Our Top Seven Limited Edition Watches For 2023
Limited edition watches have always created excitement amongst watch enthusiasts, but this year, they’re bigger and better than ever. For 2023 there’s high demand for luxury watches that have something extra special about them. Knowing there’s only a limited number of a certain watch available and that it won’t be around forever of course makes it extra desirable. They’re a great investment piece too and a watch collector’s dream.
We saw how strong the limited edition watch trend was for 2023, and Bruce, our Head of Luxury Brands is all for it…
“We always love special editions and in particular limited editions as well. Customers love to have something that they know is a little bit different, often with a story behind it. The launch of a limited edition watch really does create a lot of excitement and lots of storytelling and uniqueness.” Bruce Andrews, Head of Luxury Brands.
What is a limited edition watch?
A limited edition watch means that a brand has decided to make a limited quantity of a certain watch. This obviously makes it more desirable, as you know that once they’re gone, they’re gone, and they won’t be made again. It means only you and a certain amount of people will be lucky enough to get your hands on that particular watch.
With brands like TAG Heuer, Oris and Breitling releasing must-have limited edition watches for 2023, let’s take a look at some of our favourites (and soon to be your favourites too no doubt!)…
1. Breitling Limited Edition Chronomat B01 42 Six Nations England Chronograph Men’s Watch
