Last week we highlighted a handful of watches that recommend themselves for everyday wear – less flash, more versatility, and exciting enough to monopolize your link wrist time. No link major surprise: link They were all stainless steel.

Of course, the main design cue of this one, or any X-33, is the ana-digi (that's analog and digital) display that allows for myriad functionality that we earth-bound explorers (or couch-sitters) will probably never use. But that's where this watch, the Marstimer, separates itself from the Skywalker. The force may not be link as strong with this one, but it'll work link on the red planet – link Mars, not Arrakis.

The 2004 Vagabondage was created in a run of link 69 watches featuring a combination of a platinum case and a rose gold manual-wind movement, the caliber 1504, all the while not including any branding on the dial (just like the examples that went to auction at Antiquorum). link It displayed the time via digital jumping hours and a wandering minutes link aperture.

Of course rarity is only one part of the equation a watch needs to be rare and special to be collectible otherwise it's doomed to mere obscurity. link While the Vacheron might've come a link few years after the AP in 1983 it's still special. Inside and out it's similar to the AP It uses the same link JLC 920 as its base caliber with finishing just as ornate. It's hard to comment much on the differences in the skeletonization - the effect really is very similar.
