Omega Speedmaster “Reduced”
Many collectors often make the case that one’s first great watch should be an Omega Speedmaster, and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t agree. Between the history of this important chronograph and the value which they offer on the second-hand market, it’s tough to do much better in the price range of these chronographs.
While the Moon Watch will certainly cost a significant amount, tighter budgets can be accommodated with a Speedmaster “Reduced,” which makes use of an automatic movement instead of Omega’s hand-wound calibre. Here’s an example produced with a clean white and silver dial, which while not your typical Speedmaster, is still a wonderful chronograph that you’ll be sure to get years of versatile wear out of.
Enthusiast’s corner: Rare or exceptional timepieces
Rolex Ref. 6202 Turn-O-Graph
In my opinion, the term “undervalued” gets thrown around a bit too often in vintage Rolex collecting circles, but in certain cases, its use can be justified. This is one of those cases, and upon hearing the story of this watch, I think you’ll surely agree.
This is a Ref. 6202 Turn-O-Graph, and if you’re unfamiliar with the watch, here’s a quick history lesson. As the first Rolex to feature the graduated rotating bezel, the 6202 is ultimately the mother of all Rolex sports models. Despite the obvious importance of the reference in their history, examples like this are still available for prices that could still be described as relatively reasonable in comparison to other Rolex sports models of a similar vintage.
Steal of the week: Great value for the money
Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph
The Nicolas Rieussec chronograph from Montblanc had never really been a go-to recommendation for me, but after having recently taken a closer look at an example in the metal, I think it’s deserving of a great deal more credit in the eyes of collectors.
At the end of the day, the Rieussec is just terrific value, no matter how you slice it. If you’re capable of looking past the name on the dial and don’t mind a watch with slightly modern proportions, it’s hard to argue with the Rieussec at under the $10,000 mark. You’re getting an in-house automatic movement equipped with a mono-pusher column-wheel chronograph, which you just don’t see from many other brands at this attractive of a price point.
