2021 Watches For Summer: Rolex, Longines, Tudor, Patek Philippe: My Favorite Sports Watches

Tim Mosso's "Watches Tonight" explores the best 2021 luxury watches for watch collectors to wear this summer. The best watch brands figure prominently, and Tim highlights outstanding sports watches from Rolex, Tudor, Patek Philippe, Vacheron, and more. Tonight's show offers a broad range of watches from the patrician Patek Philippe 5520P to the versatile Rolex Yacht-Master. And for watch collectors on a budget, we spotlight outstanding watch models from Tudor and Longines. Without a doubt, the Rolex Yacht Master is the most versatile sports watch in the Rolex collection. Neither a hardcore diver like the Submariner nor a complication like the GMT or Daytona, the Yacht Master offers a judicious blend of dress watch elegance and sports watch toughness. As Rolex sports watches go, the Yacht Master is a relatively new addition to the Rolex family having arrived at Baselworld 1992. But this model has gained a strong reputation for value and utility during its short existence. This evening's program focuses on the Rolex Yacht-Master 40mm in stainless steel and platinum. While the regatta timing bezel is platinum, the remainder of the watch and bracelet is comprised of 904L stainless steel, and that's reflected in Rolex reference 116622's $12,000 price point. Although the rotating bezel is designed for timing races between yachts, it's also useful for cooking on the grill, waiting for sunblock to take effect, or counting down to an Independence Day fireworks display. 100-meter wat
