WatchBox Reviews

Luxury watches in living color explode on your computer screen with Tim Mosso’s “Weekend Watches!” From Rolex to Patek Philippe, all of the best watch brands get wrist time and screen time while you shop from the comfort of your own home. Luxury watch buyers, watch collectors, and watch enthusiasts know that WatchBox on Saturday morning is the YouTube’s only curated luxury watch video gallery.

Rolex collectors will enjoy the inclusion of a GMT-Master II and Yacht-Master 42. The 2018 Rolex GMT-Master “CHNR” is a modern-day take on two-tone (steel gold) with rose gold in place of yellow on the bracelet, bezel, and crown of Rolex’s famous pilot’s watch. Baselworld 2019 brought us the 42mm white gold Yacht-Master 42 on the Oysterflex strap-bracelet hybrid. While the 2020 Rolex Submariner is hot for fall, Tim prefers the cool black-and-white tandem of the original Rolex regatta timer and sailor’s watch.

Omega Speedmaster Professional enthusiasts will discover a rare opportunity to buy the Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 matched set of five watches. These Speedmaster Moonwatch limited editions are part of a 55-set run of five Speedmasters with colored bezels inspired by the colors of the Olympic rings. 55 pieces is a symbolic figure reflecting the number of intended games in the cancelled 2020 summer Olympics. All Olympic 2020 memorabilia has become collectible, and this matched-serial-number Omega Speedmaster set may become the holy grail of modern Speedies for hardcore collectors of the most famous Omega.

Audemars Piguet watches feature prominently in the form of a classical AP Royal Oak and the stunning Code 11:59 Perpetual Calendar. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST combines stainless steel construction with the exclusive blue “grande tapisserie” hobnail dial; this 37mm “mid-size” Royal Oak might be the most attractive and best-fitting options for most wrist sizes. While the 2019 AP Code 11:59 collection proved to be controversial, the Code 11:59 Perpetual Calendar received a warm reception. With a stunning blue aventurine dial, perpetual calendar, photorealistic moonphase, and a surprisingly compact 41mm red gold case, this AP watch was the saving grace of the Code 11:59 model line.
