Pitti Uomo: Watches That Stole the Show

2025-02-04 // SuperPodium
Rolex Explorer dominates Pitti Uomo, with vintage and modern styles making waves.

The winter edition of Pitti Uomo, renowned for its refined menswear and timeless style, once again delivered a masterclass in sophistication. This year, however, it wasn’t just the tailored suits and polished shoes that turned heads—watches took center stage. Among the sea of stylish attendees, one timepiece stood out: the Rolex Explorer. Whether vintage, modern, or the GMT-enhanced Explorer II, this classic watch became the undisputed star of the event.

Beyond the Explorer: A Showcase of Horology

While the Explorer dominated, other notable watches made their presence felt. Rectangular-faced watches, a trend that gained momentum last summer, continued to captivate. Connoisseurs showcased rare finds, including a Parmigiani and the ever-reliable Casio F-91W, proving that style isn’t always about price tags.

One attendee shared his personal connection to the Explorer:

Another attendee proudly wore his Chopard L.U.C Salmon Dial, a piece he’s cherished for a year.
