Watch Concierge Services

with the original lume watch!

Italian watchmaker Panerai have been producing watches since 1860, concentrating their efforts to create dive watches for the Italian Navy and in doing so, developed Radiomir, a highly-luminous substance for use on watch dials.

The Panerai Radiomir watch was first produced in the 1940s – a large cushion-shaped case with wire lugs, a highly legible dial and reliable mechanical movement, not too dissimilar from this 2017 version.

This PAM00619 was created as a celebration of those early watches, with the added benefit of an automatic movement, visible through an exhibition case back. The in-house Panerai calibre P.4000 has two barrels and boasts an impressive 3-day power reserve, and the use of a micro-rotor means that the movement is that bit thinner, and the watch itself is just 3.95mm thick.

The 45mm case is still fairly substantial in size, however being made from lightweight titanium, it sits well on the wrist and doesn’t feel clumsy like steel watches of a similar size can feel. The slim bezel has a polished finish, adding an element of luxury and contrasting against the brushed case middle.

I’m a huge fan of a sandwich dial and love the simplicity of this design. The creamy luminous hands and indices match the dark brown of the dial, and the matt finish makes the dial appear black in some lights.

The watch is paired with a brown leather Panerai strap, and would look just as good on any number of straps from black alligator to a green rubber or even a NATO.

We are pleased to present this watch in an excellent pre-owned condition. The movement has been tested and is running well, and as such as are pleased to supply the watch with a 6-month warranty, along with its original box and paperwork.

Laventure Transatlantique GMT - for those looking for something a little different

You won’t find a Laventure watch in your local AD. You won’t see one in the pub, and you’re unlikely to see one at a watch meet-up. There are micro-brands, and then there are exclusive, sought-after, IYKYK micro-brands. Laventure is the latter.

Founded by Clément Gaud as a kickstarter in 2017, the brand releases new models in very limited numbers. For example, there are only 100 pieces of this 2021 Transatlantique, 50 with a green dial and 50 with the cream dial we have here. All 100 watches sold out within two hours of their release.

Inspired by an adventurous spirit, the Transatlantique gives a nod to those first long-haul flights that took place in the 1950s. Those early transatlantic pilots needed a watch that was able to display multiple time zones simultaneously and as such the GMT watch was born.

An arrow-tipped GMT hand allows the wearer to track a second time zone, and a rotating bezel with a 24-hour insert indicates an additional time zone.

The sandwich dial is a thing of beauty – a light cream colour is highlighted with soft green accents and over-sized cut-outs allow for peachy-coloured Super-LumiNova® to glow through from the plate below.

The 40.5mm steel case is predominantly brushed, with polished finished used to highlight its smooth lines and sharp edges. The crown and crown guards at 3 o’clock are mirrored by a ‘wing’ at 9 o’clock to keep balance, and a steel integrated bracelet gives a seamless feel to the design. The bracelet itself is very comfortable and well-made.

Underneath a brilliantly decorated case back, the watch is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2893-2 automatic movement, known to be reliable and robust enough for everyday wear.

We are excited to present this watch in an excellent pre-owned condition. It comes supplied with a striking presentation box, inspired by a special edition of the book ‘The Extraordinary Voyages’ by Jules Verne.

An interesting and unusual Speedmaster, supplied with an Omega Archive Extract, confirming it was distributed by Omega to Germany in 1972. This particular watch was also the subject of a feature on by Omega authority RJ Broer.

The Omega Speedmaster (Professional) Mark III reference 176.002 was introduced in 1971 and was the first automatic chronograph movement to be used in a Speedmaster. Lemania (known for their expertise in manufacturing high quality movements) jointly developed this calibre 1040a movement with Omega. It offers a functionality not seen in most Speedmaster models and features a date display, and hands for the hours, minutes, constant seconds, chronograph seconds, chronograph minutes and chronograph hour counter, as well as a 24-hour display.

The substantial case of this Speedmaster Mark III reflects the changing attitudes of the early 70's, when chunkier watches were starting to be favoured. With a diameter of 41mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 51.6mm, it certainly has a significant wrist presence, with all the charm of watches from that era.

