Today, we will be sending you the off-time edition of the [2024 latest edition] mechanical watches: "5 recommended models for people in their 40s."
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?"
So this time, we would like to introduce five carefully selected models that are perfect for off-time for people in their 40s who are full of adult charm! Please enjoy until the end.
① [Rolex ] "Daytona" "Ref. 116515LN"

Among the Daytona models, also known as the king of chronographs, the Ref. 116515LN has gained popularity due to its elegant 18K EVEROSE GOLD (Everose Gold) color.
This watch, with its stylish and chic black and pink dial coloring on an 18KERG (Ever Rose Gold) case, is still very popular even though it has been discontinued, along with the chocolate and black dial, affectionately known as "Chocolate Bra". By the way, the new "Ref. 126515LN" announced in 2023 also has the classic black dial, but the texture of the dial has changed from lacquer to sunburst bright black, and the design of the sub-dial has also been changed. Although tastes are divided, if you are looking to create a calm and mature atmosphere, we recommend the "Ref. 116515LN" introduced here.
② [Audemars Piguet] "CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Automatic" "Ref.15210OR.OO.A002KB.02"

The "CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Automatic" (Ref. 15210OR.OO.A002KB.02) was unveiled at SIHH 2019 as the first new collection in approximately 26 years, and features an eye-catching, alluring purple dial.
This watch has a beautiful contrast between the 18KPG (pink gold) case and the smoked purple lacquer dial with a sunburst pattern. The inside of the crystal (the side facing the dial) is dome-shaped, and the dial's expression changes depending on the angle and the amount of light. The middle case also features an octagonal design reminiscent of the Royal Oak when viewed from the side, making it a new design that incorporates past designs. This model is highly recommended for those looking for a special watch that combines a sophisticated, dressy look with adult sex appeal.
3. [Patek Philippe] "Calatrava" "Ref. 5196J-001"

The combination of an 18KYG (yellow gold) case and a silver dial gives the Calatrava "Ref. 5196" a simple and classic impression.
This is a popular model with the number "96" in the reference (model number), commonly known as "Kunroku", and the case material is available in 18KYG (yellow gold), 18KRG (rose gold), 18KWG (white gold), and PT (platinum). The simple dial is subtly accented with a small second hand modeled after the Calatrava cross, making this the ultimate dress watch. Unfortunately, it will be discontinued in 2022, but the sophisticated dressy look encapsulates the charm of the Calatrava. The 18KYG (yellow gold) may seem a bit assertive, but it will surely become more comfortable on your wrist as you age, so this is a model that we highly recommend to those looking for a model that will last a lifetime.
④ [A. Lange & Söhne] "Lange 1" "Ref. 101.031"

The contrast between the 18KPG (pink gold) and the black dial gives the Lange 1 "Ref. 101.031" an air of sophistication.
The Lange 1 was introduced in 1994 after the company closed its doors, as one of the four models (the Lange 1, Arcade, Saxonia, and Tourbillon) that were released as the first part of the revival collection, and its history began. This off-center design, which is beautifully arranged without overlapping, is sure to captivate anyone who sees it. In addition, the hand-wound movement Cal. L901.0, which can be viewed through the see-through back, boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, and its functionality is also impeccable. Many people may imagine a silver dial when they hear the name Lange 1, but the heavy and luxurious black color will add a stylish touch to your wrist.
⑤ [Cartier] Tank Normale "Ref. WGTA0109"

The Tank Normale (Ref. WGTA0109), released in 2023 as the seventh work from Cartier Privé, inherits the iconic design of the early Tank model born in 1917.
The model we are introducing is available in platinum (PT) and 18KYG (yellow gold), with an alligator strap and bracelet. The alligator strap is limited to 200 pieces worldwide, and the bracelet is limited to 100 pieces worldwide. In addition, the cabochon unique to Cartier is ruby for the platinum model and blue sapphire for the 18KYG (yellow gold) model, and the hands are the epee hands of the Tank Normale from the early 1940s. Incidentally, the design of the first Tank Normale was inspired by the Renault tank that was used in the trench warfare of World War I, and it was produced for only about two years, making it a very rare model. It is an attractive watch with an elegant appearance that shows off the sophistication of an adult.
