③ 【ROLEX】 "Explorer II" "Ref.226570"

 

The current Explorer II, introduced in 2021, is designed for practical use in environments where it's difficult to distinguish between day and night, such as cave exploration and polar regions, featuring a 24-hour bezel and a GMT hand. In the Ref.226570, the movement has been updated to the automatic Caliber 3285, achieving a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and high magnetic resistance. Both visibility and robustness have significantly improved.

④ 【Vacheron Constantin】 "Historiques Chronomètre Royal 1907" "Ref.86122/000P-9362"

 

This is a representative model of the Historiques collection, a modern re-issue of the masterpiece "Chronomètre Royal" released in 1907. It originated as a practical watch pursuing dust resistance and high precision, and this philosophy is strongly inherited in this model. The case is made of platinum, with a well-balanced size of approximately 39mm in diameter, and a thin design that fits very well on the wrist. The movement is an in-house manual-winding Caliber 2460SCG, achieving high precision befitting the name Chronomètre.

Its greatest appeal is the presence of the enamel dial, which differs from typical white dials. It has a ceramic-like smoothness and a deep, transparent quality, showing a soft expression depending on the angle of light. This texture possesses a special beauty that cannot be found in other materials.

Despite its simple design, the dial has the power to draw attention, truly embodying the "charm of white." This recommended timepiece exudes a distinct sense of sophistication within its understated elegance, making it suitable for long-term enjoyment.
