Christmas is a magical time of the year to spend with loved ones, drink mulled wine, eat too many celebrations and over indulge generally. There’s also the excitement of giving and receiving gifts.
If you’re looking for something for that important person in your life this festive period, you wouldn’t be able to do much better than a luxury Swiss watch. It’s a gift that will last for generations, have sentimental value and of course make someone’s Christmas very special indeed.
With the 25th just around the corner, here at Edinburgh Watch Company we’ve been doing our best to make sure we’ve got something special for everyone. Whether it’s for that petrol head, the aviator, the sailor or diamond lover in your life.
Girrard-Perregeaux
For someone who loves their cars we have 3 very special Girrard-Perregeaux Ferrari watches. One made in titanium, one 18ct rose gold and the other 18ct white gold. All perfect for someone who loves their cars and their limited-edition timepieces.We also recently bought a very special Porsche design watch, themed subtly with the crystal back displaying the automatic movement, designed to replicate a 911 turbo alloy.

For those who prefer their planes we have a stunning IWC Pilot’s watch, with the dial resembling a pressure dial from a Spitfire. Very elegant on an alligator leather strap with the rose gold case. A must have for any pilot.
Breitling
We also have an unworn Breitling Chronomat 41 Airborne 30th, a name synonymous with dependability and functionality for any aviation enthusiast. Considered by many to be the ultimate chronograph.The sailors, sea farers and divers we’ve got a fantastic selection, for a start, we we’re very glad to recently take in a mint condition Breitling Superocean Heritage. A very popular model in the Breitling range in our view the perfect size with its 42mm case. This diver’s watch water-resistant to 200 m (660 ft.) echoes the functional and elegant design of the legendary 1950s model
Omega
From Omega we have two incredible unworn Planet Ocean 600m Chrono watches. Omega’s relationship with the ocean is a voyage in itself: a long, rich and varied history.
These two watches are absolutely outstanding with one being stainless steel and the other being titanium they are robust, reliable and built to withstand immense pressure. Most impressively, the dials and bezels have been created from ceramic, a sleek effect that is enhanced by Liquidmetal® numbers and scaling.
Panerai
If you’re looking for something a little more special then we have a stunning, limited edition 2011 Officine Panerai Radiomir Regatta. One of only 500, made in titanium.
The association between classic yachting and Officine Panerai is internationally renowned. For or the sixth edition of Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, an international circuit of regattas reserved for vintage and classic sailing boats, Officine Panerai created this very special limited-edition watch, the Radiomir Regatta 1/8th Second Titanio. A split-seconds chronograph with a 1/8th second foudroyante function and an express scale in knots for the calculation of the average speed of the vessel. This is the skipper’s watch.
Rolex
Rolex and the seas need no introduction, with a range of watches all built to withstand the immense pressure and strain that comes with being in the water. A Submariner is a fantastic daily watch, classic style, durable and understated. We have two fantastic examples in at the moment, one stainless steel and the other with 18ct gold.
For thew ladies we have two beautiful Rolex Yachtmaster’s which recently arrived, one being a 2001 29mm with a solid platinum dial/bezel and stainless-steel case and the other is an unworn 37mm in stainless steel and 18ct everose gold with a chocolate dial, both immaculate watches.
The Sea-Dweller is a popular model which is becoming increasingly harder to source, with its larger, thicker case, these watches can withstand depths of up to 3900 meters. Rarely seen in dealers in the UK, we have one unworn 2017 Rolex Sea-Dweller Deep Sea in stock.
Again, if you’re looking for something a little more special then we are delighted to have just taken this jaw dropping Rolex Sea-Dweller Deep Blue, aka The James Cameron into stock. Almost impossible to source in dealers, we have this 2017 unworn example just in time to make someone’s Christmas one to remember.
