If you’re ending the year with a globe-trotting agenda, make sure you’re travelling with one of these jet-set-friendly beauties.

The rose gold and blue-grey colorways of last year’s Aquanaut Luce models were such a clear hit that Patek Philippe decided to add one more to the mix in the form of this quartz-powered Aquanaut Travel Time. It’s delightfully slim at 8.77mm in height and less domineering on the wrist with a diameter of 38.8mm.

OMEGA AQUA TERRA WORLDTIMER
World time watches tend to have busy dials to accommodate all that information, but the Aqua Terra Worldtimer in titanium is a more subdued take on Omega’s iconic traveller’s watch. The black and grey details do well to match titanium’s industrial look, but subtle gold accents add a degree of elegance.

Pink and purple dials are becoming a gender-neutral favorite lately, and Grand Seiko’s new Asia Pacific limited edition satisfies the trend with an ethereal hue inspired by the Japanese wisteria. The pale purple dial sits in a 40mm stainless steel case and under it ticks the automatic Hi-Beat 36000 GMT Calibre 9S86. Only 180 pieces have been made, and available exclusively at Grand Seiko boutiques across the region.

The Pelagos FXD was first introduced as a mil-spec watch that adhered to the requirements of French Navy, and has enjoyed many collaborations outside the military since. But the latest version returns to pay tribute to the Navy’s aviation arm with a 42mm titanium case and a matte black dial inspired by its military watches from the 1970s and 1980s.

The Aquaracer Professional 300 went through its last overhaul only three years ago, but new updates are still being pushed out to keep collectors happy – like this GMT version released earlier this year. Its design is largely similar to the date model but uses the new TH31-03 calibre that adds a GMT function and a substantial 80-hour power reserve. This blue-dialed model comes with a black and blue 24-hour unidirectional ceramic bezel.