We are excited to present this watch in an excellent condition, having been very well looked after by its previous owner who purchased the watch pre-owned from Hong Kong in 2009 (purchased receipt supplied). Since then, it has received two maintenance services from an Omega-certified service centre (including new period-correct hands), as well as being sent to Omega Switzerland where they were able to provide an Extract of the Archives (further paperwork supplied).

The movement has been tested and found to be running well, and as such the watch will be supplied with a 6-month warranty.

The case is showing little signs of wear, having had a light restoration. The dial, believed to be original, is in a very good condition and the hour markers retain a full, creamy tritium patina. The period correct bracelet, reference 1162, shows evidence of wear consistent with its age. However, I think that this watch would also look great on any variety of straps.

£2,650

The Montblanc Heritage range takes inspiration from the classic design of Minerva watches from the 1940s and 1950s. They combine an elegant aesthetic with modern-day watchmaking.

The standout piece from this 2020 reference 119944 is that striking salmon dial – the contrasting sunburst and grained finishes really catch the light, and the applied anthracite indices provide enough contrast that the watch remains legible.

The 40mm case has a polished finish, adding to that dress watch feel. The solid case back features an elaborate engraving of the Minerva factory.

The watch is paired with a grey Sfumato alligator strap, produced in the Richemont Pelletteria in Florence, Italy.

This piece perfectly elevates the simple dress watch with its beautiful salmon dial, and would make a wonderful addition to any watch collection.

It comes supplied with its original box and papers, and a 6-month warranty from Watch Concierge Services.

Tropical vibes on an autumnal Monday 🌴🥥🍹

There are few watches as iconic as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Often known as the ultimate luxury sports watch, it combines haute horology with everyday wearability.

Created by watch designer, Gérald Genta, in 1972, the Royal Oak wasn’t an immediate hit. Its octagonal bezel, tapisserie dial and integrated bracelet weren’t like anything else on the market and a long stretch from a classic Patek Philippe Calatrava or uncomplicated Rolex Submariner. Yet, with some clever marketing, it soon became a firm favourite among watch collectors.

50 years on, and with over 500 variations, the Royal Oak is as popular as it’s ever been. In more recent years, we’ve seen some enthusiasts swap out their 44mm Off Shores for something a little smaller on the wrist, and that’s why this reference 15000ST is one of my favourites.

The slim case fits well on the wrist, yet that iconic bezel and bracelet design means that the watch still has a real presence.

This piece features a grande tapisserie dial – a miniature pyramid design that catches the light. However, this particular dial has naturally discoloured over time, creating this beautiful “tropical” brown colour.

Powering the watch is an automatic calibre 2140 movement, based on Jaeger-LeCoultre 960. The movement is running well, having recently undergone a full service, and as such we’re pleased to supply the watch with a 12-month warranty.

The case is predominately brushed with some polished edges and is in an excellent condition. The original bracelet is showing evidence of wear, however there is an option to have a custom-made strap fitted if you wish to preserve the bracelet.

Overall, this iconic watch is not only an important piece in the history of watch design, but extremely comfortable to wear, and very charming too!

We always love to bring you something a bit different. Allow us to introduce the CODE41 NB24 "Creator Edition" - available now

CODE41 don’t consider themselves as a watch brand, but more of a community project to bring together watch enthusiasts and create watchmaking projects.

In 2021 they released this very special NB24 Creator Edition, pushing the boundaries of design and technology.

The skeletonised dial allows the wearer to appreciate the customised movement, created in collaboration with movement manufacturer Concepto. It is based on the iconic Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph, but constructed with bold bridges and rotating discs, giving the watch an industrial feel.

Furthermore, they have replaced the traditional half-moon shaped rotor weight with a circular rotor weight which rotates around the periphery of the dial. Not only does it allow you to fully appreciate the movement, but also showcases the technical abilities of the movement manufacturer.

