Good Day, Sunshine

Whether you are exploring ocean depths or spending lazy days by the pool, make the most of the moment with these high-octane sports watches.

FINALLY, SOME SUN. The emergence from a longer-than-expected wet season demands modifications to our get-ups. This hot season, we turn our attention to stylish and robust sports watches. But not just any plus-sized, inelegant toughies. Chameleonic boardroom-to-beach versatility, sophistication from the inside-out, and forthright statement-making allure are vital virtues. These athletically inspired specimens may brandish outstanding performance specifications and ace the harshest of endurance tests. But lest we forget, they are also conceived by renowned paragons of watchmaking refinement.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN

Overseas Chronograph

The hugely popular ‘panda’ dial design guarantees an instant throwback mojo for modern watches. Vacheron Constantin’s new Overseas Chronograph is among its latest beneficiaries. Here, the distinctive black-on-white chronograph counters do a wonderful job of imbuing the watch with a motorsport-fuelled vibe. Ticking all the boxes of a top-of-the-line sports chronograph, this stainless steel model is elegantly styled and powerfully built. A Geneva Hallmark-certified creation that promises horological excellence from construction to finishing, the watch runs on a richly decorated in-house chronograph movement featuring a gold oscillating weight.
