Iconic watches from different brands

Hi all,

Was just thinking about the iconic watches through time and wondered what you thought?

Rolex would be the Submariner or Daytona, Omega would be the Speedmaster.....

What others? Any price point brand just iconic I guess.

Just thought it would be interesting to get your thoughts.

The Tag Monaco has always interested me just not sure about square watches, the Gulf colours one is really nice.

This thread needs more photos of our beloved, iconic watches!

These are the icons I wear:

I have to say, the Reverso has to be experienced to be truly appreciated. I bought this one mostly on curiosity, but it has stolen my horological heart




The other icon I enjoy is my Speedmaster Professional. What a watch!

I’ve had three: 024, 112 and 243.

Some days I miss the 243.

So that narrows it down to about 50 watches then

And there's the problem with Panerai, they're iconic watches but I guarantee there won't be a consensus on which one is the iconic Panerai. The model range is a seemingly never ending, indecipherable cornucopia of watches with minute differences.

I agree it would be a luminor, but 47mm. The pocket watch Panerai is more iconic in my opinion. So I think either a 127 or a 372......or possibly even a 422.....see even I cant just pick one
