HEY, it’s Thursday. Time to loosen up.
You wouldn’t wear a tie with your polo shirt, so once happy hour rolls around, you should take off that slim perpetual calendar and put on something a little more appropriate for the farmers market (or your kid’s soccer game). You can go full-on off-duty with a big, brash chronograph, or you can pump the brakes and opt for something that’s informal but understated. Whatever watch you choose, steel and titanium will take the place of gold and platinum (and you won’t have to manually wind anything).
Here are our favourite weekend warriors.

Tudor Pelagos Blue also adds the same in-house Tudor movement found in the North Flag, a first for Tudor. At 42mm it’s a great size for wearing off-duty and because it’s made of titanium, it won’t weigh you down. The best part? It’s only US$275 more than the previous Pelagos, which used an ETA movement, bringing unbelievable value. US$4,400 (RM16,500). — Bloomberg |
