It can be done with a highlight of a brand, or a shared case material, and sometimes like last week with a comparison between two different watchmakers.]( [This week we are putting a spotlight on watches that are not as well known. I am sure most of you know what a Rolex Submariner is, but do you know the Cellini Prince with its exhibition case? The most serious collectors among you probably have at least a passing familiarity with most of these watches. The newer enthusiasts will probably see something new. No matter where you are on your collecting journey, all of these watches represent an opportunity to own something out of the ordinary.]( [BY MARK HACKMAN]( [READ THE SHOP JOURNAL]( FEATURED ON THIS WEEK'S PRE-OWNED PICKS [Image of Vacheron Constantin Quai de l Île 4500S/000A-B196]( [Vacheron Constantin Quai de l'Île 4500S/000A-B196]( The Quai de l'Île is an interesting piece of recent Vacheron Constantin History. The original line was launched in 2008 and saw some serious revisions in 2016, to then only disappear a few years later. Starting in precious metals and then moving to stainless steel with a cushion-like case shape that gave some serious wrist presence. This model is part of the 2016 redesign that at the time was the entry point of Vacheron Constantin. [Breitling Top Time Deus A23311]( This will be the watch on this list that most people would have seen before, or at least some version of it. In 2020 Breitling relaunched the Top Time line of watches with the Zorro, a reissue of a 1970s watch that had a black bow-tie across two sub-dials. It was a limited edition that quickly sold out and breathed new life into the Top Time name. Since then, Breitling has introduced a half-dozen models that are all limited runs, with the latest being the second time they teamed up with the lifestyle brand Deus. [Image of Breitling Top Time Deus A23311]( [Image of Rolex Cellini Prince 5441/9]( [Rolex Cellini Prince 5441/9]( The Cellini line is unfortunately overlooked compared to the rest of Rolex. The advantage is that Rolex gets to play with some new ideas and styles within the Cellini catalog that would not be possible with the more popular sports watches. Introduced in 2005 the Cellini Prince starts with some familiar dress watch details like white gold case, 9mm thin, and a time only dial. The dial is split between the hour and minute larger dial up top and the sub-second dial below, with both barely intersecting two-thirds down the watch face. [OMEGA Speedmaster Date Japan 3511.50.00]( The Speedmaster Reduced was a smaller automatic winding version of the famous Moonwatch that has proven to be a very popular model even after being discontinued over a decade ago. Part of the popularity is the size of 39mm while also coming in a large variety of different looks. The core was the 3510.50.00 that looked like a smaller version of the Speedmaster Professional, but then you have ones like this 3511.50.00. The sub-dials on this watch are given a vertical orientation to incorporate the date at 3. [Image of OMEGA Speedmaster Date Japan 3511.50.00]( [Image of Glashutte Original Senator Excellence 1-36-01-03-02-01]( [Glashutte Original Senator Excellence 1-36-01-03-02-01]( Glashutte is known for the Pano line of watches, the off-center beauties that rival the best of what Germany has to offer. The Senator watches are on the classic side, with dress watches and complications being the order of the day. This Senator Excellence is on the surface a simple dress watch, three hands, no date, and only 10mm tall. So, what makes this a watch worth highlighting? First, we should appreciate how good a 40mm black dial dress watch looks with a suit, or really anything to be honest. Second, Glashutte Original makes nearly everything in-house.
