I suspect this Montblanc Villeret 1858 Tachymeter will be packed in my luggage.

What watch do you typically wear on vacation?.........................
Its that time of year now over here in the US, summer vacations! Just curious to see what everyone wears when going away. For the last 5 or 6 years I change the strap on my Panerai 189 to a rubber one and head off with that. The watch has been all over the place and is still ticking! I think only once it has been recognized which is perfect for me.

Interesting enough, I reversed my Panerai strap one time by accident and really ended up liking that look better reversed. I don't know if anyone else has ever done this but its worth a try if you haven't!

Wide topic!
My usual suspects are my JLC Tribute to Deep Sea and Polaris:
But my vintage Tudors and Rolexes are faithful companions, too.
The AP Royal Oak Ref 5402 is never too far:

Tried and true travel companion for at least the last 10 years. It is the watch that I wear always when I travel but bring one or two others for a change or for dress depending on the anticipated need.
Goofy yellow = vacation.

I can see now how this topic...............
could completely spin out of control! Love the UN BTW, I wouldn't mind traveling on vacations with that one either!

I do travel with mine as well. Whenever I travel security is a variable that I consider. As my Sonata is RG I am cautious where I go and what I bring. When I do travel with it I always use the alarm function. [nt]

True. While, in white metal, you don't risk too much. Bad guys are only interested in Rolexes. ;) [nt]

Absolutely agree which is why I don't own any Rolexes but that's another discussion. [nt]

Oh............
and not to leave my wife out, the last 5 years this JLC ladies Master Compressor Chrono has been her companion. It has seen just as much vacation time as my Panerai............
Most of them have been with me.
I'll at least take 2 watches with me. Because...well...for god's sake....why any less??

Tag 1500, Omega Seamaster TI
Tag 1500 series is my daytime pool and beach watch, been every where with me since I graduated high school. The Omega Seamaster titanium for night time, light and fun to wear.
Omega Seamaster 300M
I typically only travel with one watch and never take it off. This concept is something I spend countless hours thinking about. Big on adding the blue AP Royal to the collection, everose yacht master, and or the JLC Vintage Cermet.

This is my choice for the summer vacation:
a Stowa Flieger, hand winding, with a olive green nylon strap. Steel case and water resistant up to 50 meters
with a good lume.
and a nice b-side... I love this big balance wheel, ticking slowly at 18.000 a/h!

I am a pathologic vacation-watch-seeker ...
... that appears to be some kind of a Holy Grail: ever so close, but never really there. Many of my watch reviews reflect that quest. My perfect vacation watch should offer perfect legibility, be rock solid, be not boring, offer a weekday display and a chronograph, or at least a revolving bezel, rubber strap ...
These are but a few of my requirements, and through all the years I have hoped to find the one and only vacation watch, but in vain.
