It is a reminiscence solely you, my fellow watch geeks will perceive: I used to look at that early Three On Three episode – the one with the hand-wound Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle (4400 calibre), Lange Saxonia, and Journe Chronomètre Bleu – on repeat. Typically on a Saturday night time. Alone. I used to be in my 20s and my pal’s by no means understood my obsession (it is honest to say, neither did any girlfriends). Anyway, I particularly recall Ben commenting on the truth that the Traditionnelle could be the Vacheron to personal and it has at all times struck me as a delightfully elegant costume watch that through the years has been introduced in plenty of totally different steel and dial codecs. This week, Harrods is presenting a restricted version of 20 self-winding iterations, and whereas through the years the division retailer has seen a gradual stream of restricted editions from numerous manufactures, this dial and strap combo must be celebrated. It definitely does not harm that inexperienced has by no means been hotter – you want solely do a fast search on-line for a inexperienced rubber Aquanaut strap for proof!
