THE LATEST COLOUR TREND: PINK

And we’re ecstatic about it. For whatever reason – hyper femininity, we’re looking at you – pink has been a neglected colour over the last century. But the tide has turned: pink is all over the runway, plastered on our football kits, and taking centre stage in our homes.

The world of horology has, likewise, kept up and pink has emerged as a key trend this year. At Watches and Wonders 2022, a notable number of brands – including Oris, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin – created pink novelties that left us rosy in our cheeks. Others have since followed suit.

So as the heatwave comes to an end and the grey nights draw it, inject a statement colour into your watch collection and brighten up your wardrobe. Or, simply, celebrate all shades of pink with us here on Calibre as we showcase our very favourite pink timepieces this 2022…

Oris ProPilot X Calibre 300

A star of Watches and Wonders 2022, the Oris ProPilot X features a delectable salmon dial, encased in a titanium-cased watch inspired by more than a century of aviation heritage, and powered by Oris’ five-day automatic.

The taut, angular lines of the aviation-inspired form are satin and sandblasted, giving the watch its raw, technical look, and complemented by the familiar ProPilot bezel. The oversized crown is also titanium, and flanked by protectors, whilst the multi-piece titanium case with satin and sandblasted finishes sits at a comfortable 39mm.

GUCCI G-Timeless MultiBee

The blush pink lacquered dial and sapphire glass with an anti-reflective coating is the perfect backdrop for the bees on this Gucci dial, a signature symbol of the House. This GUCCI G-Timeless MultiBee timepiece is powered by a quartz movement, sits inside a 50-meter water-resistant case topped with sapphire crystal glass, and measures at a compact 32mm case size.

GUCCI 25H

All Gucci watches are imagined with self-expression in mind, and the new GUCCI 25H with pink dial is a bold statement for any wearer. Contemporary meets retro in this collection: the watch comes presented with a thin multi-layer case and five-link steel bracelet, while the design is completed by pink glass and an interlocking G motif.

NOMOS Glashütte Club Campus

The NOMOS Glashütte Club Campus in deep pink debuted earlier this spring and is the perfect gift for important life milestones, dubbed by Nomos themselves as the ‘graduation watch’.

The Club Campus deep pink features a robust, highly polished steel case with a wide bezel and is water resistant up to 100 meters. The dial is contrasting and clear, whilst the Superluminova-coated numerals, hands and hour markers glow blue in the dark and underwater.

OMEGA Constellation 28mm

The dramatic and enduring design of the OMEGA Constellation is characterised by its famous half-moons, “claws” on the case and mono-rang bracelet. This 28mm model is set against a striking blush rose dial, and features indexes and applied elements in 18K white gold, whilst the OMEGA Calibre 4061 sits at the heart of the timepiece.

To give the bezel an extra pop of colour, OMEGA has highlighted the engraved Roman numerals in the same blush pastel shade.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300

Vibrant and bold; The TAG Heuer Aquaracer is an invitation to surpass oneself and is driven by the Calibre 5 automatic movement. Featuring a wave-motif pink-lacquered dial with diamond dot markers, the timepiece is as fashion-forward as it is a functional dive watch. The 60-minute scale helps measure the elapsed dive time, whilst the pressure-proof, tapered steel bracelet is secured by safety push buttons on the buckle.

Grand Seiko “Shunbun” Spring Dive

Combining a stunning textured backdrop to the light pink dial, this Grand Seiko “Shunbun” Spring Drive is a feast for the eyes. Taking strong inspiration from Japanese culture, the dial of this watch is inspired by the fleeting Japanese Spring pink cherry blossom season – when Sakura blossoms fall into the water, swirl and float – called ‘Hanaikada,’ or flower rafts.

This timepiece is powered by the brand’s iconic Spring Drive movement, one of the most significant developments in recent watchmaking which took 28 years to develop, and has a power reserve of up to 72-hours.
