[2024 Edition] Mechanical Watches "Top 5 Recommended Models for People in their 20s" Off-Time Edition

Today, we will be sending you the off-time edition of the latest 2024 edition of mechanical watches: "Top 5 recommended models for people in their 20s."

Due to work style reforms and the increase in remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which means less frequent commutes to the office, more attention has been paid to models with bright designs that are more suitable for "off time." On the other hand, the increase in options has left many people wondering, "What kind of watch should I choose?"

So, this time, we would like to introduce five carefully selected models that are perfect for off-time for people in their twenties who are not only active in society but also have fulfilling private lives! We hope you will enjoy reading until the end.

① [Rolex ] "GMT Master" "Ref. 16710"

The first-generation GMT-Master II, Ref. 16710, was produced from around 1988 to around 2007.

It's still fresh in our memory that the red and black two-tone bezel, commonly known as "Coke", was a hot topic as it was thought that it would be Cerachromized and released as a new model in 2024. When the "Ref.16710" was first released, the lineup was actually only this "Coke", and it is surprising that a red and blue bezel called "Pepsi" and a black bezel were added around 2000. In addition, the "Coke" bezel-equipped model "Ref.16760" is also known as "Fat Lady" and is loved by enthusiasts, so it can be said that this coloring is deeply rooted in the history of the "GMT Master". Furthermore, considering the era in which the "Ref.16710" was manufactured, it is also a nice point that it may be a birth year watch for people in their 20s. It seems that there are fewer and fewer units in circulation every year, so why not get one now?

② [Rolex][Rolex][Rolex][Rolex] "Submariner" "Ref. 116613LB"

The Submariner is synonymous with diver's watches and is one of the most popular Rolex models across all generations.

This is commonly known as the "blue sub" and is one of the most popular combination models among the many available. Although the combination with yellow gold can be a little gaudy, the combination with blue creates an exquisite balance and a refreshing impression. The reason we recommend the "Ref.116613LB" this time is because the letters on the dial are gold and it is the last 40mm size. Preferences are divided, but the successor model "Ref.126613LB" announced in 2020 has white letters and a brushed-up case diameter of 41mm. The power reserve of the "Cal.3135" is about 48 hours, while the "Cal.3235" is about 70 hours, so there is a difference in convenience, but it is the last gold letter model and is one that we would definitely recommend. In addition, what's interesting about the "Ref.116613LB" is that the early models produced had matte dials (later models had sunray-finished dials), which may be the charm of this model.
