โ—‡ NAMES โ—‡

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.

Sky Dweller: because when youโ€™re a jet-setter, it just complements your traveling desires. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ›ซ๐Ÿ’ธ

What about the casio GA231000BA77

ยท

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.

ยท

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)

ยท

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 ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Glycine Combat Sub is a cool nameโ€ฆVC Overseas also has a nice ring to itโ€ฆsame for PP Nautilus; immediately takes me back to reading Verneโ€™s โ€˜20,000 leagues under the seaโ€™ as a boyโ€ฆSeamaster, Speedmaster ofc are well chosen namesโ€ฆCartier Tankโ€ฆor the MB&F Starfleet Machine :-) (ok, not a watchโ€ฆ)

Super Ocean

Tactical Frog

Sky Dweller

  • I know itโ€™s already taken but Horizonโ€™s Nautilus (now โ€œN-Diverโ€) is far more deserving of the name than PPโ€™s.

  • Raketaโ€™s โ€œBaikonurโ€, โ€œSchoolโ€ (itโ€™s adorable. Look it up.), โ€œCopernicusโ€

  • Seiko 5 โ€œActusโ€, โ€œSeiko 5โ€

  • Omega Constellation, Flightmaster, Seamaster (the SM 300 really looks aquatic)

  • Orient โ€œBambinoโ€ (if you think about it), โ€œRoyal Orientโ€

  • Tissot โ€œT-Touchโ€.

  • Glycine โ€œAirmanโ€

  • Rolex โ€œExplorerโ€

  • Fortisโ€™s grand-feeling โ€œ Official Cosmonauts Chronographโ€

  • Citizen โ€œNighthawkโ€ and โ€œNavihawkโ€

  • Baltic โ€œBathyscapheโ€

ยท

Steeldive does actually make sense.๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Glycine Airman

G-Shock

Expedition

Flightmaster

ยท

Omiwatari.

Yep, it's the contrarian in me!

ยท

The decision maker at Seiko should see this post. Cool watches, boring numerical names.

ยท

โ€œFifty Fathomsโ€ is pretty coolโ€ฆ I am not a native English speaker, and also, I have a very mild dislexia, so I first thought it was โ€œphantomsโ€ spelled differently, even then I thought it was coolโ€ฆ when I found out what Fathoms meantโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ even cooler

ยท

Anything that has "Master'' in the name is incredibly cool to me

You can add Monza to the TAG list too.

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 thatโ€™s 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.

Didnโ€™t know they did a Monza. Seeing Alonso and then Leclerc win in Ferrari colours !! What a time.

I think thatโ€™s the best Tag Iโ€™ve ever come across. Why have I never seen this before?!

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 ๐Ÿ™Otherwise 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

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