Ep #31: Essential Summer Holiday Watches
Listen to full episode :
Summer is here and it's holiday season! But which watch do you take with you on your vacation? Is one enough?
Inspired by Parm’s recent trip to Singapore and Malaysia, where he had three different holiday experiences on one trip, the boys decide which watches would fit in for each stage.
Listen in as they discuss which watches to take on a holiday for (1) travelling and sights, (2) a city break, and (3) the ultimate summer holiday, the beach vacation.
To make this a challenge worthy of the CP7 boys, the usual suspects like Patek Philippe, Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Cartier, or IWC would NOT be counted. This challenge allows them to highlight brands or models that aren’t as high profile but carry some serious watch credentials, particularly for a summer holiday. So forget your Submariner, Speedmaster, Black Bay, or Santos, and let’s take a refreshing look at something different for the most fun time of the year.
We also find out what the boys have been up to, which includes an exciting merchandise collaboration with Totte from REM Straps, and a catch-up with listeners of the show, and top guys, The Watch Brothers Neil and Mark.
So Buckle up and enjoy the ride in this special summer show which should heat up your summer holiday watch choices for the season ahead!!!

First, let’s take a closer look at the wristwatch checks. Andy is wearing the beautiful Ace Jewellers X Christiaan van der Klaauw Stariadne, followed by Parm and his classic Breitling Colt. Moving on to the first category of essential summer holiday watches: the ultimate travel watch for those time zone hoppers. Andy selected the Lorier Hyperion Series II, followed by Parm’s selection of the Unimatic x Exquisite Timepieces GMT Limited Edition U1S-T-GMT-ET.
Now, on to the stealthy, low-key city holiday watch. Andy thinks he hit a home run with the RZE Valour 38 - Whistler White, while Parm was a bit more daring with his budget and chose the Hermès H08. Finally, but certainly an important category, is the perfect beach watch. Andy fell in love with the Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20 Limited Edition, and equally so did Parm with the Edward Christopher Manta.
The final image is of Parm’s beloved Omega Seamaster Pro 300m (The Great White), his personal favourite holiday watch.
Here is the exciting new REM Strap X Chrono Passion 7 Tiger strap, coming to our store very soon!
