Every watch collector has their own taste. But there are some watches everyone agrees are testaments to style, horological feats and technical innovation. These iconic classics are watches that any watch enthusiast would love to have in their collection.
The pre-owned watch market used to be a very confusing place. But the emergence and growth of online marketplace StockX has shored up that skepticism. Watch buyers know exactly what they’re getting when they purchase on StockX, and that’s a big help during the holidays. Master watchmakers and technicians assess every facet of every timepiece to determine the condition and verify the watch’s authenticity — which, in turn, assures buyers they’re getting exactly what they’re paying for.
If you, or the watch enthusiast you know, is looking to add an iconic timepiece for the holidays, then StockX should be your first destination. We’ve assembled a list of five legendary timepieces available on StockX that are good jumping-off points for any watch collection.
Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch
The Omega Speedmaster Professional was the first watch on the moon — it doesn’t get much more acclaimed for a watch than that. Even before the infamous moonwalk in 1969, the Speedmaster was already heavily utilized by American astronauts. This 42mm version is a modern evolution of the early chronographs that Omega provided to those space pioneers. A hesalite crystal and steel case back help this model retain a retro quality that is an admirable tribute to the engineering prowess of the Omega Speedmaster.
