SPORTS WATCH REV I VAL

THE SPORTS WATCH IS THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER ACCESSORY OF THE MOMENT, AND THE TOP WATCH BRANDS HAVE INVESTED THEIR NEWEST MODELS WITH THE MOST STATE-OF-THE-ART MATERIALS AND MOVEMENTS AVAILABLE. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A RESURGENCE IN ATTENTION TO DESIGN AMONG THE TOP BRANDS, WITH EVERY DETAIL OF THE WATCH, FROM DIAL AND CASE TO BRACELET ATTACHMENTS, REFINED AND REPURPOSED TO MAKE THEM AS BEAUTIFUL AS THEY ARE FUNCTIONAL. HERE ARE SOME OF OUR TOP SPORTS PICKS!

ROLEX GMT-MASTER II This version of the Rolex GMT-Master II is fondly nicknamed the Batman because of its blue and black Cerachrom bezel, and has become a favorite in the collector community. The celebrated watch has a new movement this year, the Rolex-made caliber 3285, with a Chronergy escapement that endows it with an accuracy rating of +2/-2 seconds per day. This is also the first GMT-Master II to be fitted with the Jubilee bracelet, which is usually reserved for more classic Rolexes, and gives this sports watch a dressier vibe. The watch displays two time zones simultaneously: either the local time and the reference time, or the local time and that of an alternative time zone. The date, at 3 o’clock on the dial, is synchronized with the local time.
