Four Sports Watches Perfect For Welcoming The Summer Season
The meteorological summer has begun, so it is officially time to take in again the joys that this season has to offer. Short sleeves are more often than not, what we wear during this time of year, putting more of an emphasis on the watches that we have around our wrist. Here are four sports watches that are perfect for welcoming the warmest season of the year.
Santos de Cartier Chronograph
With the Santos de Cartier Chronograph has ‘La Maison’ created a watch that has all the classic hallmarks they are so famous for, yet in a beautiful sportive package. It seems to lack the pushers flanking the crown, which most chronographs have to operate its complication. Cartier replaced them with just one on the left side to start and stop the chronograph while pushing the crown will reset it. Quite novel, and more importantly, very easy to use. Our favorite version for the summer is the one that combines a stainless steel case with a black ADLC-bezel and rubber strap. With a water resistance of 100 meters, it is also not afraid of water, so perfect for wearing it while enjoying summer on the water.
Hublot Big Bang SORAI
Nobody does collaborations like Hublot. Last year they launched the Big Bang SORAI, which made a big impression on us. Not only is the watch amazing by itself, featuring a case made out of micro-blasted ceramic in a sand color, but it also supports a great cause. The case gives the watch a sticking appearance, especially in combination with the strap with a camo pattern. That makes the Big Bang SORAI the perfect watch for those who like to spend summer close to nature. It further also helps to generate funds for the SORAI foundation, which stands for ‘Save Our Rhino Africa India.’ Founded by Cricket-star Kevin Pieterson, its aim is to preserve rhinoceroses threatened with extinction.
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Black ceramic
Can we call the ultra-slim Bulgari Octo Finissimo a sports watch? Some might not agree with us, but we think that we can. This watch may be thin, but it has been created from the start for people who enjoy an active lifestyle. While there are many different varieties to choose from, the version in full black ceramic will make a striking appearance with any summer outfit. It is so light on the wrist that you might forget that you are wearing a watch. Fortunately, this watch is equipped with a see-through caseback so that you have no problem convincing your friends that this watch features an automatic movement indeed.
Panerai Luminor Marina Ref.PAM01313
Panerai is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Luminor this year and does so with the new Luminor Marina Ref.PAM01313. What is so nice about this watch is that it simply takes all the strengths of the model and serves it up straight and simple. For the very first time, it features its signature sandwich dial in blue with a sun-brushed pattern. Further, you get the hallmark safety lock for the crown, its distinct 44mm case in stainless steel, and a water resistance of 300 meters. It is powered by caliber P.9010, which offers a three-day power reserve thanks to two mainspring barrels. A nice touch is also that Panerai delivers the watch with two straps; one in blue alligator leather for when you intend to remain on dry land, and a blue rubber one as well, for when things might get wet. This makes the new Luminor Marina perfect to enjoy summer with.
