Laings specialises in purchasing and selling pre-owned watches. With a large selection of luxury brands, the collection is a treasure trove for watch lovers to behold. Laings Pre-Owned Manager, James Crawford, has carefully selected three of the collection’s most incredible timepieces for you to explore.
The OMEGA Seamaster Diver GMT series was first launched in 1998 to mark the 50th anniversary of the prestigious Seamaster collection. This later 2006 example features a satisfying blend of vintage aesthetics with modern performance and engineering. GMT diver watches usually have larger case sizes due to the additional parts in the movement. This piece sits comfortably at 41mm, with a crisp black and silver aluminium rotating bezel. The red accents on the GMT hand, second hand and text break up the design of this piece, ensuring it stands out from the crowd. Being part of the Seamaster collection, it benefits from 300m water resistance, sapphire crystal glass and a strong stainless steel bracelet, ensuring this watch can be worn at all times, for all occasions. If you're looking for something to wear regularly, but stands apart from the more modern calibres, this gem could be the Pre-Owned watch for you.
Cartier are synonymous with creating some of the most beautiful timepieces in the history of watchmaking. However, up until the late 2000’s, they relied on purchasing watch movements for their timepieces. That all changed with the introduction of the Calibre de Cartier, Cartier’s first collection with dedicated in-house manufacture calibre movements. This coincides with Cartier’s first voyage into the world of sports/divers’ watch. The Calibre de Cartier Diver was launched in 2013 and has been a mainstay in the collection ever since. Where beauty meets brawn, the Calibre offers luxury touches of gold, with the strength of ceramic and stainless steel. Its rubber strap is the perfect accompaniment for a watch water resistant to 300m.
An icon of the Tag Heuer collection, the Monaco wristwatch has been part of motor racing history since its launch in 1969. The square shaped case design was the first automatic wristwatch in a square case to be completely water resistant. In 1971, Steve McQueen famously wore a Monaco watch in the film ‘Le Mans’, cementing its place in popular culture for generations to come. This black dial variation of the Monaco is part of our new aged stock selection, which provides fantastic value on newer timepieces.
