Watch This: Chanel J12
Celebrating ONLY WATCH 2011, famous French fashion house Chanel has released a unique model of the J12 Diver timepiece. “The case, in sand-blasted black ceramic and 18kt rose gold, measures 38mm. It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 300 meters. Movement is a Swiss automatic (base ETA) with a power reserve of 42 hours.”
Taking design cues from a slew of legendary horological inspirations, the watch is a fully functional diver, equipped with Swiss automatic movement and capable of delving up to 300 meters before succumbing to the pressure of the deep. The true beauty of this piece, however, is its luxurious styling. Complete with a sand-blasted blacked-out ceramic case, sapphire crystal, sporty rubber band and 18kt rose gold detailing, this 38mm watch is surely a statement piece. Somehow we doubt you’d use it much for diving as it'll cost you about 5 racks [$5,000+]
