Now going all the way around: Disregarding the watch itself, what are some of the best Models names (not brands) for a watch? MINE:
Alpinist - Tough and elegant
Black Bay - I can't help to picture some Pirate story everytime I hear that name. So yo-ho, yo-ho.
Monaco - Love the name, not the watch.
Sea dweller....good name
Sky Dweller: because when youโre a jet-setter, it just complements your traveling desires. ๐ธ๐ซ๐ธ
Grand Seiko SBJKFS28464518
Grand Seiko SBJKFS28464518
What about the casio GA231000BA77
Seriously tho, I like the name of some Tags. Carrera (being a Porsche lover), Monaco (great memories there). I just wish I liked the actual watches. Have to say the new glass box is a beauty but at ยฃ5.6k, no chance.
Seamaster and Submariner.. the name is enough to tell you it was designed to be used at depths

Im with you on both, Carrera and Monaco, 2 of the best Models names IMO.
Sorry to be basic, but THE EXPLORER is about as good as you can get, imo. Perfect branding.

100% agreed
Aquascaphe. A mashup of "aqua" and "batyscaphe". Beautiful name for a diver (Baltic)
Venture. Mostly from the sound - it's like adventure, but more dangerous. Short and to the point. (Boldr)
Autavia. A sentimental one - a hundred years ago, Avia used to make aeroplanes. Fifty years ago, they made crappy lorries. This watch says "I was made for flying, both in the air or on roads". (Heuer)
Milgauss, Alpinist, and hated by many Deepseahunter (used by Addiesdive, Chinese homage brand) somehow I just love it, maybe because English is not my first language and it sounds cool rather than silly to me ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Glycine Combat Sub is a cool nameโฆVC Overseas also has a nice ring to itโฆsame for PP Nautilus; immediately takes me back to reading Verneโs โ20,000 leagues under the seaโ as a boyโฆSeamaster, Speedmaster ofc are well chosen namesโฆCartier Tankโฆor the MB&F Starfleet Machine :-) (ok, not a watchโฆ)
Super Ocean
Tactical Frog
Sky Dweller
I know itโs already taken but Horizonโs Nautilus (now โN-Diverโ) is far more deserving of the name than PPโs.
Raketaโs โBaikonurโ, โSchoolโ (itโs adorable. Look it up.), โCopernicusโ
Seiko 5 โActusโ, โSeiko 5โ
Omega Constellation, Flightmaster, Seamaster (the SM 300 really looks aquatic)
Orient โBambinoโ (if you think about it), โRoyal Orientโ
Tissot โT-Touchโ.
Glycine โAirmanโ
Rolex โExplorerโ
Fortisโs grand-feeling โ Official Cosmonauts Chronographโ
Citizen โNighthawkโ and โNavihawkโ
Baltic โBathyscapheโ
Steeldive does actually make sense.๐
Glycine Airman
G-Shock
Expedition
Flightmaster
Omiwatari.
Yep, it's the contrarian in me!
The decision maker at Seiko should see this post. Cool watches, boring numerical names.
โFifty Fathomsโ is pretty coolโฆ I am not a native English speaker, and also, I have a very mild dislexia, so I first thought it was โphantomsโ spelled differently, even then I thought it was coolโฆ when I found out what Fathoms meantโฆ ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐คฏ even cooler
Anything that has "Master'' in the name is incredibly cool to me
You can add Monza to the TAG list too.
There's a Monza?????
I like the name of Universal Geneve's Polerouter, but what is it? Every time I hear that name I think of a stripper.
Maybe thatโs why you like it!
A couple of watch names I love:
Seamaster, Globemaster and Railmaster
Fifty Fathoms and Bathyscaphe
Panthere
Carrera
SeaWolf
Explorer, Submariner, Daytona and Milgauss
Nautilus
Reverso
Panthere is a sexy name. Seawolf reminds me of a Mortal zoom at character.

Didnโt know they did a Monza. Seeing Alonso and then Leclerc win in Ferrari colours !! What a time.

NO WAY!!!! Monza is the name of the last F1 Race my favorite driver won. Thanks for that!
I think thatโs the best Tag Iโve ever come across. Why have I never seen this before?!
Astronaut

It was a 40th anniversary edition. The original was released in 1976. I'm hoping there's a 50th edition in a couple of years time. If there is I will be waiting ๐Otherwise I'll pick up one of these bad boys on the used market. It's my favourite TAG by some margin and I'm a bit of a TAG fan boy ๐

Yes, probably the best model name there is. And something I may not be able to attain ๐
