- Here are 11 modern watches that are going to be CLASSICS in the future from Rolex, Hermes, Cartier, Omega, Tudor and so many more brands. Watch collectors love speculating on which watches will be the next Rolex Daytona and Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711. But the truth is, we really don't know which watches will be the next big thing. We can make educated guesses - which is what this video is!

The Explorer ll is my favorite Rolex.
Amen
The photo of the Pasha of Morocco used definitely indicates his sporty nature. Yes.

I bought my North Flag 3 years ago after watching a Watchfinder video. It was sitting unloved at the AD. Love your videos.
Ahhh I love this! The North Flag found the perfect home! ✨
Z blue milgaus ❤❤
SUCH A GOOD SHOUT! How did I not think of this?!
Totally
I agree with you about Hermes. I think the HO8 on the Orange strap will be in my collection someday. I think the Grand Seiko Sea of Clouds in 37mm and the red Katana will be a collector’s item.
You know! We are in London right now, walked by the Hermes shop, they were just closing up (Sunday hours) and saw H08 on orange in the window and it stopped my husband in his tracks and he said “I gotta try that on tomorrow!!!”
The notion that MoonSwatch equates to Swatch Greed, and by extension indirectly suggests other watch groups are saints with a clear conscience, is laughable. 😂
LOL! Fair one! My point was more of the crap that came afterwards like the moonshine gold ones! I think the originals were brilliant! But… when we got down to a gold plated chrono hand with little flowers on it. I think it got a bit much. 😅 but yes, of course all watch groups exist to make money.
😊koo😅
Unfortunately for Zenith, I think the weird “10 second” chronograph hand will prevent these current chronos from ever reaching “classic” status. Cool when it came out but it’s not aging well
Fully agree. If the Chronomaster Sport had a regular 60 second tracker, I'd own one by now. Hopefully they change that at some point and I think they'd get a lot more people who don't want to wait for a Daytona.
That is the one thing I love about them! A proper 1/10th of a second function. Regular chronos make no sense as a measurement device. The ZCS is a proper stopwatch, we live in a decimal world, not a weird 4hz.
The G-Shock GA 2300 is a future classic, don't kill me😂
The Oyster Perpetual with funky colours are already selling at crazy prices on the second hand market. I think the Millgauss is the future Rolex classic. Weird in a non-Rolex way and discontinued since last year.
Agreed... I think it's the Rolex outliers that are of more interest. Much of the rest of Rolex are a bit samey and also nowadays too bling & souless, at least for my tastes. OP colour dials are fun, classy yet understated... the Milgaus a nice watch too. 1970s Rolex Explorer is a not bling, it's unusual and wears well... subsequent iterations I think a bit of a disappointment. Ditto 1016 Explorer.
That 41mm turquoise is selling for just shy of £20k now.
I think the Omega Seamaster NTTD has everything to be a future classic.
Agree about the P01 but I wonder if Swatches will become, like stretch bracelets & nylon underpants, a puzzling abberation....
The Zenith. I want!
Great to mention the M1!
🤣 Cars have been on the mind lately!
Future classic: The Grand Seiko #SGBW231 Places well above its price point and (imho) is as classic as they come.
People on watch related forums have been saying the same thing about those two Tudors being a “future classic or become desirable” for years. I just can’t see it.
First of all Tudor makes a shit load of Black bays. So I doubt they will ever be rare or sort after and the fact it has faux patina and faux rivets will not become desirable traits
🤣 well! That’s the fun thing about it! It’s all speculation! Only time will tell! They used to give away Daytonas when customers bought other Rolexes. 😝 in the 90’s my husbands AD was begging to get rid of the Nautilus! Time is a funny old thing! But of course: those are huge huge exceptions and outliers.
The things people think will shoot up in price never do.
Yeah, well that's just like your opinion man -JLebowski
@@BrittPearceWatchesYou’re not entirely wrong. Vintage Tudors go for a decent amount of money, even less desirable models fetch between 2K-4K USD.
In regards to North Flag: +1
the m1 reference was on spot
I agree with the Explorer II. I also think that the Tudor Royal and the Tudor Pelagos line up might become future collectibles since they have been overshadowed by the black bay line up.
Almost 200 thousand subs. Crazy
Last year I bought an Aluminium and I absolutely love it!
Such a great choice! I love it!
