Popular among hipsters who like to update classic watches in addition to sport watch men who want to add some colour and possible relaxation to their sport watches, NATO straps seldom say “luxury.” That is until Chanel Watches Z.G 58096 decided to embrace the concept of a NATO strap for their high-end fashion purposes.Will Chanel do into the NATO strap what they did with ceramic? Rado is less or more credited with being the lookout firm that made the best seminal use of ceramic because a watch case material in the 1980s. It wasn’t, but before the early 2000s that ceramic exploded as a watch case material when Chanel’s J12 collection began to become popular. Chanel’s clever and highly fashionable treatment of both white and black ceramic catapulted it into the consumer limelight in a way that Rado was never able to do. Will Chanel have the same magical touch on NATO-style straps when it has been eagerly adopted by the planet’s finicky inhabitants of fashionistas?Maybe, but with prices beginning at about $20,000 it is not terribly likely that the introduction crop of Chanel J12 G10 watches will hit a stride with customers. At $3,000 – $5,000 the standard J12 was is considerably more available than those more luxurious versions that concentrate on diamonds and gold.The J12 assortment was segmented into a range of styles, sizes, and movement types over recent years. Models top out at about 42mm wide and go down to below 30mm wide, I think. For 2014, there’s a single mechanical version of the Chanel J12 G10, also it’s 42mm wide in an entirely 18k white gold case with a complete pavé dial and diamond decorated instance. Restricted to only five bits total, it makes sense that Chanel says it is “price on request.” Many J12 watch owners don’t even know about those exclusive high-luxury creations.
