In the days leading up to the 25th December, however old we might become, the infamous Christmas List always makes an appearance. Yes, the items on the list might change but the excitement when compiling it always remains. And one staple that never seems to lose appeal is the luxury watch. There is nothing quite like the feeling of opening it up on Christmas Day, knowing that this is a piece that you will treasure for a lifetime. With this in mind, we have selected three of the best timepieces currently on the market, from the brands that embody luxury prestige and reliable high performance.
Breitling Super Avenger II
This limited edition Super Avenger II Chronograph combines all the precision, reliability, innovation and emphatic execution of a Breitling with the sporty, more rugged edge of the Super Avenger Military. With an impressive 48mm diameter, its black steel case (which is water-resistant to 300m), solid screw-lock crown, non-slip grip and military strap lend itself to an owner ready to take it to the extreme. What’s more, the selfwinding movement is chronometer-certified by the COSC, ensuring it is a timepiece you can trust.