The 42mm case is made from Aerocarbon a dense, aeronautical grade carbon fibre which is not only durable but 2x lighter than titanium, meaning that the watch weights just 64g. It also offers a distinctive finish which, along with the complex case design, adds to the urban aesthetic.

The watch is paired with a black perforated leather strap, featuring quick-release spring bars and fitted with a black folding deployant clasp.

We are excited to present this watch in an excellent, like-new condition with no evidence of wear to the case and very light wear to the leather strap. It comes supplied with its original box and paperwork, including a 6-month warranty.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Olimpico Limited Edition - available now

First produced in 1975, the Laureato has proven to be popular with watch enthusiasts who love how the case carefully combines soft curves with sharp edges, and its integrated bracelet gives a seamless look and is extremely comfortable to wear.

In 1996 Girard-Perregaux released this Olimpico edition to celebrate the Atlanta Olympic Games. They were limited to just 999 pieces, of which only 333 have this silver dial.

The dial itself is decorated with a hobnail, or Clous de Paris pattern, which subtly catches the light. Steel hands and silver-coloured rings around the subdials provide legibility, enabling the wearer to make full use of the chronograph – essential for any sports watch.

The 40mm steel case sits well on the wrist, and that iconic octagonal polished bezel provides a contrast against the brushed finish on the rest of the case. The crown is also octagonal, to both match the bezel and allow ease of use.

The watch is presented in a very good pre-owned condition, showing some evidence of wear consistent with its age. It comes supplied with a Girard-Perregaux box and booklet, and a 6-month warranty from Watch Concierge Services.

Green, mirrored or black - which is your favourite background?

The Rolex Datejust 41 Mint Green is a truly striking watch. Its highly polished steel case and sunburst green dial catch the light in a way that reflects the true quality of this watch.

The smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet give a sporty edge to a classic watch, meaning this piece works well with both formal wear and more of a relaxed look.

We are excited to present this watch in an unworn condition, supplied with its original box and paperwork including a Rolex warranty to 2027.

The Aqua Terra was introduced to the Omega range in 2002 and was one of the first models to be fitted with the co-axial movement, a revolutionary development by British watchmaker George Daniels, and one which is still used in Omega movements today.

This 2015 Golf Edition sees Omega combining technical accuracy with stylish design, to celebrate Omega’s long association with the sport.

The steel case measures 41.5mm, an ideal size spot for a steel sports watch, and has both brushed and polished finishes.

In keeping with the Aqua Terra range, the silver dial features vertical stripes, reminiscent of the wooden decks of luxury sailboats. Blue steel hands allow for easy legibility, and the hour hand is shaped with the iconic “Broad Arrow”, giving a nod to the early Seamaster models. A gold seconds hand adds an element of luxury.

Through an exhibition case back you can view the automatic Omega Calibre 8500 movement which is Chronometre-certified and has a power reserve of 60 hours.

Paired with a steel bracelet, and water resistant to 150m, the Aqua Terra is suitable for any adventure. But paired with a simple black strap, could work equally as well in a more formal setting.

We are pleased to present this watch in an excellent, like-new condition having recently been serviced and refinished by Omega UK, and as such it comes with a two-year Omega service warranty. It also comes supplied with its original box and paperwork including swing tag and purchase receipt.

Omega Speedmaster Hesalite - Available now

£4,150

With additional Omega NATO strap, full set box & papers and a 6-month warranty.
..

There are few watches as well-loved as the Omega Speedmaster. It has been included in all six lunar missions and is an impressive representation of Omega's adventurous pioneering spirit.

This reference 311.30.42.30.01.005 is a modern-day interpretation of the early 1960s Moonwatches that NASA declared “flight-qualified for all manned space missions”.

The matt black dial has contrasting white hands which allow the wearer to easily read the time, alongside a small seconds sub-dial, 30-minute recorder, 12-hour recorder and central chronograph hand. Framing the dial is a black bezel featuring a tachymetric scale.

