Winter Fashion Trends
There are some elements of winter fashion that are timeless. Why? Because they are utilitarian. Nobody is trying to make crop tops or mini dresses happen all winter long – instead, we can always expect to see the return of closet staples like trench coats, boots of various heights, and warmer, knit fabrics that help keep out the chill of winter.
But within these categories is where the real fun happens and we get the chance to start taking some fashion risks and experimenting with new trends to make our ensembles stand out from the rest. Here are our favorite trends for the upcoming season… plus the ideal luxury watches to perfectly execute each

Since 1932, OMEGA has been the official record timekeeper for the Olympic Games – they are the first and only company to ever hold this position. OMEGA watches have been strapped to the wrists of celebrities such as Daniel Craig, Eddie Redmayne, David Beckham, and Zoë Kravitz. Not only does the suave spy James Bond himself wear OMEGA, but this phenomenal brand has even been to space!
It takes an impressive 500 hours to produce a single timepiece. The OMEGA Chrono Chime Speedmaster is the most complicated watch produced by the brand. It shows a minute repeater that chimes a chronograph’s elapsed time and costs $500,544.
We love OMEGA because it's the deepest dive watch and it’s the perfect entry choice into the luxury watch world. Not only that, but it has a rich history that began 175 years ago. OMEGA is pretty much a celebrity on its own.
Are you still unsure whether this is a good time to purchase an OMEGA watch? Let’s dive a little deeper into why we think you should...
Rolex revealed the new GMT-Master II ‘Batman’ while we were at Baselworld 2019. Today it’s time to give our thoughts about this stunning timepiece which is now in stock at Avi & Co.
This watch has the same major updates as the GMT-Master II ‘Pepsi’, which was unveiled at Baselworld in 2018. As you can see, the most noticeable change to this model is the bracelet. It now comes in a Jubilee bracelet instead of the Oyster Link design, adding a bit more elegance.
The second upgrade is the new Caliber 3285 movement which has a power reserve of up to 70 hours. The prior Batman has a Caliber 3186 which only lasts up to 50 hours. These innovations provide more precision, power reserve, shock resistance, and reliability.
The final change on this model is on the 6:00 part of the dial; there is now a Rolex crown logo between Swiss and Made. This will tell if the new edition is genuine or not.

Whether you prefer an avant-garde look or a modern take on a timeless classic, there are luxe watches to pair with every style.
In honor of Archtober, let’s explore some of New York City’s most famous buildings… and the watches that match their aesthetics.
