Today we will be sending you the latest 2022 edition of mechanical watches: “Top 5 recommended models for people in their 40s.”

In your 40s, you will likely be in the prime of your life, with your social status and financial power increasing. Your adult appeal will also increase, and it will be important to present yourself with a sense of ease that matches that. At such times, the watch you wear can be a key factor in how you present yourself.

This time, we would like to introduce five carefully selected models that are recommended for people in their 40s who are full of adult charm! Please enjoy until the end.

① [Rolex ] "Daytona" "Ref. 16519"

When it comes to the iconic Rolex model, it's the Daytona. This is the first 18KWG (white gold) model of the Daytona, released around 1996. The lugs are flush-fit integrated, so it can only be worn with a leather strap. Since it is not a solid gold bracelet, it can be used daily without worrying about the weight, making it a representative luxury sports watch. The wide variety of dial variations that are not available in stainless steel models and the texture unique to alligator straps are attractive, and this model's simple black dial x 18KWG (white gold) case contrast gives it an elegant impression, and I think it can be used in business situations without being obnoxious. The secondary market price is relatively stable, and it is a recommended watch that can subtly create an adult male look.

② [Audemars Piguet] "CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Automatic" "Ref.15210BC.OO.A002KB.01"

Following the Royal Oak, Jules Audemars, and Royal Oak Offshore, the CODE11.59 was announced at the SIHH in 2019 as the first new collection in about 26 years. It is an ambitious work by Audemars Piguet that took about five years to develop, but at the time of its announcement, watch enthusiasts were divided on whether to make a dress watch now when luxury sports models are at their peak. However, as the actual model became available in the market, including the secondary market, the reviews were more favorable, and it is now as popular as the Royal Oak. This beautiful combination of smoke blue lacquer dial and 18KWG (white gold) case is one of the most popular models due to its elegance. While the Royal Oak continues to be difficult to obtain, the premium feel is kept to a minimum, and the design and presence of the watch have led to a gradual rise in market price. The sophisticated and dressy look has been highly praised by fashion industry professionals, making this a recommended model for those who are interested in a dress watch with a difference.

3. [Patek Philippe] "Aquanaut" "Ref. 5167A-001"

Next is the current model "Ref.5167A-001" with a tropical band, which was released in 2007. The Aquanaut, a luxury sports watch that is equally as popular as the Nautilus among Patek Philippe, has models with attractive designs and functions such as "chronograph" and "travel time", but I think that the three-hand model with only a date display is simple and can be used for a long time. The moderate size of the case diameter of 40.8 mm and the case thickness of 8.1 mm make it easy to wear with formal attire such as a suit, as well as casual styles on your days off. The aura that is unobtrusive yet casually emitted from the cuffs of a sharp suit is sure to attract attention from those around you. The sporty nature of the tropical band matches casual styles and will be useful in private life as well. Since there are not many of these watches in circulation, the price in the secondary market is stable, and we recommend them as a watch that makes a difference and as a watch with excellent assets.

④ [Rolex][Rolex] Explorer II "Ref. 1655"

The last model we will introduce is the Explorer II "Ref. 1655", one of the most popular vintage Rolex models. Following the lineage of the Explorer I, this is a long-selling model that was manufactured for about 13 years from around 1971 to around 1984 as a higher-end model. It was made to be used in harsh conditions such as caves and polar regions where it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, and its most distinctive features are the pencil-shaped 24-hour hand and the 24-hour scale on the bezel. It also incorporates a novel design that is different from previous designs, making it a heretical model among Rolex watches. When it was first released, sales were poor due to its unique design, and it was far from being a popular model, but its presence gradually gained recognition, and it is now one of the most popular vintage Rolex models. The square index, which is not seen in other models, is designed to display 12 hours on the inside and 24 hours on the outside. In addition, unlike the Explorer I, it also has a crown guard to prepare for exploration in the dark. There are up to five types of dials, including different fonts and logos, four types of bezels (excluding service dials and bezels), and even a rare "albino" model in which the orange 24-hour hand has faded to white over time, capturing the hearts of collectors. This model also receives many inquiries from people in the fashion industry, and the number of units in circulation is decreasing year by year, so it is expected to become even more rare and valuable in the future.
