The elegant impression of this watch is achieved by using 18KPG (pink gold) for the case and bracelet, and the case thickness is kept to just 8.85mm, making it extremely comfortable to wear. Furthermore, the bewitching appearance with the rubies on the bezel and indexes is truly gorgeous! It gives you a sense of luxury that is hard to describe! In terms of functionality, it is equipped with the hand-wound movement "Cal.2924" with a power reserve of about 70 hours, and you can appreciate the beautiful movement from the 6 o'clock position on the front and the see-through back. It is a masterpiece with attention to detail using advanced technology, and it is an ultimate watch that allows you to realize that it is a special model.

Combining carefully selected materials and impeccable design, the Yacht-Master is inspired by a rich heritage and ties to the world of sailing.

The movement has been changed from "Cal.3135" to "Cal.3235", achieving a long power reserve of 70 hours, which is about twice as long as the previous model. The black x 18KERG (Everose Gold) coloring has an elegant and luxurious finish, but the Oysterflex (rubber) specification gives it a sporty impression, making it a highly versatile watch!

LeBron James is a living legend who needs no introduction.

LeBron broke the NBA's all-time scoring record of 38,387 points, held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, for the first time in 33 years. LeBron has one plan he wants to achieve before he ends his career, and that is to play with his son Bronny in the NBA. He dreams of playing together in the NBA, the world's top league... What a wonderful plan!

LeBron also owns several watches, so we'll introduce two of them here.
The first watch

This watch, with its striking, innovative design reminiscent of modern architecture, is a rare model limited to 50 pieces worldwide, announced at the SIHH held in Geneva in January 2018 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the birth of the Royal Oak Offshore. The skeleton face shows the company's high technical capabilities, and the contrast with the 18KPG (pink gold) case creates a beautiful finish. The movement is openworked to allow light to pass through, and is equipped with a tourbillon mechanism and chronograph supported by a geometric and bold bridge. Moreover, this hand-wound movement, Cal. 2947, has a long power reserve of approximately 173 hours. This is an attractive hand-wound watch, which is rare for the Royal Oak Offshore!

Next, the second watch

This watch is a different color and material from the "Ref. 26521OR.RR.1220OR.01" worn by Anthony Davis, which we introduced earlier. The combination of the blue dial and blue sapphire bezel and indexes gives it a refreshing and luxurious feel, and there is nothing to complain about in terms of functionality. It's a dazzling watch that is truly worthy of the No. 1 NBA player !
