- - - Icon watches - how many exist for you? - - -

Well for me their exist some icon watches that will forever be connected to some person or event.

Lets start out of this world. The Omega Speedmaster - aka the "Moon Watch" will forever be "The Moon Watch".
What will the watch be when we sometime in the future land again on the moon and on mars. Well time will show.

Next in the line of Icon watches I put the Rolex Submarine - It is the essential man watch - and for me the real James Bond watch.

 

Then comes the next icon in respect to watches and names - the Rolex Daytona.
This watch will forever be a icon watch - maybe less the newest models - but for sure the classic "Paul Newman" versions.

Another brand is Audemars Piguet- there Royal Oak Offshore - and especially the "End Of The Days (EOD)" - is also in the same league of icon watches. The EOD was one of the first high end watches PVD models on a high end watch. And that has NOT effected its price in a negative way.

Then we have some less know brands that in their own way is or will become icons in time. I personal feel that the classic Pre-A panerai is one one these - And i the IWC brand I feel that the original Ingenieur and Mark 12 is icon watches as well.

Their is many more out their in the big world. How about the Cartie Santos, Bretling navitimer, etc..

But what is a icon watch for some might not be a icon watch for others.

So I leave it up to all you to name the 5 most iconic watches from your point of view.





So lets have you list of YOUR 5 icon watches /Jan J
