Something that is not affected by trends or circumstances = "classic"
When you hear the word "classic" in fashion terms, you probably think of something basic or something that is imbued with the brand's identity.
So, what about "standard items"?
The first item that comes to mind for me is denim .
Denim has been a huge trend in the global fashion scene, and has become an indispensable item in modern fashion, transcending today's trends and styles. As a representative of men's wardrobe essentials, denim is sure to continue to be an immortal fashion item in the future.
So, this time, we will introduce you to some recommended watches that go well with denim, with the theme of denim and watches. Please read to the end.
The perfect combination of denim and watches
It goes without saying that denim is a fashion item, but it is a well-known fact that it was originally created as workwear. Denim has evolved from workwear into fashion, and today, maison brands are producing luxury denim, with materials and processing techniques being updated. Various types of denim have appeared, such as three-dimensionally cut denim that makes your legs look beautiful and stretch denim that feels like a sweatshirt, and sustainable denim has also been a hot topic recently.
On the other hand, wristwatches are often thought of as classic tools cultivated by a long history and tradition, but technological innovations in materials and cutting-edge technology have led to the creation of watches with high accuracy and functionality.Watches that inherit history and tradition while updating to modern values have strong fashionable elements and many modern designs.

Denim and watches, which evolve and update with the times, go well together in that sense, and are a must-have item that continues to be loved as a classic with stable demand. Furthermore, it is no exaggeration to say that classics become even more valuable in these changing times.
Recommended watches that go well with denim
Now, let's take a look at some watches that go well with denim from the extensive lineup at Commit Ginza, from new models to vintage pieces.
There are many different types of denim, but here we will introduce recommended models using the classic " blue denim ," " black denim ," and " white denim " as examples.
"Blue denim" x "Diver's watch"
For the tough, masculine look of blue denim, we recommend a diver's watch, which is extremely robust and durable. Blue denim, especially in the summer, is perfect for a marine style with its salty scent. Among them, Panerai's Submersible, with its blue dial, completes the summer denim style.
This is the world's first model with a case made of BMG-TECH™, a special glass-like alloy (bulk metallic glass) that has its roots in a watch made for the Egyptian Navy in 1956 and which Panerai has been researching into design and new materials for many years. This material is stronger and lighter than steel, making it an innovative model.
"Black denim" x "dress watch"
Black denim gives off a cool yet minimalist impression. A dress watch is recommended for black denim, which brings out the sexiness of adults and completes a stylish look.
Among them, the "Calatrava" by Patek Philippe, which can be said to be a classic "dress watch", is a classic round wristwatch with its pure beauty of form, and is a model that exudes timeless perfection and sophisticated elegance, making it an excellent match.

The social situation surrounding luxury watches has changed dramatically in recent years, and it is an undeniable fact that prices, designs, and functions are constantly being updated, but on the other hand, it is the nature of men to be attracted to so-called classics. It is also right to come full circle and realize the good points of classics.
"White denim" x "Luxury Sports Watch"
White denim has a refreshing and elegant feel and is perfect for summer denim styles.
For such "white denim", we recommend the Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet, a representative of "luxury sports watches". This one in particular is a rare discontinued 36mm white dial specification. It will complete a stylish style by putting together an all-white summer "white denim".
The dial is the final model of the short bar type. It is a model that is hard to find. In addition to the small 36mm case, it is equipped with the movement "Cal.2225" based on the LeCoultre caliber, and one of its charms is that the case thickness is kept to about 8mm.
summary
That's all, what do you think?
[Denim] and [watches] are both essential wardrobe items for men. However, I think that many people are gradually changing the way they approach these two "eternal staples."
More than a year has passed since we started living in the new normal, and our sense of ethics regarding luxury goods has changed, which has also affected our choice of watch. That's why we want to wear good quality items and enjoy the best "watch life."
Once again, I hope this article will help you choose your favorite one.
see you!
