EDITOR'S PICK: BASELWORLD 2017 BEST EVERYDAY WATCH FOR EVERYDAY MAN By Azhar Ahmad 34 TUDOR BLACK BAY 41 When Tudor gets it right, Tudor gets it very, very right. The Black Bay 41 is essentially just a larger version of last year's Black Bay 36, which is why it's so great. This is a slim watch with a hyper-legible dial that looks good on a strap or a bracelet. It's reasonably priced and has just the right amount of vintage nostalgia baked in. ROLEX SEA DWELLER Things are changing at Rolex and the proof is with the all-new Sea Dweller. Its 43mm makes it on the larger side compared to its predecessors, but that's because it's always hiding behind the shadow of the Submariner. Now, it provides a much larger emphasis and a more robust look. WRIST TAKER 17
35 NOMOS CLUB CAMPUS Millennials can tell time only on their smartphones, right? That’s a cliché, of course, but Nomos Glashütte, a lauded German maker, released the chic,budget-friendly Club Campus line for those still paying off their student loans. As a bonus, each one comes with a largely blank case back: just the thing for an inscription celebrating a college graduation or a first job. BREITLING COLT SKYRACER Makers of fine Swiss timepieces have no choice but to connect with millennials or fade to irrelevance. Quality quartz watches like this are a great start. This Breitling Colt Skyracer costs less than half of the company’s signature aviation watches. But it features a featherweight case fashioned from a proprietary carbon and a “SuperQuartz” movement billed as 10 times more accurate than standard quartz. It also boasts an eightyear battery life! 17 WRIST TAKER
