If a standard Rolex GMT-Master II seems just too common for you, this truly unique version might tickle your fancy (and drain your wallet, at the same time). It’s the result of a collaboration between Artisans de Genève and famous con-artist turned FBI consultant and crime expert Frank Abagnale, Jr., who was portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can. The customized watch is actually based on the restored and customized Rolex owned by Abignale, himself. The inspired timepiece gets a hand-painted two-tone creme dial, blue and red hands, bakelite bezel with a special ’60s font, as well as a custom rotor, bridges, and a power reserve of 70 hours. The limited edition Rolex is available for pre-order now.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
