Over the past couple of weeks, we looked at a whole bunch of things for our weekly Buying Guide<\/a>, including several types of materials<\/a> that would be ideal for summer watches<\/a>. Now that the peak of the sunshine season is pretty much behind us, it doesn\u2019t hurt to once again turn to materials as the topic of choice. Although we aimed at watches that would be perfect in hot conditions, there\u2019s no saying they\u2019re any less good in colder times of the year, right? With that said, we turn to carbon<\/a>, with five of the sportiest, sleekest and downright coolest watches that use carbon in one way or another, available on the market now!<\/p>\n

Tudor black bay chronograph carbon 25<\/p>\n

Solidifying its ties to Formula 1 and the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team, Tudor released the Black Bay Chronograph Carbon 25<\/a> earlier this year. Relying on its stout Black Bay Chronograph<\/a>, it\u2019s only natural to use carbon fibre in such a heavily motorsport-inspired watch. The case is entirely crafted from the lightweight material, and it also finds its way to the chronograph subdials. The dial itself is stark white with blue details, taking on the team\u2019s colours for this season. A cool touch is the use of carbon endlinks for the hybrid-leather strap, closing the gap between strap and case. Only 2,025 will be made, for a price of EUR 7.400.<\/p>\n

ulysse nardin diver (air)<\/p>\n

One of the biggest benefits of carbon fibre as a material is its combination of rigidity and low weight, which is useful in watches to create something ultra-robust and lightweight. When paired with titanium and Nylo-Foil and fitted with an ultralight skeletonised movement, you end up with the featherweight Ulysse Nardin Diver (Air)<\/a>. At only 52 grams with the strap included, it\u2019s said to be the world\u2019s lightest diver on the market. Plus, with UN\u2019s<\/a> striking Diver<\/a> looks, it seems perfectly suited for both the boardwalk and the ocean itself. It\u2019s not limited by number, comes on an orange or white elastic fabric strap with a scratch closing, and costs EUR 38,400.<\/p>\n

longines ultra-chron carbon<\/p>\n

At the start of the year, Longines surprised us all with a carbon fibre rendition of the ultra-cool Ultra-Chron<\/a>. Although it did in with the rotating bezel of the 1960s original and the 2022 revival model<\/a>, it retained its retro good looks yet fitted into a very modern package. The muted look works well with the shape of the case, as it pairs a carbon fibre base with a fixed titanium bezel and matte black dial. Hiding under a solid titanium caseback is Longines\u2019 hi-beat calibre L836.6, which beats at a rate of 36,000vph. Fitted to a black technical fabric strap with a titanium pin buckle, it\u2019s part of the permanent collection and retails for EUR 5,540 incl. VAT.<\/p>\n

norqain wild one skeleton 39mm<\/p>\n

Next on the list is a watch that doesn\u2019t find its roots in history, racing or the ocean; the Norqain Wild One Skeleton 39mm<\/a>. This high-performance ultra-light watch uses a relatively compact Norteq carbon composite<\/a> outer case over a titanium movement barrel, with coloured rubber shock absorbers on the outside. Three come in black, with either Mint Green, Sky Blue or Hyper Pink details, and one comes in a purple hue for the case, with Purple Ice Blue details. The movement can be seen from both sides, and the mesh rubber strap matches in terms of colour. The series retails for EUR 5,390, or EUR 5,490 for the 400-piece Mint Green limited edition.<\/p>\n

Bianchet B1.618 Ultrafino carbon<\/p>\n

Last on the list is Bianchet\u2019s<\/a> B1.618 Ultrafino Carbon. Pretty much as it says on the tin, the B1.618 Ultrafin Carbon<\/a> is a full carbon fibre watch, with an impressively light and ultra-comfortable construction. The tonneau-shaped case, with signature coloured gasket, is fitted to a carbon fibre integrated bracelet and houses an automatic skeleton one-minute flying tourbillon movement that will keep running for 60 hours when fully wound. A pair of guards protect the crown, all in carbon fibre as well, and the watch is shock-resistant to 5,000G. With the carbon bracelet it weighs just 62 grams, and on rubber, it drops to 52 grams! The price is CHF 65.500 excl. VAT.<\/p>\n