The 42mm steel case has both brushed and polished finishes, highlighting its sleek edges. The closed case back shows an engraving of the Hippocampus, a mythological Greek seahorse that Omega have used since 1958. It also features a reference to the Speedmaster as the first watch worn on the moon.

Powering the watch is an Omega Calibre 1861 manual-wind movement. It’s a descendant of the movement worn on the moon and offers 48 hours of power reserve.

Fitted to the watch is a robust Omega steel bracelet and also supplied is an additional Omega black NATO strap and Omega black Velcro strap. It would also look great on any variety of leather straps.

The watch is in an excellent pre-owned condition and is presented in an impressive Omega case, complete with a loupe, spring bar tool and Speedmaster medallion. Also supplied is a warranty card and pictograms card in a card holder, and an instruction booklet, a Speedmaster booklet, bracelet booklet, swing tag, and a six-month warranty from Watch Concierge Services.

H. Moser & Cie Streamliner Smoked Salmon - available for sale

We are pleased to bring to the market this very rare Moser timepiece.

When the Streamliner collection was released, a wave of excitement swept through the watch community as it brought a fresh take to the much-loved steel sports watch. The cushion-shaped case has bold curves and a predominantly brushed finish, and at 40mm it has a presence on the wrist, yet is extremely comfortable to wear, aided by Moser’s unique bracelet design. Furthermore, with a water resistance of 120m, the Streamliner is suitable for everyday wear.

However, on this 2023 version, the pièce de resistance is the smoked salmon fumé dial – striking in photographs but truly breath-taking on the wrist. A deep brushing technique allows for the colour to playfully change from almost black to a shimmering pink-bronze.

The colour itself is described by the good-humoured folk at Moser as taking inspiration from a rare species of salmon that is massaged daily with herb-infused oils.

Being a time-only watch, it allows the wearer to fully appreciate the expanse of the dial, and Moser have even chosen a “transparent” logo, which only appears in certain lights.

Through an exhibition case back you can appreciate Moser’s HMC 200 automatic movement, which offers an impressive 3-day power reserve.

In keeping with Moser’s slogan “Very Rare” this watch was only produced for one year and there are thought to be only 200 pieces worldwide.

We are pleased to present this very special watch in an excellent pre-owned condition, showing only light signs of wear. It comes supplied as a full set, including a Moser warranty to September 2025.

Vintage Breitling Navitimer 816 - Available Now

£2,300

The Breitling Navitimer is one of the world’s most iconic watches, originally introduced in 1952 as a pilot’s watch. The slide rule enables the wearer to make calculations, such as fuel consumption, with an easy turn of the bezel.

In 1968, Breitling released this reference 816, a large 48mm watch with a case produced by EPSA Piquerez, famed for making water-resistant cases at that time.

The black dial is fondly named “Big Eyes” due to its silver subdials, and is brought to life with its striking orange-red chronograph hands. A Twin Jet logo at 12 o’clock sits above the words “BREITLING GENEVE” and “NAVITIMER”
 
Powering the watch is the manual-wind Venus 178, a movement also used in the popular Navitimer 806.

This watch is supplied in a condition consistent with its age, having been worn and enjoyed for many years. The movement has been tested and is running well.

Tudor Black Bay 41 - now £1,850

The Tudor Black Bay range of watches has got to be one of the most-loved collections of all time. Their designs are legible and easy to wear, they are extremely durable and well-made and offer fantastic value for money.

While many are familiar with the dive watches, this reference 79540 swaps the rotating bezel for a smooth steel version, placing the watch perfectly between a tool watch and a dress watch, ideal for everyday wear.

This 41mm version is also slimmer than its dive watch siblings at just over 11mm. The steel case has both brushed and polished finishes, and the screw-down crown is decorated with the iconic Tudor Rose.

The dial configuration is one that we know and love - a royal blue colour with generously lume-filled indices and a snowflake hour hand. Perhaps my favourite feature is the ETA Smile Dial – the curved “SELF-WINDING” indicating that the movement inside is a reliable ETA 2824. While there are pros and cons when you compare the ETA version against the newer Tudor in-house calibres, I will mention that you will never be short of good watchmakers who can service an ETA movement.

