During the winter months, snowy mountain peaks, rugged terrain and narrow paths that wander into beautiful landscapes are the ideal places to enjoy sports, outdoor activities and adventures.
What do you need from a watch for the mountains? If you stop to think about it, you would probably answer you would choose a resilient, hermetic and lightweight model, one you can see clearly whether it
is day or night. You would probably also insist on the importance of an appealing design, and the warranty that can only be offered by the most renowned brands within fine watchmaking.
At Relojería Alemana we want to help you choose your most trusted ally to enjoy nature this winter (and the following ones!). We have compiled a selection of five watches you can take to the mountains.
You will be able to find them in
our shops in Mallorca.
1. Rolex Explorer II, a reliable watch in extreme mountain terrains
Manufactured using Oystersteel, which is practically immune to corrosion, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II maintains its waterproofness and appearance even in the most extreme conditions.
It also stands out because of its readability, thanks to the combination of a white dial and Chromalight hands and indexes.
One of the most striking details in this masterpiece among
Rolex watches is an
additional 24-hour hand with a fixed bezel,
very useful when you need to separate the hours of the day from those of the night or when you need to keep an eye on a second time zone.
2. Omega Speedmaster Racing with chronograph and tachymeter
The
Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer is a timepiece designed for
the highest level of precision. Rightfully so, Omega is the official chronometer for the Winter Olympics.
Certified twofold; by both the
Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), its movement includes
patented antimagnetic elements, such as the silicon spiral,
that prevent permanent deviations caused by contact with electronic devices and metallic objects.
Fitted with a chronograph and a tachymeter, the Omega Speedmaster Racing is a robust watch, perfect for extreme sports enthusiasts and unequivocally associated with speed.
. Panerai Submersible Carbotech, from the depths of the sea to the mountain peak of your choosing
The Panerai models
PAM00979 Marina Militare
y
PAM001616
have deservedly earned the trust of the Italian Navy’s elite divers, given that they are
extremely dependable instruments. These watches are also invaluable tools for the boldest adventurers while navigating the mountains: they are lightweight,
they are read very clearly in the dark, and they can assess the length of each activity thanks to a rotating bezel.
Both models have a case manufactured with Carbotech, a patented material made from carbon fibre, which has an exceptional technical performance and a non-uniform black matte appearance that varies depending on how it’s cut;
this means each timepiece is unique. The mechanical properties of Carbotech are superior to any other materials’ used in watchmaking, such as ceramic or titanium. In comparison, Carbotech is lighter and more resilient against external
factors, as well as being hypoallergenic and not corroding.
4. Tag Heuer Carrera, a constantly evolving icon
The brand’s innovation heritage joins technical avant-garde in the
Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02
the perfect watch for mountain lovers. A chronograph and a dual time zone are combined in this Carrera’s skeletal dial, where you can see its spectacular Heuer 02 GMT calibre, and not only through its sapphire crystal.
This watch is perfect for winter sports enthusiasts; its black and blue ceramic bezel makes it easier to tell time whether its day or night, with the GMT function you can keep track of a second time zone and its chronograph combines style and practicality
5. IWC Schaffhausen Pilot, a watch for the mountains with chronograph
Conquering peaks and soaring through the skies are activities that require the same sort of free spirit.
IWC Schaffhausen knows this well, and for the next timepiece in this selection of watches for the mountains we take their very own
IW377710, a pilot watch with a chronograph that can
be easily read in any situation. Its inner soft-iron case protects the machinery against the influence of magnetic fields.
