Just 3 Watches? The MINIMUM Watch Collection And How to Build It

How many luxury watches does it take to build a watch collection? Alternatively, how many watches must you own to be a "watch collector?" One watch isn't enough, and two is just a "pair." Tim Mosso proposes a new definition of a watch collection: three or more fine watches. Tonight, Tim shows his audience how to build a small but satisfying collection of watches with brands that include Omega, Rolex, and Breitling.

Every watch collection needs a dive watch, and the Omega Seamaster is an ideal pillar of any collector's trio. The 42mm Seamaster Diver 300M debuted in its original form in 1993 and in its current form in 2018. With a 300-meter diving depth and a helium escape valve, it has more capability than most men need, but that's how luxury is. The full-bracelet Seamaster Diver 300M is a co-axial Master chronometer with a retail price of $5,900. Not only is that practically half the price of a Rolex Submariner, but Omega offers several dial, metal, and strap options in the Diver 300M line.

The Rolex Milgauss is a watch for technicians, engineers, and anyone who works in proximity to strong magnetic fields. The Milgauss 116400 GV Z-Blue is more colorful than most Rolex sports watches, but it packs the same capability as its less lively Milgauss brethren.

The 40mm stainless steel Milgauss includes an anti-magnetic Parachrom Blue overcoil hairspring, a soft iron cage to deflect magnetic fields, and a nickel-based antimagnetic escapement. The standout "Z-Blue" version of the watch includes an electric blue dial under a green tinted sapphire crystal with orange dial accents. This discontinued Rolex model now commands prices between $12,000 and $14,000 as a used watch.

2021 marked the arrival of Breitling's best new model in years, the Premier B09 Chronograph with "pistachio" green dial. More than just a pretty face, the Premier B09 proved that Breitling's image rehabilitation was working. At 40mm in stainless steel with a no-date dial and a manual wind caliber B09 movement, the Breitling "Pistachio" became the company's first model in ages to command a waiting list at dealers. Its classical design recalls Breitling Premier chronographs of the 1940s and 1950s, and the smaller case is in tune with current trends in watch design

Tonight's episode includes all of these models plus watches from the following brands; Patek Philippe; Vacheron Constantin, (Seiko) Credor, Minase, Citizen, Bovet, Blancpain, Ulysse Nardin, and H. Moser & Cie.


All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"
