A little more attention to the fans might reveal that there are always a few iconic watches that have remained popular since their launch. As many know, the Rolex "Water Ghost" has a large number of loyal followers. Whenever articles refer to the "Water Ghost," the number of reads is always impressive. Of course, it's not just the Rolex "Water Ghost" that captures attention—other series like the All-Country Pilot from Rolex, Omega Seamaster, Panerai Luminor, and Breitling Aviation Chronograph also attract massive admiration. For women, the Chanel J12 has become a timeless classic. Let’s take a closer look at each of these iconic timepieces one by one.
**1. Rolex Submariner (Water Ghost)**
In the 1940s and 1950s, as underwater resource exploration became a global trend, the Rolex Submariner was born. Known as the "Water Ghost," this is a classic waterproof watch with high visibility, a striking black dial, and large luminous hands. It features excellent anti-magnetic properties, water resistance, shock resistance, and corrosion resistance, along with performance in extreme temperature changes. Compared to the Daytona model, the Submariner is more affordable, making it a popular entry point for many into the world of Rolex.
In 1981, Rolex further improved the Submariner, aligning it with the ISO diving standards. This demonstrated Rolex’s commitment to quality and precision. In China, the brand is often seen as a symbol of wealth and status, a perception that has remained strong over the years.
**2. Omega Seamaster (Hippocampus)**
While we’ve discussed Rolex, it’s impossible to ignore another legendary dive watch: the Omega Seamaster. The Hippocampus series debuted in 1948, featuring a unique "elegant sport" design that set it apart from other timepieces of its era. Its popularity led to continuous innovation, enhancing its reliability and water resistance. Known for its technological depth, the Hippocampus is also labeled as "Professional," reflecting its design philosophy tailored for professionals.
**3. IWC Pilot's Series**
The ocean and the sky have always fascinated humanity. While the Rolex and Omega watches were inspired by the sea, the IWC Pilot’s series was born from the world of aviation. In the early 20th century, IWC began developing pilot watches, becoming one of the first brands to meet the demands of aviators.
In 1936, IWC created the first "large" pilot watch, and in 1940, the military version was introduced. Though not exclusively for pilots, its design and movement made it a favorite among collectors. The large crown and long strap made it highly user-friendly. Overall, the Pilot’s series has had a lasting impact on the design and performance of pilot watches.
**4. Breitling Aviator Series**
Breitling has a deep connection with aviation. Since 1936, the brand has been a supplier to the RAF, building a long-term relationship with the aviation community. In 1952, Breitling launched the Navitimer, the first true pilot’s chronograph. Equipped with a flight slide rule, it could perform essential flight calculations. The Aviator series remains a flagship for Breitling, with its design and functionality remaining largely unchanged for over half a century.
**5. Panerai Luminor**
When thinking of Panerai, the first thing that comes to mind is its distinctive design. With an Italian aesthetic, it stands out from traditional watches. Introduced in the 1950s, the Luminor was designed to overcome the shortcomings of the Radiomir. Featuring a patented system to prevent moisture ingress and using tritium for luminescence, the Luminor was once exclusive to the Italian Navy. Its combination of function and style has made it a standout in the world of luxury watches.
**6. Chanel J12**
While most of the above are men’s watches, the Chanel J12 is a true icon in the world of women’s watches. Launched in 2000, it was hailed by international media as a "new classic of the 21st century." Inspired by the ocean, the J12 was the first watch made from high-tech ceramic, combining durability with elegance. From its black debut to the white version in 2003, the black-and-white theme reflects the cycle of day and night.
From the depths of the ocean to the skies, humans have always sought to conquer the world. These classic watches reflect that spirit. Beyond their craftsmanship and design, they represent the ideals and aspirations of human achievement. (Text / Million Watch World Fu Xue Ting)
