Understated, elegant, and refined are just a few ways to describe the new 18K white gold Patrimony watch by Vacheron Constantin. Inspired by the designs of the 1950s, the hour markers and hands gently follow the curve of the dial, while the olive-green strap lends a fresh, modern twist.

There are no signs of slowing demand for Rolex GMT Master IIs, the iconic steel sports watch launched in 1982 and celebrated for its timelessness and superior technological design. The buzziest launch of the year for Rolex is the new Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR, rendered in a moody grey-black color palette on the bezel. Powered by a caliber 3285 with 70 hours of power reserve, it has an independent jumping hour hand to skip time zones for traveling—perfect for the adventurous father.

Perfect for the summer months ahead, Breguet’s new Marine chronograph in 18K gold boasts a beautiful blue dial in gold with an artful hand-guilloché wave motif plus a generous splash of diamonds (90 baguette-cut diamonds set into the bezel to be exact). The watch is the latest in the brand’s sporty Marine collection that was introduced in the 1990s; a tribute to the brand’s history when its founder Abraham-Louis Breguet was appointed Chronometer maker to the French Royal Navy by the King of France, Louis XVIII in 1815. It is available in a leather or steel strap.

For the history buff, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch boasts a fascinating backstory thanks to its pioneering role aboard the moon landings. The new bi-color version, which was launched this year, combines two materials—stainless steel and 18K Moonshine™ Gold –a special long-lasting yellow gold alloy. The brushed dial is framed by a black ceramic bezel, featuring the iconic tachymeter scale in Omega Ceragold (a unique method of seamlessly blending ceramic with 18K gold), with contrasting subdials in 18K Moonshine™ Gold.
