A boat watch rated for 100 m
By Hannah Lindqvist, Stockholm ยท
Sailing watch, 100 m. Fair enough, sailors mostly stay on top of the water. But for nearly thirteen thousand dollars I'd like the 300 m a Submariner gets for less.
This is the Rolesium version, steel with a platinum bezel, and the slate dial is the best thing about it: a cool grey that looks good against almost anything. 40 mm, 11.7 mm thick, 20 mm lugs and the 3235 with 70 hours. The raised bidirectional bezel makes it look bigger than the numbers, and on my wrist it would read as a 41 or 42. Yes, I'm aware of the irony.
Who's it for: someone who wants a Sub-shaped Rolex with a little more polish and no intention of diving. Tom would laugh at the depth rating, though he'd probably laugh at the price first.
