Watches have different strong points, whether it would be vintage or modern. Some watches have a distinct feature or a signature look, which makes each watch unique. If you notice, most of the collectors, own these kinds of watches whose name has already been around for many years.

Most of the well-known brands do not often release new models, but instead, continue to improve their timepieces over time. Whether you are aiming for an expensive timepiece or looking for an already impressive collection, it will mark as an achievement. Curious to know of their collection? Here are 10 of the most iconic watches for collectors.

Breitling Navitimer

Considered as the real Moonwatch, and the official watch used in space by NASA. This is not what makes it special, rather, it is the design that catches the attention of the watch fanatics. It has a function that enables the pilot to navigate or do a simple calculation in regards to their speed and fuel consumption. 

TAG Heuer Carrera

The chronograph of the Carrera was named after a border to border sports car racing event called Carrera Panamericana. It has an impressive design and also features an in-house movement. The designer of the watch, Jack Heuer, had just recently resigned and is now enjoying his well-deserved retirement. 

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

With its strong military history, going through rough terrain would not be a problem for this timepiece. Made in 1953, it has made to withstand depths, with these features, it helped this Swiss timepiece to make it to the favorites of the diving community. Its design has hardly changed for many years, which proves its quality. 

Breguet Tourbillon Extra-Plat 5367

Invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801, it is a rare example of an incredibly well-designed timepiece but understated. The new thin version is an instant classic, with its design tailored around to show off its tourbillon cage. The ultra-thin, automatic, skeletonized tourbillons remain a rarity for a reason, which makes it a beautiful example of watchmaking.

Patek Philippe Calatrava

When it was released in 1932, it was a revolutionary concept, because of its hobnail case, which made it classically elegant. It offers a simple three-hand time/date functions, making it the single most important cornerstone of a good watch collection.

 

If you are interested in buying luxury watches, you can visit sites such as https://www.watchshopping.com/ and other reliable sources to know more information. The website has a wide range of selection of different watches for you to choose from.

Cartier Tank

It was unveiled in 1912, with the inspiration of Renault tanks of World War 1, its case has a rectangular design. The Cartier Tank was a favorite watch of Jacqueline Kennedy, proving it to be perfect for both men and women. Having said that, it continues to impress watch lovers with its bold case shape and its vintage appeal. It is a must-have for every watch collector.

Rolex Datejust

The Rolex Datejust is evidence of what Rolex believes to be most essential in a watch, offering what you need in an everyday piece. This model has been worn by many known individuals, because of its excellent versatility, working just as good as jeans and t-shirts, as it would with a suit and tie.

Omega Speedmaster

The Omega Speedmaster is widely considered to be the quintessential sports chronograph, regardless of its price, prestige, and history. The Speedmaster is a handsome but not showy chronograph, with its distinctive looks, and a long enough life, they hold their value well. It was good enough for NASA and even strapped it to Buzz Aldrin for his 1969 moonwalk.

Rolex Submariner

One of the most celebrated of all diving watches. The Rolex Submariner has been worn by many celebrities including Johnny Depp, Steve Mcqueen, Ralph Lauren, and many more. The Submariner is one of Rolex’s popular models for a good reason. Its style remains slick, legible, durable and suitable for any man or woman, regardless of looks, or age.

Glashutte Original Senator Navigator

The most popular sports watches are pilot style timepieces. Glashutte Original Senator Navigator is renowned worldwide and highly sought after among watch lovers and experts and considered as instruments of the finest workmanship when it comes to watchmaking.

Takeaway

Collecting watches is also a good investment. Just keep in mind that collecting watches is pricey. Make sure that you are financially prepared because collecting watches gives us a sense of fulfillment and it makes us feel good about ourselves. The tradition of collecting watches is not just for show or not just to tell time, it tells the world who we are.
