Anniversary watches are a funny thing. Some, like the Doxa SUB 300T 50th<\/sup> anniversary<\/a> watch are virtual replicas of their ancestors. Others, like the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona<\/a> 50th<\/sup> Anniversary piece, are more extensions of the reference, perhaps even introducing new materials. Still others, like the numerous Moon landing anniversary Omega<\/a> Speedmasters, are simply commemoratives.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at some of these pieces.<\/p>\n

Rolex Daytona – 50th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Platinum<\/a>
Rolex Anniversary Daytona ref. 116506<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the Cosmograph Daytona<\/a> in 2013, Rolex released an updated version of the watch in platinum and with a ceramic bezel, ref. 116506. This was the second Daytona to sport a ceramic bezel ( the first was 2011\u2019s Everose version). But it was the first time ever that the Daytona had appeared in 950 platinum.<\/p>\n

Being platinum, and being Rolex, the dial is ice blue, a color which contrasts beautifully with the chestnut Cerachrom bezel and lacquered sub-dial chapter rings. The rest of the watch is pure Daytona, including Rolex\u2019s great calibre 4130 purring away beneath the ice-blue dial.<\/p>\n

This watch is not a limited edition. Four years later, the watch is still in Rolex\u2019s catalog. That may limit its collectability somewhat, but still\u2026 the first-ever platinum Daytona? And the $75,000+ price tag helps keep it exclusive.<\/p>\n

Doxa SUB 300T – 50th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Doxa<\/a>
Doxa SUB 300T<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the other end of the price spectrum, several months ago (Summer 2016) you could have gotten an equally iconic 50th<\/sup> Anniversary piece – the Doxa SUB 300T<\/a>. Unlike the 50th<\/sup> Daytona, this one was severely limited – 300 each in Professional (orange dial), Sharkhunter (black dial), and Searambler (silver dial).<\/p>\n

The SUB 300T is that anniversary watch that is a nearly exact duplicate of the original, right down to the printing on the dial and the fact that an original beads-of-rice bracelet from 50 years ago fits the current watch with no issues. The biggest change is the domes sapphire crystal, an exact duplicate of the original\u2019s plexi.<\/p>\n

I think this one flew under the radar of most watch nerds. Doxa isn’t necessarily a high-production, high-profile brand. They prefer to keep pounding out tools for their fans. At this writing, it’s hard to tell if any are still available.<\/p>\n

Omega Speedmaster Professional \u2013 Speedy Tuesday 5th<\/sup> Anniversary
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"SpeedyTuesday<\/a>
SpeedyTuesday Speedmaster by Omega<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And now for something crazy different. Just days before this writing, Omega released a limited edition Omega Speedmaster which made history as the first-ever Omega to be sold directly to the public via the Omega website. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, Omega made the announcement via their Instagram feed.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re not familiar with \u201cSpeedy Tuesday,\u201d the hashtag #speedytuesday is one of the most-used in all of social media. Every Tuesday, raving fans of the Speedmaster wear their Speedys and post photos with that hashtag.<\/p>\n

The tradition was started five years ago by Robert-Jan Broerof Fratellowatches, a consummate Speedmaster connoisseur if ever there was one, when he posted a photo of his personal Speedmaster \u2013 on a Tuesday \u2013 and labeled it simply #speedytuesday. Omega felt compelled to release this limited edition of 2012 pieces \u2013 which sold out in something like three or four hours.<\/p>\n

Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller \u2013 50th<\/sup> Anniversary?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Double<\/a>
Double Read Sea-Dweller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one\u2019s pure speculation folks, but 2017 is<\/em> the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the release of the original Sea-Dweller. Those early watches were labeled with two lines of red printing<\/a>: SEA-DWELLER and SUBMARINER 2000.<\/p>\n

The Sea-Dweller is a venerable watch, with as loyal a following as any Rolex model going. Could Rolex have something up their sleeve for Baselworld this year?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s already speculation on social media, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
