Title: What is your choice of "Iconic Models"?
Post by: cklim on January 08, 2017, 10:51:56 AM
Hi all,

I have read some forummers discussed about "iconic models" in another thread, therefore would like to know your choices, either new or discontinued models.

Perhaps I shall start with my choices (some are for its unique design, some for its unique movement):
Breitling - Navitimer 01.
Franck Muller - Crazy Hours.
IWC - Top Gun, Big Pilot.
JLC - Reverso
Longines - Avigation Type A-7, Spirit Chrono, Evidenza.
Rolex - GMT Master II "Pepsi", Daytona.
Seiko - Turtle "Padi".
Tag Heuer - Monaco.


Tentatively these are the few that i can think of (i haven't own either one yet)  :( . Mind to share your choices?

I think the most iconic timepiece would be the Rolex Submariner. It inspires many makers to come up with their diver series.

And of course the Omega Moonwatch. I however think Omega really is playing it too hard on marketing it as the first watch on the moon. I mean it was cool once, but many years had passed, they should come up with something else to brag.

Submariner for me, due to mass market and the fact that it's probably the most copied watch design.

Most likely the majority models of Rolex and Panerai, there are quite a number of micro brands are inspired with these iconic designs.

Not to forget the porthole of the Nautilus, I think that is truly a splendid design of the old times.
