When Supreme drops their lookbook for the upcoming season, everyone drops what they’re doing and starts planning on what they’re going to, attempt, to buy. This Fall/Winter collection is no different, with the box logo brand delivering, what some are calling, their best lookbook to date. Between the tees and the coats, everything is getting love. But what has people going even crazier are the accessories. One in particular that has some of us on the watch team buzzing is their collaboration with Timex. Watch collaborations with streetwear giants are nothing out of the ordinary, but when Supreme does it, it calls for major attention. So when a goliath of a streetwear brand crosses over into watches, it’s a great opportunity to introduce sneaker and streetwear lovers to their next level of fit. If you’re a fan of Supreme’s first tackle at a watch collaboration, we want to bring to the table some other watches we feel will catch your eye even more.
Collabs You'll Like
A$AP Ferg x G-Shock
We wanted to start this list off right with a watch that brings Japan to Harlem. The Traplord himself A$AP Ferg was tapped by Japanese watch manufacture, Casio, to put his own NYC touch on the G-Shock GA-110 model. If you’re unaware of G-Shock’s relationship with Hip-Hop, you must not remember any music video from 2008 to 2011, but to jog your memory we wrote a brief piece documenting such a time in fashion and music. Every big artist in hip-hop had one, so a collaboration with one of rap’s grandest personalities isn’t as random as it seems. The colors on this watch compliment just the type of person A$AP Ferg is: just like this transparent watch, he has nothing to hide, but from the subtle hits of color, you’re going to notice and do a double-take.
BAPE x G-Shock, Swatch & Seiko
This next feature comes from another streetwear big name, A Bathing Ape. BAPE has had a slew of watch collaborations for years, often partnering with Casio. But from this year alone, the APE HEAD has also left its stamp on projects with Swatch and fellow Japanese brand, Seiko. The G-Shock, Swatch, and Seiko all come fully dressed in BAPE’s signature BAPE Camo, making it an instant cop for many streetwear fans. If you’re really about that BAPE life and want to show your affiliation in any way, these watches make it easy.
Tag Heuer Carrera x Fragment Limited Edition
If you’re familiar with a certain Air Jordan 1 that’s going for over $2K on our site, then you know about Fragment. Many know Fragment’s head honcho Hiroshi Fujiwara for his collaborations within sneakers, streetwear, and art. But many outside of the watch community are unaware of this limited edition watch he designed with Swiss manufacturer Tag Heuer. Designed in an all black color with features of Fragment’s signature Lightning Bolt logo on the dial, this watch is the perfect coupling of elegance with the qualities of streetwear.
If You Thought Those Were Good….
Omega Speedmaster
If those collaborative watches caught your attention, then look no further to even heavier artillery. We start with the Omega Speedmaster. This watch, just from the look alone, has an extremely sporty look to it. That’s mainly impart to its chronometer features, a tool used to track the time of any track meet, any speedway, or anything that goes FAST. Paired with the fine craftsmanship that comes with every Omega product, this watch is a step up from any digital watch. Plus, you know, it’s been to the moon.
Rolex Datejust
Have you heard of Rolex? Of course you have, how could you not?! Rolex are watches that instantly scream wealth, power, and respect to anyone that hears its name. Some of the most prolific and stylish people can be seen donning a piece on their wrists, such as presidents, actors and actresses, designers, and even, yourself. Rolex are not as unattainable as many think, with the Rolex Datejust being a prime example. This one in particular is two-toned, featuring both pure steel and yellow gold. If you’re looking to really up your fit, and break a couple necks in the process, a Rolex is definitely your go to. Plus, it’s a Rolex, that should speak for itself.
Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1R
Now for this watch, you gotta sell all of your box logo tees and hoodies, and then you just MIGHT be able to cop this beauty from Patek Philippe. We know this watch will be out of most people’s price range, but it deserves an honorable mention. Patek Philippe is a watch worn by most of today’s trending celebrities, with the rap group, Migos, reportedly name dropping the brand over 28 times in a single song, according to Genius News. The Nautilus, specifically, is a model that is seen on many of their wrists. The one pictured above is made entirely out of rose gold and cost over $110K! AND THAT’S NOT EVEN FLOODED IN DIAMONDS! So save up your dollars, hold on to some of your older Supreme pieces a little longer, so you can cash out on this fine piece of wrist candy.