The watch is fitted with a comfortable steel bracelet, yet would also look great on any number of straps.

We are pleased to present this watch in a very good pre-owned condition. There is some evidence of wear, however there is also the option to have the watch refinished if you wish.

It comes supplied as a full set and is still covered by its Tudor warranty to July 2025.

Name a better watch for a

The Aquaracer is one of Tag Heuer’s most popular collections, offering fantastic value for money and proving to be a reliable dive watch, suitable for any adventure.

This 2022 Night Diver takes inspiration from the fully-lumed dials of the 1000 Series watches from the 1980s. The striped opaline white dial is completely luminescent and transforms to a glowing green in low light, allowing for high legibility no matter the conditions.

The 43mm steel case has been treated with a hard-wearing black DLC coating, giving the watch a stealthy feel. The angular bezel is fitted with a matt black ceramic insert, which adds to the sporty aesthetic. Continuing the monochrome design, bold octagonal black indices echo the shape of the bezel and add to the legibility.

Powering the watch is the Tag Heuer Calibre 5 movement – a reliable Swiss-made automatic movement.

In keeping with the sporty design, the watch is paired with a black rubber strap, its horizontal grooves continuing on from the dial. The folding clasp is fitted with a comfort extension, allowing the wearer to quickly and easily adjust the size of the strap.

We are excited to present this watch in an excellent pre-owned condition, supplied with its original box and paperwork and a 6-month warranty.

£2,450

Vintage Breitling Chono-Matic 2110 - now £2,975

We are excited to bring to the market this exceptional example of an early Breitling Chrono-Matic reference 2110 from 1969.

Its striking design features vibrant red and orange accents in keeping with the style of that era.

The steel case is fitted with a two-tone bi-directional rotating bezel – the silver ring giving the optical illusion of a larger dial. A bright red triangle at 12 o’clock matches the red on the minute counter and works well with orange open-tipped hands. A framed date window at 6 o’clock sits beneath a simple “CHRONO-MATIC”.

However, beneath the charming aesthetic lies a true piece of history – the Calibre 11 movement. The movement was born as a result of Project 99, which, in 1969, saw Breitling, Heuer-Léonidas, Hamilton-Büren and Dubois-Depraz collaborate to create one of the first automatic chronographs. The movement is easily recognised by its unusual crown positioning at 9 o’clock and two pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock and Heuer (later Tag Heuer) and Hamilton went on to also create watches using the same movement.

This 55-year old watch is presented in an excellent condition, showing light patina to the dial and hands, and light wear to the case. In particular, we noted the crisp edges on the lugs and clear engravings on the case back.

The movement has been tested and found to be running well, and as such, we are pleased to supply the watch with a 6-month warranty.

The watch comes with a Breitling travel case and is fitted with a black leather strap, however additional straps are available.

While the Tank is an established member of the Cartier family, the Basculante is the fun cousin, rarely seen but guaranteed to bring a smile to your face when it unexpectedly turns up to the party.

The Basculante was first produced in 1932 and features a folding “cabriolet” case – by pulling on the tab at 12 o’clock, the wearer is able to flip the centre of the case to reveal the inner case back and protect the face. Or, as I prefer, balance the case, and use the watch as a desk clock.

The model was retired until the late 1990s when Cartier released a number of versions, including this reference 2405. The steel case measures 24mm x 35mm, suitable for any wrist size, and paired with a leather or alligator strap, makes for a very handsome dress watch.

Much like the Tank, most Basculante models feature a white Roman numeral dial but we are pleased to bring you the rarer grey dial with Arabic numerals. When you look closer, you can see that it has a subtle guilloche pattern, adding to that sense of luxury.

Cartier discontinued the Basculante range in the mid-2000’s, meaning that there aren’t many available on the open market, fewer still in a condition as good as this piece. And while I would never claim that a watch will become “collectable” in the future, there is certainly something very special and charming about this folding watch, and it’s a piece that I think would fit well into any watch collection.
