When it comes to luxury menswear and accessories, Mr Porter is a must-visit site in our opinion here at The Coolector and one area in which they’re particularly well stocked is that of luxury watches. If you’ve got a few thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket right now, check out our pick of 8 of the best men’s luxury watches from Mr Porter below:
Bell & Ross 05 Automatic 40mm
A sprinkling of diamonds on Bell & Ross’ ‘BR 05’ bring a sense of luxury to an already impressive watch. It’s a signature model of the label’s, based on military aircraft cockpit instruments that initially drew the founders to the art of horology – its timepieces are now worn by pilots, astronauts and bomb disposal experts alike for their professional-grade functionality. It’s crafted from stainless steel with a legible black dial and date window.
La Californienne Daybreak Watch
laCalifornienne first came on to the scene with a bang courtesy of their handmade straps, and now it presents its first timepiece, the ‘Daybreak’. This classy offering is powered by a Swiss-made quartz ETA movement and comprised of a rectangular case that’s gold-plated and polished for a high-shine finish.
Unimatic Model One Watch
UNIMATIC’s ‘Model One’ style has all the performance of a classic diving watch in a sleek, understated aesthetic. It’s animated by a Swiss-made automatic calibre Sellita SW200-1 movement and individually tested for 3-bar water resistance. The blackened stainless steel case shows off a matching dial detailed simply with black and white Super-LumiNova® hands and protected with an anti-reflective sapphire glass crystal.
Panerai Luminor Due Automatic
Large tool watches have always been indicative of Panerai’s military DNA, and while the ‘Luminor Due’ is up to 40% thinner than previous models, it still packs the punch and associated horsepower. Made in Switzerland from polished stainless steel, it has a signature rounded-square case with a sun-brushed blue dial and contrasting luminous hands and indices for enhanced legibility.
Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Curtiss Warhawk
Work started on the iconic P-40 Curtiss Warhawk fighter plane in 1938, the year Breitling’s Huit Aviation Department began installing its onboard instruments for the likes of the RAF. The ‘Aviator 8 B01’ pays tribute to the groundbreaking innovation and revisits the technicalities of the ‘Reference 768’, one of the watchmaker’s first pilot watches, with a rotating bezel and distinctive triangular pointer.
TAG HEUER Formula 1 x Senna Chronograph
TAG Heuer’s special edition ‘Formula 1’ 44mm watch pays homage to legendary Brazilian driver and ’80s ambassador Mr Ayrton Senna. In celebration of its partnership with the Senna Foundation, the Swiss house crafted a timepiece accented with the three-times F1 champion’s iconic yellow livery, with a fixed ceramic-inlay bezel for tachymetric speed calculations.
Nomos Glashutte Club Campus Neomatik
The DUW 3001 is one of the most slender and precise automatic movements ever made, and it’s handcrafted in-house at NOMOS Glashütte . Engineered with the eye-catching calibre, this stainless steel ‘Club Campus Neomatik’ timepiece has been created in Germany with a midnight-blue dial and Super-LumiNova®-coated rose gold hands.
Massena Lab Uni-Racer Limited Edition
Massena LAB’s first timepiece, the limited-edition ‘Uni-Racer’, is modelled after Universal Genève’s rare ‘Uni-Compax’ chronograph from the 60s – the collaborative creative studio took three years to perfect every detail.
