Chanel J12 Marine Watch

Say hello to my new little friend. Not that Chanel Watches Vancouver let me leave with one, but I wanted to. Call me a brand whore but I love what Chanel has done using their watches. Sure I might think twice about sporting a white one out and about, but these new J12 Marine watches are pretty impressive. If you recall, the standard J12 watch looks like a dive watch. It is merely a dive “style” piece, in line with the core Rolex Submariner design (having a different face of course). Now Chanel released a truer diver with 300 meters of water resistant, a more dive worthy legible dial, some interesting design features.

The case is 38 or 42mm wide and in black of white. Still ceramic, the black case is bead-blasted for any matte, rather than shiny finish. Although the white version is still completed with a glossy finish. Going after Blancpain’s 50 Fathoms or IWC’s Aquatimer, the J12 Marine includes a sapphire crystal over the rotating diver’s bezel. I love that look, but it is not for everybody. The case quality is very good, using the watch being solid and comfy. Perhaps a bit small for people who prefer 44mm plus watches, the 42mm wide version is still not too bad. The black with black bezel version is only available in 42mm. How doe you feel about the black with blue bezel? Marine-ish yes, not for everyone, but I like it.

The dial is Rolex Submariner homage in bubbly way, however with an Arabic numeral 12, at 12 o’clock. Chanel Watches In Pakistan uses a fat arrow for the hour hand, and a blue baton hand for the minutes – that is matched to the seconds hand. The hour markers are applied and raised up creating a great look against the simple looking dial. There is tons of lume all over the face too. You can see the cross hair style lines in the middle of the watch face, just like on the standard J12 model.

Chanel has been tight lipped about the movement. Likely and ETA 2892, or equivalent. Nowadays they likely have someone else supplying movements. It is a standard high-quality Swiss three-hand with date automatic. It comes with an interesting engraving on the rear of the case, that is perhaps too simple of computer should be (some wavy lines). Matches to the watch is a cool rubber bracelet. Chanel chosen the highest quality rubber, but it is still flexible. It has vented holes in it to let water in and out. Good for wearing on very humid days actually. Price is going to be in the $5,000 range if memory serves me correctly. These watches are important because it shows that dive watches are still the hottest pieces around, which demand for fashion brands such as Chanel is very high. In fact, these tough economic times appear to indicate that it is fashion brands like Chanel that also have relatively high demand in watches because of the lasting popularity of the brand name.

Looking in the dialup, one may be forgiven for thinking it’s a three-hander using a big-date display within the first few seconds. On the other hand, the Chanel Watch 365 Monsieur de Chanel has no date complication and only tells time. What Chanel has achieved is really a dial which resembles it’s a regular design and is exceptionally legible, and yet manages to differ by incorporating two issues; a jumping hour and retrograde moments. You browse the time starting with the huge window towards the bottom of the dial, that’s the hour display after which to the very top, which is the retrograde minutes and then eventually to a rather traditional sub seconds dial in the centre. Chanel has carefully made the screens so that the second indicator doesn’t overlap the moments. This relatively easy yet powerful presentation is finished by two polished steel hands, and a smattering of numbers and text, in a pleasant, contrasting white.The actual star of this series, is your grand feu enamel dial itself. The original Monsieur de Chanel from this past year, while impressive, did not have an enamel dial and the visual effect which comes with it, especially a black dial. Another haute horlogerie technique, grand feu enamel dials need a painstaking quantity of effort and time to create and are visually unlike any other dial substance commonly used. The repeated application of enamel and firing within the kiln ends in a smooth, unbroken surface that has a gentle, almost imperceptible curvature in it.The Chanel Monsieur de Chanel (such as the Slim d’Hermès), receives a typeface which like the motion, dial, and case, was designed specifically for it. The strong, straight lines of the ribbon make for a wonderful contrast to all the curves and circles around the dial. Such as the lions head logo, this font is going to be utilised in all future Monsieur de Chanel watches.
