It is summertime again. Soon, you can expect the weather to be very hot every day. You can expect sunshine, sweat and rain. You can also expect high humidity. So, when choosing your watches for summer, you should focus on colors, durability and lightness. You should look for something bold and sharp instead of classic and discrete. Here is our guide to summer watches.
- Rolex Yacht master II
The Rolex Yacht Master II has not been a very popular watch because of its seemingly obsolete functions and the price. It is the most expensive stainless steel Rolex model.
However, when thinking of summer, you think of watersports. The Yacht Master II is perfect for yachting as well as other watersports. The color ways of the watch is also perfect for summer – a white dial with a blue ceramic bezel. With polished center links of the bracelet, the watch is absolutely one of the catchiest watches for beach goers.
- Rolex Day-Date gem stone dials
A Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold is always a good summer watch especially when it is paired with gem stone dials. One of the best that we would recommend is the Day-Date with an orange coral dial. Green bloodstone and Lapis Lazuli dials are also very sharp-looking for summer.
The best thing about these dials is that each of them is unique and no two of them are the same. They have their own unique patterns and it makes your watch very exclusive to yourself.
The new Day-Date 40 green dial version is also on top of our list. However, if you want something more special, do hunt for these Day-Dates with gem stone dials.
- Audemars Piguet Diver Chronograph
Speaking of colors and durability, you can expect nothing less from the 2016 AP Diver Chronograph. Coming in yellow, orange, blue and green, they are some of the best summer watches you can get.
Worn on a thick rubber strap, these Diver Chronographs are best for watersports. As colorful as they are, the 42mm watch features ceramic chronograph pushers and crown. The movement can be seen through a display case back. The well-decorated solid gold rotor can be viewed. Whether you dive with this watch or not, the AP Diver Chronograph makes one of the best summer watches.
- Audemars Piguet Ceramic Diver and Forged Carbon Diver
Think that the Diver Chronograph is not light enough? You can always go for the AP Ceramic Diver or the Diver Forged Carbon. They have simpler functions and on the ceramic diver, a stunning movement that can be viewed through the case back. You will not easily scratch you watch when doing any kinds of sports as well. The Forged Carbon Diver gives you more layers of texture with its case made of forged carbon and its bezel ceramic.
- G-Shocks (Frogman, Rangeman…or doorman?)
Any G-shocks can be very good summer watches as they are extremely durable, light and colorful. One of the watches that can impress is this Rangeman released in June.
Its case is light blue in color and it is paired with a black and white strap.
The yellow version is also very sharp for summer. G-shocks are cheap and very good for summer when you wear a t-shirt and shorts. You can basically feel easy when doing anything with them without worrying about scratching you watch. It is an important thing in summer especially when you sweat.
