Part 3: Ginza Street Interviews

This is a hugely popular project where we interview people in Ginza who wear watches to introduce their watches, when they wear them, what watch they would like next, etc. We have also created a column based on the video posted on YouTube, so we hope you will take a look.

This is a collaborative project with Commit Ginza's official YouTube channel, Commit TV! Please be sure to check out Commit TV as well!

WATCH DETAILS

[ Rolex] Daytona" "Ref. 116,500LN"

Designed in 1963 to meet the needs of professional race car drivers, it is the ultimate practical watch for those passionate about driving and speed. 60 years later, it remains unrivaled among sports chronographs and continues to transcend time. The ceramic bezel (commonly known as the "Cerachrom bezel"), which is reminiscent of a plastic bezel, gives a bold impression, creating a stylish and sporty design.

[ Rolex] GMT Master II" "Ref. 126710BLRO"

Among Rolex's sports models, the pilot's watch "GMT-Master II" is equally as popular as the "Submariner." Its functionality, robustness, and instantly recognizable design have captivated people traveling the world. The red and blue bezel, characteristic of the GMT Master, affectionately known as "Pepsi," gives the design a sporty impression.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mr. and Mrs. H (father and son), thank you very much for participating in this interview. Behind the calm reason for your visit to Ginza, "I just wanted to go look at some watches," I sensed the warmth of a "watch lover" passed down from father to son. I was also very impressed by the story of how the son became interested in watches thanks to his father.

It seemed like the father was wearing a Rolex Daytona Ref. 116500LN (black) and the son was wearing a Rolex GMT Master II Ref. 126710BLRO, but the heartwarming story of how they swapped them out and are now wearing them today (laughs) was also wonderful.

The next choice is for the father to have a Rolex Datejust 36, Ref. 126234 (bright blue), and for the son to have a Rolex Daytona, Ref. 6263. Their appreciation for timeless classics and classic timepieces across generations makes this a perfect choice for the couple. If we see you in Ginza again, we'll be happy to say hello, so we hope you'll join us.
