Breitling Chronomat Automatic 40 GMT — Giannis Antetokounmpo Breitling’s newest Chronomat, a 40mm steel GMT with 200m water resistance and a COSC-certified movement, is part of a winning team that — in addition to a growing family of classic sports watches — now also includes Milwaukee Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of three members of the brand’s new All-Star Squad.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Blue Ceramic — Marc Ronson
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is one of Rolex’s most iconic and enduring collections. It represents the combination of two significant innovations by Rolex: the Oyster case and the Perpetual self-winding movement. The Oyster case, introduced by Rolex in 1926, was the world’s first waterproof wristwatch case. It featured a screw-down crown and a screw-down case back, providing a high level of protection against water, dust, and other external elements. The Perpetual movement, developed by Rolex in the late 1920s, is a self-winding mechanical movement. It utilizes a rotor that rotates with the motion of the wearer’s wrist, transferring energy to the mainspring and powering the watch. This innovation eliminated the need for manual winding and marked a significant advancement in watchmaking technology.
Superstar music producer Mark Ronson is the latest tastemaker to out himself as a longtime fan of the brand from Le Brassus, and lent his voice to the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary celebrations. “Being in AP’s factory, I really noticed this attention to detail and this combination of analogue instruments and these soulful maestros who make these watches,” Ronson noted. “It is so similar to what we are doing in the studio with our heritage, in the sense of dedication and craft.” While Ronson is partial to his vintage full-gold Royal Oak, the brand continues to push the needle with new editions, including this year’s perpetual calendar with a case and bracelet in blue ceramic.

TAG Heuer Monaco Special Edition “Dark Lord” — Jacob Elordi “The TAG Heuer Monaco was an instant design classic when it launched in 1969 and it only gets better with each new iteration — constantly improved but its iconic looks never altered,” said Euphoria star and freshly minted TAG Heuer ambassador Jacob Elordi at the relaunch of this much-loved 1970s Monaco variant. “There’s no other timepiece that is just as perfect for black-tie galas as it is for high-octane action.” ($10,700)

Mr Jones A Perfectly Useless Afternoon: Mechanical British brand Mr Jones is all about watches as art. With a design focus, they’re often affordable with quartz movements, but the latest offers one of its most popular designs with a Swiss automatic movement inside. Here you read the hour by the bather’s foot and the minutes by the yellow duckie. It remains fun and affordable considering its specs, but offers that little bit more interest for watch snobs who prefer springs to batteries.
