Iconic watch models

[Ceaiu]

As a newbie, I find myself more atracted by those modern itinerations of iconic models than by something that's unique or revolutionary.
I'm already super lucky and grateful to own two amazing watches (the GMT-Master II BLRO and the Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-edition) from below lists and remain hopeful that I'll be able to complete a trio by adding a Portugieser Automatic 40 later down the road.
Anything else following that would be me smoking too much.
But while daydreaming, allow me to put together 3 perfectly balanced (IMHO) watch collections.


Only one (luxury) watch "collection":

1. Omega Speedmaster Pro - the versatile one

Five (luxury) watch collection:

1. Rolex GMT-Master - the traveller

2. Breitling Navitimer - the chronographer

3. IWC Portugieser - the simple one

4. Cartier Santos-Dumont - the precious one

5. Rolex Submariner - the diver

2. Patek Philippe Calatrava - the dressy one

3. A.Lange & Sohne Lange 1 - the casual one

Here’s my 3 iconic watch collection. Well at least 2 out of 3 are definitely iconic...

I might get a 3rd mechanical eventually, but right now, these are all I need, and yes, I really like the Apple Watch and consider it part of my 3 watch collection.

Those are all, most certainly, iconic watches. Icons are icons for a reason but I would still advocating buying what one likes.
