Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph

Panerai Luminor Marina Goldtech
Making an impression has never been a problem for Panerai. Since its inception, the brand has been the frontrunner in creating timepieces that deserve a second look. If you are looking for something along these lines for a Christmas gift, then the Panerai Luminor Marina Goldtech is the watch for you. The 44mm case of the timepiece is made from Goldtech – a distinctive precious metal that gives a unique tone to the watch. This dynamic aesthetic is further amplified against the deep blue sandwich dial with satiné soleil decoration. Beating inside the watch is Panerai’s high-performance Caliber P.9010 automatic movement that offers a power reserve of three days.

When in doubt, always go with an OMEGA Speedmaster. It’s a watch on everyone’s list. Trust us. For this year, we chose the Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. It is also the first new Speedmaster Moonwatch to house the iconic Calibre 321, the first movement ever used in the Omega Speedmaster in 1957. This special piece comes in a 42mm case made from platinum alloy and a black ceramic bezel with the Speedmaster’s famous tachymeter scale in white enamel. The onyx deep black step dial set with 18K white gold hands and indexes features subdials made from actual slices of moon meteorite. Need we say more?
