Calling all watch-nuts (“aficionado” is so passé)! It’s time to get down with the latest bougie timepieces arriving at retailers near you!
From a colourfully-chic sports watch, to an elegant but rugged chronograph – here are two watch drops that are just built differently!
Defy Skyline Chronograph Boutique Edition
As their name suggests, the luxury Swiss watchmaker Zenith have been at the top of their game, a position that was further reinforced earlier this year when they debuted the Defy Skyline Chronograph. Now, the Swiss craftsmen have announced that this exclusive model will be receiving its first-ever boutique edition.
The timepiece features a stunning 42mm stainless steel case, boasting Zenith’s iconic octagonal shape with a multi-faceted bezel. The watch body boasts rugged and sharp corners that emphasise an aggressive yet equally elegant design that synergises well with the main case.
The watch has an unmistakably prominent slate grey dial that naturally blends with the rest of it. Throughout the aforementioned dial are warm gold tone accents that enrich the watch face, like stars in an undisturbed night sky.
The El Primero 3600 movement, the pride of Zenith and the beating heart of this watch, powers the essential functions – hour, minute, date, stop-second, and a 1/10th of a second chronograph function – for about 60 hours on a continuous basis.
Defy Skyline Chronograph Boutique Edition can be purchased through Zenith’s physical or online boutiques for RM60,800.
Polo Watch Collection
Polo Ralph Lauren is known for its exceptional sporting goods and clothing line, but now, the storied brand is dipping its toes into the world of horology, with the unveiling of the Polo Watch Collection!
Available in two colours, the brand’s new timepiece is fitted with a matte azure blue dial with a black lacquered base. However, the two variants differ in their bezel and strap colour combinations: one has a blue bezel and red strap; the other, a green bezel and orange strap.
The 42mm case size Polo Watch is dressed in an exclusive combination of caoutchouc, aluminium, and stainless steel, all of which are high-performance materials that guarantee longevity without sacrificing a luxe-sport appearance. Underneath the hood is an automatic movement that’s geared with 38 hours of power reserve.
Priced at US$1,690 (~RM7,328) each, the Polo Watch collection is available at Ralph Lauren’s website as well as select stores.
