The new Chanel J12 Marine watches that were announced earlier this
year are hitting the market. While not a big “fashion brand” fan when
it comes to watches, I think these new diver watches deserve some
respect (or do they not?). Chanel also launched a cool new interactive
website to highlight the J12 Marine. The website simulates an
“underwater experience” — yea, it probably cost a gazillion bucks to
produce this website, but it’s kinda neat — check it out!
Here’s a video, then the pics, etc below:
The watches come in a variety of sizes (42mm and 38mm) and colors
(blue, black and white). All have ceramic bezels, unidirectional
rotating bezels and are water resistant to 300 meters. The strap is
rubber with a “Chanel” engraved buckle. The J12 Marine is priced in the
$5,000 range if I’m not mistaken. This is a lot, particularly given
the movement — while probably a reliable Swiss-made one — is nothing
special. You are paying for the “Chanel” name. Kinda like buying a
diamond from Tiffany & Co., know what I’m saying?
