Read on for the most hyped watches on Chrono24 in July.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15703ST.OO.A002CA.01

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver is a highly desirable timepiece that has earned acclaim among collectors. Notably, the Royal Oak line by Audemars Piguet holds significant esteem within the watch industry, being recognized as a significant contribution from one of the top three brands: Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and undoubtedly, Rolex.

1. On Chrono24, demand for this model reached its highest point last month compared to the previous year’s calendar. AP’s dive watch collection is relatively small, but the Offshore Diver stands out with its more curved edges, which complement its 42mm case size exceptionally well. The inclusion of a chronograph function adds uniqueness to this model, making it particularly desirable — and it’s hard not to spot variations of the Royal Oak in Hollywood and the sporting world. Drake, Serena Williams, John Mayer, Justin Bieber, Steph Curry, and Travis Scott are just a few celebrities who are die-hard fans and are often seen wearing their favorite AP watches.

Tudor Black Bay GMT M79830RB-0001

People from all over who appreciate watches are familiar with the inherent worth of the legendary Tudor label, which is related to Rolex. However, despite this widely recognized connection, Tudor has maintained a level of respect that remains somewhat understated, offering a refreshing lack of pomposity that can sometimes be found among some overly boastful Rolex enthusiasts.

As a seasoned watch enthusiast with a penchant for practicality and versatility, I find myself captivated by the Tudor Black Bay GMT. With its robust construction and utilitarian design, it effortlessly bridges the gap between everyday wearability and professional functionality.

Seiko 5 Sports SRPD55K1

The Seiko fan base is remarkably strong, boasting an extensive network of collectors who have a profound affection for the brand. The Seiko 5 Sports collection, dating back to the 1960s, is a reliable sports watch that has stood the test of time. On Chrono24, its popularity in July surpassed any other month since early 2023, demonstrating a significant uptick. As an affordable and mechanically sound watch, the Seiko 5 Sports series provides dependable sports performance with added features such as a transparent caseback to view the intricate workings within, giving it a sense of sophistication.

Omega Seamaster 22545000

Discussing enduring fan devotion, OMEGA enthusiasts remain faithful to their timepieces and the rich history behind its watches, which have been entwined with numerous significant global events throughout history. Notably, Seamaster enthusiasts count Prince William, Daniel Craig, Andrew Garfield among them, and exclusive editions of this model were produced for the America’s Cup and Olympic Games – in fact, OMEGA has served as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932. Coinciding with the Paris Olympics, there was a surge in demand for the Omega Seamaster on Chrono24, with growth in July by over 50% compared to any month since the beginning of 2023.

Rolex Air-King 14010

The Rolex Air-King, a less commonly recognized timepiece from a globally acclaimed luxury watchmaker, showcases an unusual engine-turned bezel and houses the Caliber 3130 movement. It also comes with a compact, unisex case measuring 34mm, replicating a classic design introduced in the year 2000. This particular model has graced the red carpet multiple times, notably on Ryan Gosling’s wrist. On Chrono24, demand for this Rolex model has remained relatively consistent since February 2023, but there was a significant surge of over 50% in marketplace interest during July.
