Well, in about a few days’ time, we would have just completed the first half of 2017.
For some, 2017 have been a good year. And what will be a better way than to reward yourself with an excellent timepiece, especially if you are a watch collector? In this week’s Throwback Sunday, we are looking at six watches that you can purchase to celebrate an achievement (or if you are just looking for an excuse to buy a timepiece).
So, what have we selected? Let’s find out!
Tudor Black Bay Steel and Gold
The new Tudor Black Bay Steel and Gold.
We begin the article with a novelty from Baselworld 2017: the new Tudor Black Bay Steel and Gold.
In the recent years, Tudor had been aggressively marketing itself against many of the entry-level luxury brands. Its great designs, coupled with a solid movement and a reasonable price point, puts it ahead of many of its competitors. The new Black Bay Steel and Gold is no exception. The watch is a classic two-tone design, fits in nicely for collectors looking for something a little more luxurious and classy. The use of Tudor’s in-house MT5612 movement adds a nice touch as well, especially with its 70 hours power reserve and COSC-certified accuracy.
The watch is available in two different strap options – either in leather strap, or metal bracelet. Both comes with an additional fabric strap, with prices starting at CHF3,600 (approximately S$ 5,050) for the leather strap variant.

The latest iteration, which features the Calibre 1861, is a manual-winding movement also boasts a decent power reserve of around 48 hours.
To many collectors, the Moonwatch is a classic. There aren’t many watches that look as good. The charming good looks withstanding the test of time, and still great after more than half a century), and can tell a story that is as intriguing as the Speedmaster. Besides that, the Moonwatch also reminds us of Man’s epic endeavours, and that we should always constantly strive to outdo ourselves.
The watch is priced at S$ 8,050.
Grand Seiko SBGW
The trilogy from the First Grand Seiko series.
The craze for Japanese watches have proliferated rapidly in the recent years, with many collectors finally recognising the value proposition and fine craftsmanship behind these exquisite works of art. The Grand Seiko is perhaps one of the brands that have benefited from it.
