The rainy season, when rainy days become more frequent.
Many people may feel uneasy about the water resistance of their luxury watches. However, if you choose a tough luxury watch with excellent water resistance and robustness, you can enjoy wearing it "without worrying" about the weather.
This time, we will introduce six highly water-resistant models that combine asset value and practicality, which are sure to be a great success not only during the rainy season but also in the upcoming summer season. Please enjoy until the end.
1. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref. 15720CN.OO.A002CA.01
◇ Watch Features and Recommended Points ◇
A special 'Offshore Diver' announced in 2021 as a limited edition of 300 pieces worldwide, combining a white gold case and a black ceramic bezel. It boasts 300m water resistance and adopts an original mechanism that operates the inner rotating bezel with the crown at 10 o'clock. The Mega Tapestry dial and rubber strap are also an excellent match. Equipped with the in-house automatic Cal. 4308, it maintains high water resistance despite having a see-through case back. It is a top-class sports watch that is luxurious yet does not need to fear rainy days at all.

2. Rolex Sea-Dweller Ref. 16600 N-serial
◇ Watch Features and Recommended Points ◇
The "Ref. 16600," manufactured from the late 1980s to around 2008, is also highly regarded as a semi-vintage piece.
This N-serial (manufactured around 1991) model, if it retains its tritium lume, offers the enjoyment of watching it age beautifully. Developed as a higher-end model than the 'Submariner,' it boasts 1220m water resistance with a helium escape valve on the side of the case. The clean crystal without a Cyclops lens (magnifying glass for the date) enhances its tough impression. Despite its exceptional robustness, the case diameter of 40mm is more manageable than current models, fitting neatly under shirt cuffs on rainy days.

3. Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16610LV M-serial
◇ Watch Features and Recommended Points ◇
The so-called "Lime Green/Green Sub," introduced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 'Submariner'.
The M-serial (manufactured around 2007-2008) is a later model with a roulette engraving. As the epitome of dive watches, its robust 300m water resistance, thanks to the Triplock crown, provides absolute peace of mind for heavy rain during the rainy season and all water-related activities. Even under the gloomy, cloudy skies of the rainy season, the vibrant green aluminum bezel, Rolex's corporate color, beautifully adorns your wrist.

4. Vacheron Constantin Overseas Automatic Ref. 4520V/210A-B483
◇ Watch Features and Recommended Points ◇
The new "Ref. 4520V" debuted in 2023.
While retaining the design of its predecessor (Ref. 4500V), the case thickness has been reduced, further improving the bracelet's comfort. Despite being a luxury sports watch from one of the "Holy Trinity" brands, it boasts 150m water resistance, a screw-down crown, and 25,000A/m magnetic resistance. The black dial exudes a sophisticated adult allure. Thanks to the interchangeable system, you can swap between the included rubber and leather straps without tools. Its versatility makes it appealing for rainy days, allowing you to easily switch to the rubber strap and "wear it without worries."

5. Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea Challenge Ref. 126067
◇ Watch Features and Recommended Points ◇
Rolex's first commercial full-titanium (RLX titanium) watch, suddenly announced in 2022.
It boasts an overwhelming presence with a case diameter of 50mm and a thickness of 23mm. Born from the challenge of reaching the deepest part of the Mariana Trench, this ultimate Deepsea boasts an extraordinary 11,000m water resistance. It is impossible for any rain or sea on Earth to threaten this watch's water resistance. Despite its enormous appearance, the use of ultra-lightweight titanium significantly reduces the burden on your wrist, even for daily use.

6. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3 Ref. 5901-5630-NANA
◇ Watch Features and Recommended Points ◇
The "Act 3," released in 2023 as a limited edition of 555 pieces worldwide to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 'Fifty Fathoms'.
It perfectly reproduces the military model (MIL-SPEC) supplied to the US Navy in the 1950s. It features a unique "Bronze Gold" case material. Unlike regular bronze, it is resistant to discoloration even when in direct contact with the skin, combining the beauty of aging with an elegant sheen. In addition to 300m water resistance, it also faithfully reproduces the "moisture indicator" at 6 o'clock, which changes color if moisture enters the case. With a vintage-style NATO strap, it can be worn comfortably even on rainy days.