Love the video Britt. Great pics 🙌🏻
As an owner of the Tudor Northflag I only can agree
I have owned some of these references. There are some exquisite limited edition Pashas such as a platinum bezeled, steel dialed chronograph with the Frederic Piguet 1185 movement but take the cover off the minuscule crown and try to set the time or wind it without breaking a nail. The Ploprof is an august watch and surprisingly balanced on the wrist but one no longer wears it much after the honeymoon period. The cylindrical bezel locking mechanism is by design ridiculously difficult to operate. I have been thinking about rebuying the Ploprof but then I remember why I sold it. My favorite eccentric Omega is the Seamaster Bullhead Chronograph. It is much more wearable than the Ploprof and is both scarce and mine has a beautifully finished silver dial. I think that the aluminum and rubber Bulgaris are overall pretty cheesy when compared to a gold bezeled Bulgari Bulgari reference. Since scarcity and eccentricity is a common denominator of many of your selections, the Genta designed Octo Velocissimo chronograph(with an El Primero movement) in precious metal on a massively wide black rubber strap would be my choice as to something that will stand out as the decades pass. Finally, the Tudor P01 failed because it should have been introduced on a single pass military fabric strap like the FDX Pelagos references. The OEM strap with the two cumbersome end links used as the points of attachment to the watch head made the P01 appear much uglier than it really was.
I bought Explorer 2’s for everyone on my sales team last year for xmass. They all wear them everyday and they love them.
I’m thinking of getting one for myself now
the black or polar?
Hey want to hire me to make your youtubechannel alive once again? I live in finland so easy to work with
@@jh-il5sb Black
OH I LOVE THIS! This is sooo so lovely! In an unrelated note: you hiring???? 😝🤣
@@BrittPearceWatches 😂😂😂
I'm hoping they return to the colour OPs, if not, agree they have a unique look and may age very well. I want one now.
It’s a rare one, but the Tudor Black Bay 58 comes to mind. Especially the gilted beauty, go get them before the word gets out!
The Ploprof ist already a classic/legendary watch as of now.
Agreed about those Tokyo 2020 Speedmasters for sure! Some of them are so great compared with even the new white dial.
This is a great list. The way I see it you’re highlighting modern designs that are kinda overlooked today. Slightly different question: Which contemporary designs do you think define the period from 2015 until today?
Ooh watching this with my north flag on my wrist feels great
I love the Zenith Chronograph, but the deal killer for me is the lack of a 12-hour timer register. I understand that you terrific video is about future collectibility, but I use every chronograph feature on my Speedmaster Professional.
I also have a Bulova Lunar Pilot and love it. But it doesn't have a 12-hour timer, due to its 262 khz movement.
Cool video Britt 😊
I am newer to the watch world, and had not heard of the Tudor North Flag. I agree that it is a possible future desirable collectible!
Great video! Bulgari aluminum, like most of their designs, is ruined by their obsession with their own name. Do we have to write BULGARI not once but twice on the bezel? - this is like wearing a Gucci belt with a huge G for a buckle - brands and logos are not a substitute for design (looking at you Louis Vuitton). Sadly the design is great but ruined by a “look at me” motif.
Love zenith - I own one pre-star logo. But again with the new ones, my problem lies in the logo - being from Texas- I can’t unsee the Dallas Cowboy star on the watch😅
Agreed. Everytime I see one of these, I see Michael Kors in my mind.
Agree with everything you said. The bezel on the Bulgari is terrible, and the current zenith logo to me makes it look like a micro brand.
Omega ck859 would be on my list
You missed the Cartier Diver, 4 year run and Cartier will never do it again.
The Hermes 08 would be on my list too, and it's still under £5k for the entry model (and it's titanium, from a company that sells a £320 baseball cap). The style should carry it through even though a square watch at 42mm will be limited in appeal the way 35mm variants of classic lines still are as we leave the large-watch era. But its wearability is nothing compared to the P01! No matter how cool it is, it's essentially limited to the sort of person who wears a bund strap. But I still want one.
FYI, LVMH was never the "owner" of Hermes. The Dumas family owns the vast majority of the company's stock. LVMH was only ever a minority shareholder, and never controlled any aspect of the company.
