the "Red Sub" because the "SUBMARINER" markings are in red. The dials range from MK1 to MK6, and are deep models with dials that become tropical over time. In particular, the feet-first models found in MK4 to MK6 have faded bezels and ghosted bezels over time, giving them a unique atmosphere not found in current models. It seems that there are fewer good ones available every year, so we recommend getting one early.
2nd place
[Patek Philippe] "Calatrava" "Ref. 6119G-001" 18KWG Gray Dial
In second place is the Calatrava "Ref. 6119R-001," which was released in 2021 and draws on the design of the "Ref. 5119" but has a larger case diameter of 39mm .
This watch has a Clous de Paris (hobnail pattern) bezel, applied gold applied indexes, dolphin hands, and vertical satin finish, giving it the elegant impression of a Calatrava. By eliminating all unnecessary elements, it is not only simple and beautiful, but also carefully crafted with no compromises in the details. Although it is a current model, you can enjoy a classical atmosphere, making it a timeless piece. With its chic design and moderate size, it is sure to be a great addition to any business scene. It also adds elegance to your outfit even when worn with a casual style, making it a truly versatile dress watch .
1st place
[Patek Philippe] "Calatrava" "Ref. 5196J-001" 18KYG Silver Dial
Taking the honorable first place is the Calatrava "Ref. 5196J-001," which features a combination of an 18KYG (yellow gold) case and a silver dial that gives off a simple and classic impression.
This is a popular model with the number "96" in the reference (model number), commonly known as "Kunroku", and the case material is available in 18KYG (yellow gold), 18KRG (rose gold), 18KWG (white gold), and PT (platinum). The simple dial is subtly accented with a small second hand modeled after the Calatrava cross, making this the ultimate dress watch. Unfortunately, it will be discontinued in 2022, but the sophisticated dressy look encapsulates the charm of the Calatrava. The 18KYG (yellow gold) may seem a bit assertive, but it will surely become more comfortable on your wrist as you age, so this is a model that we highly recommend to those looking for a model that will last a lifetime.
