ORIS – Kazuki Nakajima Limited Edition
To match the verve of Williams Formula One driver Kazuki Nakajima, Oris has created the Limited Edition Oris Kazuki Nakajima as part of its long-term partnership with the F1 team.
Kazuki Nakajima
Aside from rudimentary embellishments such as his emblazoned signature and logo, this all black number also features a chockfull of thoughtful personalized details such as the red and white second hand that recalls the colors of his home country, Japan, and the openings in the dial fashioned after the breathing slits in his helmet.
Matched in power by its automatic Oris 635 movement, the timepiece also bears a layered, two-piece black dial with printed indexes and a date and day display at ‘3′ for an athletic overlay. Clad in a dark, menacing shell, the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated stainless steel piece screams with sporty elements such as its F1 tyre imprinted rubber strap and the highlighted ‘8′ numeral on the minute scale (Kazuki’s number).
Limited to 1,088 pieces, this robust number is not for the faint-hearted. And in case you want to hit the sea after the tracks, this watch is water resistant up to 100m.
MILUS -Zetios Chronograph Joaillerie
Even if you can’t jet to Cannes on a whim, you can still play the part of a Riviera royalty by strapping on this sporty little number. At 45mm, the watch is a bona fide showstopper. We love that the crown is integrated into a protective housing, even though probably the most strenuous activity one might perform is deciding where to have pre- dinner cocktails.
However, that’s not to say the watch is a pushover when it comes to functionality. An automatic chronograph movement provides the driving force for stopwatch functions and the big date display at 12′. If you want to impress your coterie of girlfriends, flip the watch over to view the skeleton rotor through the transparent case back, meticulously crafted to resemble the brand logo.
But if that doesn’t elicit the requisite oohs and aahs, then distract them with the radiant fire from the 62 brilliants set in the bezel. In steel or 18K red gold with mother-of-pearl dial and white alligator strap.