Great light 💡 effects 😊
Two distinct categories here. Limited editions that will be rare vintage watches in future. Olympic or Moonswatch are perfect examples. Second, main production watches that aren’t well liked are well known about. You’ve nailed the latter with Hermes. What about Mont Blanc too, eg the 1858 Geosphere models? I don’t like them which is almost a guarantee that they’ll be worth a fortune in future!
I don't think the Pasha has what it takes to be considered a classic in the future. But I hope I'm wrong cause it would be funny as hell xD
Bulgari aluminum has a B77 movement and basicly it's the ETA 2892-A2. Maybe for this reason it is not a very atractive item for collectors.
Very nice Hermès h08, very stealth, not many people know about this.
Was so set on a NTTD Omega for my small wrist until I keep rewatching your videos and end up with a Santos
The Tudor looks like cross between an Omega and a Grand Seiko Spring Drive!
Going to make a interesting comparison but I think two brands share the pain of value proposition/price more than anyone; Oris and Bell & Ross. Both brands have super unique brand ethos and design. The former is cherished by the watch community, the latter, I don't think does (despite their humble origins in partnership with a community love, Sinn). But both are priced far higher than most are willing to pay for the movement inside, whether it be truly in-house (like the Oris) or black box in-house (like the B&R)
The Tudor Triple B is the one model I feel will be extremely collectible. It is Tudors largest watch at 43mm and the first bronze watch Tudor made
I would check out the micro brand called Lorier. Their chronograph is called the Gemini. Also look at the Neptune and the Hydra. Great workmanship and very fair pricing. I would be very interested in knowing what you think.
The Black Flag and novelty watches (Omega and OPs) will be curiosities, but not collectibles. Watches tend to become iconic by association, and we don’t have that now. There’s no equivalent to Paul Newman wearing a Daytona or Schwarzenegger’s Seiko in Predator.
WHAAAAT?! I soooo disagree! But that’s the fun in all of this! 🙈✨
Speedmaster Moon Pro
I have the zenith chronomaster sport. It's incredible.
Can wait to see that Elegante!
Would I ever bet on future classics? No. Would I enjoy seeing the watch bros get it wrong? Yes.
I agree with you about the Bvlgari Aluminum and the Hermes H08 (my grail watch). How about the Carl F Boucherer Scuba Tec?
The fact you came right off the bat with the bmw M1 just blew me away 😮 Would you ever do a list of your top 10 cars ?……
But anyway yeaah, watches and stuff
We could add the Tudor BBPro in the list too. A great thick watch who made everyone sad (on paper..). Love mine :)
Hi Britt, as an owner of the Rolex 226570 in Black, I hope you're right! It's a classic look and I think one of the last true sports / tooly type watches from Rolex. I know Polar commands higher resale, but when I tried them on the 42 mm in white is a bit loud, whereas the black lets this watch blend in to any look, dress or casual. It's not a watch you see everyday, and I like that 🙂
Great picks, the only one I really don’t like it’s the Bvlgari Aluminum, I tried one once and nothing about that watch speaks to me
Do like the Zenith!
I really hope NOMOS a GO will be future bestsellers
Drive de Cartier will definitively be a future collectible. Made for a short period of time, very attractive case shape and a perfect size.
A hurdle Hermes has in watches is that they don't really make anything men into style and fashion want so they don't have a customer base they can siphon into men's watches the way brands like Gucci or Armani could. I do love their dial layouts though and they look great in person
With the Cartier Pasha, a hurdle is that the crown is a real pain to operate. I love the look but I've passed on buying one because of that despite being a bit of a Cartier fanyboy
What about the Chopard Alpine Eagle?
I'm glad you mentioned Grand Seiko as their Spring Drive technology is something to behold on one's wrist. I own a limited edition (287/500) US model only SBGA493 "Katana", but I think any Spring Drive will potentially become a collectible. I was also glad to see Rolex did not bring out a new GMT Master II with the Coke bezel as that increases the chance that mine will be a collectible one day. The rule of thumb seems to be that the less popular a model is when current, the more collectible in the future, mainly because of its scarcity.
I agree about the Tudor P01. But I think it may only be full-sets in pristine unworn condition which will be ultra-rare in 30+ years time - and thus most valuable to future collectors.
