Commit TV Yagi Column ~Recommended luxury watches that won't make your boss or senior colleagues feel uncomfortable~

If I wear an expensive watch, my superiors and seniors at work don't think well of me.
I think there are many people who have these kinds of concerns.
It would be a shame if you actually bought your favorite watch, but then you couldn't wear it on a daily basis because you were worried about what others would think.
However, everyone wants to make a good impression at work or with business partners without being annoying.
This time, we would like to introduce some tips for choosing materials and recommended models for such people. Please stay with us until the end.

▼Selecting the base material

The material of a watch greatly affects its impression. Be sure to fully understand the characteristics and suitability of each material and use this information when choosing a watch.

【◎】 SS (stainless steel)

First of all, the iron plate is the classic SS (stainless steel) . It's not about whether it makes a good or bad impression, but the main point about [watch = silver] is that it has been around for a long time and [the eye is accustomed to it = it doesn't stand out].

In addition, there are many different types available from various manufacturers, and the prices are relatively affordable.
Other plus points include the fact that you can use it without worrying and that maintenance costs are relatively low.

[〇][〇] PLATINUM

Following white gold, platinum also looks the same as stainless steel (color = appearance), so there is no problem from the standpoint of being gaudy.

※ Rolex Cellini Cellinium Ref.5240/6 PLATINUM

Of course, platinum is often used in expensive models, and even if you can't tell the difference by the material, you may be able to tell by the design of the watch itself (lol). The platinum Daytona is an easy example to understand.

If I had worn Daytona Ice Blue...

Regarding platinum, I would appreciate it if you would think of it only as a matter of appearance (laughs).

[▲][▲] Combo (YGorPG×SS)

Lastly, there is the combination model (YG or PG x SS) . As with solid gold materials such as YG (yellow gold) and PG (pink gold * rose gold), opinions on this model are divided depending on the viewer. As expected, the addition of YG (yellow gold) or PG (pink gold * rose gold) as a color makes it stand out, both in a good and bad way. From the perspective of "not wanting to make your boss or senior colleagues at work feel uncomfortable," it may be best to refrain from using this.

Recommended Models

Now, let's introduce some recommended models. This time, the theme is "Don't make your boss or senior colleagues feel uncomfortable," so we will narrow it down to SS (stainless steel) , which is the most suitable for that concept, and introduce it from the products we have in stock.

① [Rolex] Explorer I "Ref. 114270" SS

The first model we will introduce is a classic one. The Rolex Explorer I is the best model for being unobtrusive.

Among them, I think that this "Ref. 114270" is one that everyone will be satisfied with. I don't think there is any other model that can be worn so smartly and is so versatile. The case size is 36mm, so it can be worn smoothly without being too assertive. It is a model that everyone would want to own, and has established an immovable position in the Rolex world .

② [Omega] "Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional" "Ref.311.30.42.30.01.006" Manual winding SS

The second watch is the Omega Speedmaster , the first watch to land on the moon. It has a perfect design with a chronograph function, and the black and white dial gives off a clean image. Wearing a Speedmaster should not make you feel uncomfortable.

The Speedmaster frequently appears on Commit TV's "Actor's Watch" segment, which focuses on watches worn by actors in movies and TV, so it seems that it has a positive image in the public eye.

③ [Tudor] "Black Bay Fifty-Eight" "Ref. 79030N" SS

The third is Tudor , which is becoming established as an entry-level watch due to its affordable price range. It offers high cost performance, but also has excellent design and functionality. Wearing this brand, which is gaining in popularity, will make a good impression on those around you.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight is a reissue of the 1958 model, and is a modern evolution of the original while retaining elements such as the squid needle. I would love to wear the Black Bay Fifty-Eight , which combines the tastes of the past and present, to work in style.

④ [Grand Seiko] "Spring Drive Ginza Street Association 100th Anniversary Limited Edition" "SBGA399" SS

The fourth is Grand Seiko , a brand that Japan is proud of. As a Japanese person, I can't leave out this brand. There is no other brand that Japanese people are as attached to as Grand Seiko .

This "SBGA399" is a popular series equipped with Seiko 's proprietary "Spring Drive" . In addition, this model is the "Ginza Street Association 100th Anniversary Limited Model" , so it is unlikely that you will see anyone else wearing it. If you wear this, you will definitely be a topic of conversation, without being gaudy in a good way.

⑤ [IWC] "Vintage Collection Portofino" "IW544801" Hand-wound SS

The fifth watch is the IWC Vintage Collection Portofino, which exudes adult sexiness and elegance. This model gives off a smart and intellectual impression, and is a perfect match for a suit style. It is a model commemorating the 140th anniversary of IWC's founding, and is part of the Vintage Series, which reissued classics from the past in 2008, so you can feel the history of IWC. It is equipped with a moon phase, and the design is also attractive.

To be honest, I think it would not be an exaggeration to say that no one would feel any lewdness when looking at the Vintage Collection Portofino .

⑥ [Jaeger-LeCoultre] Master Control "Ref. Q1398120" SS

The sixth watch is the popular "Master Control" from the Jaeger-LeCoultre collection. It is an intellectual model that exudes adult sexiness and exudes a classical and stylish atmosphere.

This model features a slim case that has been added to the Master Series, with a thickness of just 9mm, a case diameter of 40mm, and a stainless steel bracelet, making it a very versatile watch.

⑦ [Girard-Perregaux] "Laureato" "Ref. 81010-11-634-11A" SS

The seventh and final item we will introduce is the Laureato from Girard-Perregaux, a long-established Swiss mechanical watch manufacturer. Nowadays, various manufacturers have released designs called "luxury watches" that are popular, and this Laureato is one of them. It is a model reminiscent of the Royal Oak and Nautilus.

The deep black dial gives a clean and dignified impression. It also incorporates the latest trends in luxury sports watches, making it a watch that can be worn both on and off the job.
