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 30s."
With the increase in remote work due to work style reforms and COVID-19, people are now commuting to the office less frequently, and more attention is being paid to models with bright designs that are more suitable for "off time." While freedom has increased, the number of options has also increased, leaving more people wondering, "What kind of watch should I choose?"
This time, we would like to introduce five carefully selected models that are perfect for off-time for people in their 30s who are in the prime of their working lives and have fulfilling private lives as well! We hope you will enjoy reading to the end.
① [Audemars Piguet ] "CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Automatic" "Ref.15210CR.OO.A002KB.01"

At SIHH 2019, CODE11.59 was announced as the first new collection in approximately 26 years, following the Royal Oak, Jules Audemars, and Royal Oak Offshore.
This is a combination model with a beautiful sunburst patterned gray lacquer dial and a chic combination of 18KWG (white gold) and 18KPG (pink gold). The most attractive feature is the octagonal middle case reminiscent of the Royal Oak, which is made of 18KPG (pink gold). It is still difficult to obtain at authorized dealers, but the premium feel is less than it was at one time. This model is recommended for those who are interested in a dress watch with a unique character that combines a sophisticated dressy look with a sporty impression.
② [Audemars Piguet] "Royal Oak Automatic" "Ref. 15450SR.OO.1256SR.01"

[Audemars Piguet] The Ref. 15450SR.OO.1256SR.01 was announced at SIHH in 2012 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Royal Oak.
The case diameter is a little small at 37mm, so it is easy to wear on the wrist for Japanese people. This popular combination model is made of SS (stainless steel) and 18KPG (pink gold). It combines luxury and elegance, and the pink gold hands and applied indexes are one of its essences. With summer approaching and the season of lighter clothing, it will be a gorgeous addition to your wrist. This is a recommended watch for those looking for a slightly different Royal Oak.
➂ [Cartier] "Tortue" "Ref. W1531851"

The Tortue "Ref. W1531851" has an attractive, unique case shape that gives it a soft impression.
This simple two-hand model features Cartier's unique Roman indexes, railway minutes, and beautiful crown decoration, giving it a classical impression but also making it easy to match with casual styles. The Privee Tortue Monopusher Chronograph, limited to 200 pieces worldwide, was announced at "watch and wonders" in 2024, and you may still remember it. By the way, this "Tortue" is a watch created by Louis Cartier with a turtle shell motif, and the model name means "turtle" in French. It is a slightly unusual and historic model designed in an era when round watches were the norm, so it is a dress watch that we recommend for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
④ [Rolex][Rolex] "Daytona" "Ref. 16518"

The first alligator strap model of the Daytona, Ref. 16518, was released around 1991.
The lugs are flush-fit integrated, so this watch can only be worn with a leather strap, and since it is not a solid gold bracelet, you can use it daily without worrying about its weight. In addition, although it has an 18KYG (yellow gold) case, the white dial with Arabic numerals gives it a casual feel, and it is sure to be useful in a variety of places. The Daytona, equipped with El Primero, has a stable secondary market price, so it is a recommended watch that is easy to use and has good asset value.
summary
As this is an off-time edition, I have introduced many combination and solid gold models, but some of you may think that they are too early for someone in their 30s. However, when you try them on, they are not as flashy as you might imagine, and instead give off an air of adult sophistication, so why not give them a try? Our store has knowledgeable staff on-site, so we will be happy to give you advice based on design, function, budget, etc. Please feel free to contact us!
Once again, I hope this article helps you find your favorite one.
see you!
