This is your luxury preowned watch buyer’s guide! Each Saturday, Tim Mosso’s “Weekend Watches” curates a video gallery of premium timepieces from WatchBox, the world leader in luxury preowned watches. Today’s show features dive watches, tourbillon watches, and even a minute repeater while still offering affordable options for watch collectors on a budget. This is RU-vid’s only illustrated luxury watch collector’s companion!
Today’s show opens with the spectacular 2015 Omega Seamaster 300 SPECTRE limited edition of 7,007 pieces. This 41mm stainless steel vintage-reissue dive watch references the original Omega Seamaster 300 CK2913 of 1957 while adding dial, clasp, and bezel changes that are unique to the James Bond-inspired limited edition. An Omega Master Co-Axial caliber 8400 provides chronometer-grade accuracy, 60 hours of power reserve, and sits ready for inspection below a sapphire display caseback. This special edition Omega Seamaster plays up the Agent 007 connection without spoiling the heritage-inflected style of the core Seamaster 300.
Grand Seiko watches only appear once in today’s program, but Japan’s foremost watch brand makes the most of the opportunity. This 2019 Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGC229 is a 200-piece limited edition that celebrates both 20 years of Grand Seiko Spring Drive technology and 50 years of Japan’s legendary sports car, the Nissan GTR.
A robust 46.4mm “Bayside Blue” ceramic and titanium case cradles a dial with a 24-hour second time zone, a chronograph, a power reserve indicator, and a date. The dial base is a coruscating silver-white with chiseled surfacing. A hotrod Grand Seiko caliber 9R96 provides three days of power reserve and an upgrade over the standard Spring Drive GMT chronograph; accuracy is 10 seconds per month rather than 15. For active lifestyles, 100-meter water resistance, dial lume, and automatic winding keep this Grand Seiko sports watch in the game.
Audemars Piguet appears twice on today’s program, but neither watch is a Royal Oak. Instead, this episode focuses on the haute horlogerie dress watch complications that earned AP “holy trinity” status in the mid 20th century.
First, there’s the AP Jules Audemars Quantieme Perpetuel, a 41mm rose gold perpetual calendar powered by the celebrated caliber 2120 automatic base movement. The crown jewel of this show is the AP Jules Audemars 10 Minute Repeater Tourbillon. At 39mm in grade five titanium, this minute repeater sings by chiming hours, tens of minutes after the hour, and minutes after the most recent multiple of ten minutes. A one-minute tourbillon regulator provides a commensurate feast for the eyes as the repeater chimes.
