Today, we will be sending you the off-time edition of the [2023 latest edition] mechanical watches: “5 recommended models for people in their 50s.”
As men reach maturity in their 50s, their social status and personal status will increase, and many of them will become more attractive as men. At such times, the watch they wear can be a key point in how they present themselves. In recent years, due to work style reforms and the increase in remote work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which means less frequent commutes to the office, more attention is being paid to models with slightly brighter designs that are more conscious of "off time." On the other hand, with the increase in options, I think more and more people are wondering, "What kind of watch should I choose?"
So, this time, I would like to introduce 5 carefully selected models that are perfect for people in their 50s to use during their off time! Please enjoy until the end.

① [Rolex ] "Day Date" "Ref. 18038"

The Day-Date was born in 1956 as Rolex's highest-end collection.
This model is made of 18KYG (yellow gold), which was manufactured from the late 1970s to the late 1980s. The Day-Date is considered to have a special position among the many Rolex models, as it is only available in rare materials such as gold and platinum, and is equipped with a day of the week display and a special president bracelet that are not available in other models. The movement has been upgraded from the Cal.1556 to the Cal.3055, which is equipped with a quick-change function, improving usability.
Another fun element of choosing the Day-Date is the wide variety of dials. In addition to classic colors such as champagne and black, natural stones, shells, fossils, and natural wood can all have different patterns, even if they are made of the same material, so there is also the fun of searching for a unique piece. Due to the dial variations and sophisticated design, the number of people choosing the Day-Date as a Rolex option has increased in recent years. It can subtly create a mature masculine look, and the bracelet can be replaced with a leather strap, which is also recommended. It is not only an asset but also a great status symbol, so why not decorate your wrist with your favorite dial?
② [Rolex] "Daytona" "Ref. 16523"

Next up is the Daytona, which competes for first and second place among Rolex models in popularity.
We recommend the combination model with 18KYG (yellow gold) for those in their 50s. This "Ref. 16523" is a popular model that has been called the king of chronographs for a long time, with its perfect design since its introduction in 1988. The movement used is the "Cal. 4030", a brushed-up version of the "El Primero" made by Zenith, and is also widely known by the nickname "El Primero".
The combination of 18KYG (yellow gold) and SS (stainless steel) may seem flashy at first glance, but when worn by a mature man in his 50s, it is sure to bring out the charm and ease of a mature man. Another nice point is that it has a slightly less premium feel than the SS (stainless steel) model and solid gold model, so why not try a combination model that is sexy because you are in your 50s?
3. [Patek Philippe] "Calatrava Pilot Travel Time" "Ref. 7234R-001"

Next up is the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time "Ref. 7234R-001," the first automatic travel watch targeted at women, which became a hot topic at Baselworld 2018.
This model was created as a homage to the aviator watches made in the 1930s, and is a complication model that stands out from the typical dress watches of Patek Philippe, with a sporty and casual impression.
The case size of the men's model "Ref. 5524" is 42mm, but the "Ref. 7234" is a slightly smaller 37.5mm, which is a size that is comfortable for Japanese people. For this reason, it is actually a very popular model among men. The price in the secondary market is stable, and it is a watch that is attractive for its coolness that is different from the mainstream. Why not consider it as one of your options?
④ [Rolex][Rolex] "Milgauss" "Ref. 1019"

The last model we would like to introduce is the Milgauss, which is considered to be a Rolex watch for connoisseurs.
This "Ref.1019" is a long-selling model that was released in the early 1960s as the second generation and was produced for about 30 years. It is said that sales were poor at the time of its release due to its unique design, but it is now an interesting model that is being reevaluated due to its low production numbers and simple design. There are two types of dials: black and silver. There is also a rare specification called "onyx" (which does not actually use natural onyx) that is a black dial without luminous coating.
Unlike the first generation "Ref.6541" and the third generation "Ref.116400" and "Ref.116400GV", this is the only generation that does not use the lightning hands that are characteristic of the "Milgauss". The simple design means that it can be used both on and off the job, and it is one of the few watches that "anyone who sees it will know it" and shows the "attention to detail" that is unique to "50s".
summary
What did you think.
We have introduced a "tasteful model" perfect for those in their 50s who are reaching the peak of their maturity. We hear a lot of feedback from customers in their 50s, such as "a design appropriate for their age," "a weight that doesn't put strain on the arm," "simple and has the bare minimum of functions," and "no need to worry about using it." In that case, it may be best to look for a vintage or semi-vintage model.
We have knowledgeable staff on hand at all times who will provide you with advice based on design, functionality, budget, etc., so please feel free to contact us for any questions.