In the case of Rolex, a lot of the references that are 'obvious classics' will possibly be somewhat devalued by the very fact that large numbers of them will have survived as unworn-condition full-sets. I think quite a lot of people are keeping these watches in bank vaults as quasi investments rather than wearing them. But if there are 100s or even 1000s of 'em floating around in future, then it could become like a kind of reverse self-fulfilling prophesy. A full-set unworn example of the green-black GMT-MasterII, for example, might not be anything like so rare as some folks imagine. But a Tudor P01...? Probably _almost nobody_ will have kept one of those as a safe-queen!
That Hermes H08 is a fantastic looking watch! I don't know if it will ever be a "collectors classic", and frankly who cares, but it will definitely age well. If I could afford it, I would buy for sure.
Dude I thought the proplof was already a classic. It gets massive kudos from collectors so I’m guessing you meant mainstream popularity..
Also interesting you say Ballon Bleu and Pathere- both watches are very popular in some Asian countries (I’ve mainly seen people be enthusiastic about them in Indian, China, HK, SG- normal people not nerds like us)
Also Hermes watches are super cool. They have some killer looking movements. I remember they even had one with a micro rotor with the H logo finishing. Extremely cool.
Longines Zulu in the green i can see being there flagship in a few years
Hi there.
Britt, may I ask why do you think the explorer ii are not liked now, and why the black dial in stead of the white dial, will be the collectable?
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Peace
Britt!! I do love a video that you have to pause every once and awhile, just to ponder what was said, and this one does that so many times. About half way through each brand I have to pause and think about what I would pick. Several times I disagreed with your picks when they were initially given, but by the end of the segment I agreed with you more often than not. I need more coffee this morning to be using this much brain power. Love everything about this one. Long Love the Cult(s), and 4:30 date windows.
The case on the Bvlgari tends to get chipped
Agree on the P01! I like to think about what vintage dealers like Analog Shift, etc. are selling right now. Chronosports, P01's etc. are starting to make their way to those sites, so I imagine there will be interest in the future in today's overlooked weirdos. I expect any number of limited GS's to be classics, like the US only 4 seasons, etc.
Tiffany Union Square, beautiful.
Chopard Luc 1860 in a salmon dial and lucent steel. They finally got rid of the date window. Clean, elegant, and will become a classic.
Agreed! Beautiful watch.
I would say that the 16570 polar dial is already a classic.
lol @ the Zenith Zaytona.
It’s all a gamble we are hoping to win 😂
I'm pretty sure the Bulgari Aluminium does NOT have an in-house movement.
You’re right.
gonna have to disagree about the bvlgari aluminium britt! the awkward proportions and garish over branding is too much of a turn off for too many people (me included). I think the rest of the vid is pretty spot on though, especially the mint condition moonswatches!
The plastic on the aluminum is very bad if you look at the pictures of ones used for sale.
Idk if they would last
The future classics will be watches by San Martin, Pagani Design and other AliExpress brands! Great watches (original or not) for normal/fair prices.
😂😂😂 ok.
116600 - SD4k - Collectable
" About " has never sounded so sexy ! 😊
Moonswatch
Love from India ❤
Omega ❤
I'm really interested in purchasing an Omega Seamaster 300 coaxial black. Will it hold it's value over time?
I shouldn’t think so.
@@watchpapi I shall purchase it.
@@josealcala582 cool looking watch 👌🏽😎
what about the pelagos Lhd ?
The Zenith El Primero is truly more a watchmaking goat than the Daytona. Before in house Rolex used the el primero movement. It’s just Rolex is Rolex and it usually gets more spotlight.
It may or may not be future classic but I've picked up north flag recently and it's the best Tudor I've had. And I had quite a few.
Nothing about the Pasha screams “I do athletics!”
Rolex Milgauss? Its green crystal looks amazing.
For "investment"
Nah, it’s pure gamble
More click bait, I’ll never watch Britt again! Unnecessary BMW M1 reference, I’m subscribing for life!
Yaaaaay!!! 🎉
Love my rising sun speedy
Someday, my TAG Heuer 2000 from ‘04 is sure to skyrocket in value. Someday.
Maybe explore 2 the rest can’t see it
The Tudor NF wears very large on the bracelet. Great looking watch, but it wears really bad on my 7 in wrist.
I could see the cartier roadster being a sought after watch down the road. Pun intended
Omega consolation
Eh, Omega CK859?
Buy what you like 😊
Amen!
