Apart from the gripping plot, wardrobe design is an essential ingredient for Korean dramas. Netflix’s 16-episode dark comedy series Vincenzo, which stars Korean heartthrob Song Joong Ki, proves this point with the star’s rotation of tailored suits and cache of luxury timepieces from the likes of Zenith and Hublot.
If you’re trying to keep up with Song’s watch game, we give you a head start with a break down of the different styles we’ve spotted from the first five episodes.
Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph
Boasting a generous 46mm diameter, the Navitimer is a classic well-loved by many for its simplicity. With a large watch face, the timepiece also makes it easy for you to read the time of the day and also comes with a circular aviation slide rule. For those with a larger wrist, this silhouette is definitely one that you’ll appreciate.
Hublot Big Bang Unico King Gold 42mm
You may recognise this timepiece from the scene where Vincenzo was robbed of his watch. This flashy Hublot design comes with a hefty 45mm satin-finished and polished 18K King gold case. The watch is also a workhorse, boasting up to 72 hours of power reserve.
Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Open
Vincenzo paired his tuxedo with Zenith’s iconic chronograph that features a silver dial with tri-colour counters and skeletonised design that reveals the beating heart of the watch’s El Primero movement.
Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43mm
Adorning the wrist of Vincenzo in this episode is the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43mm. Besides being smaller in terms of its diameter, it is similar to the Breitling chronograph that was featured in the first episode.
TAG HEUER MONACO
Made popular by another stylish gent, Steve McQueen, this handsome Tag Heuer Monaco timepiece is a true icon for being the first chronograph to sport a squarish case.
