TIMEPIECE TYPES
No matter your style—and lifestyle—you’ll find a
luxury watch to match your personality at James Free.
THE OUTDOORIST
Yachtsman, fisherman, diver or hiker, not just any watch will do for the nature enthusiast. The outdoorsman needs a timekeeper that matches his lifestyle, polished yet functional for the guy on the go. And what better watch for the job than James Bond’s?
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m (ref. 210.32.42.20.10.001) is water resistant to 1,000 feet with a self- winding movement, a dual-sided scratch-resistant sapphire crystal backing and a date window at 6 o’clock. A handsome touch is the olive-green strap and ceramic bezel, a camo-inspired color to complement your nature-inspired hobbies.
THE PROFESSIONALIST
The watch you wear to the office should be a polished piece—one that can take you from corporate meetings to after-work negotiations. The IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Chronograph (ref. IW371617) is the epitome of sophistication and is a versatile companion for your workday.
For the first time, the watch comes with a stainless- steel bracelet featuring butterfly folding clasps for a sporty yet refined style. It’s neutral in color with unique blue hands and appliques, so the piece is suitable for any outfit—whether you’re dressed to the nines or simply keeping it casual. And thanks to its robust sapphire glass in front and back, the timepiece allows you to view IWC’s precise chronograph movement and rest it ergonomically on your wrist for all-day use.
THE TRADITIONALIST
Traditional doesn’t have to mean boring. Beloved classic objects are those that never go out of style and those you hope to pass along to future generations. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute DuoFace Calendar (ref. Q3918420) is one such piece.
The latest model maintains the aesthetic of the original Reverso styles—two distinct, reversible, rectangular-shaped faces—but adds a contemporary look that’s equally elegant and enduring. Honor tradition by wearing the front dial, a clean white face with full calendar at 6 o’clock. To break the mold, flip the dial and reveal a blue sunray face, which features JLC’s new day-night disc and double hour markers. Along with the stainless-steel case, the contrasting styles keep in the true timeless spirit of the iconic Reverso.
THE TRAVELER
Loved by generations of explorers, the Breitling Navitimer has been the preferred watch of aviators worldwide and the official timepiece of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association for more than 70 years. The latest iteration, the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 (ref. AB0137211C1A1), features all the complications you’d expect from the classic Breitling, but it’s a modern refinement of the original.
Wherever your travels take you, show off understated luxury with the watch’s domed sapphire crystal, brushed metal finish and updated dial shades, including the sophisticated blue face shown here. But what many will appreciate most is the return of the AOPA wings to their original 12 o’clock position—a piece of nostalgia that appeals to pilots and timepiece enthusiasts alike.
