Protecting your luxury watch collection just got easier with Bezel insurance

A new era of protection: Bezel brings premium insurance to luxury watch market

Bezel Insurance — Bezel

Today, Bezel, the marketplace for authenticated luxury watches, is launching Bezel Insurance – a new watch insurance program developed in collaboration with Chubb, a global leader in insurance.

Extending protection insurance for luxury watch connoisseurs

“We’ve always intended for Bezel to be more than a place for transactions. Being collectors ourselves, we wanted to build a platform that people could trust to not only buy watches but to support any and all of their watch ownership needs. Bezel Insurance is a big step towards that vision.”

– Quaid Walker, Co-Founder & CEO of Bezel

Bezel Insurance goes hand in hand with the platform’s approach to buying and selling within the luxury watch market, effectively combining trust and simplicity at one destination. Current homeowner or renter insurance policies only provide coverage to a certain extent for luxury timepieces, with conventional watch insurance offered through third parties. Bezel’s new insurance plan eliminates unnecessary steps and allows for direct insurance from a trusted platform. Clients who use the service will have the power to gain comprehensive protection in a seamless way.

How Bezel Insurance works – Inside the operation

For those less than tech-savvy, fret not, as the entire process from start to finish is simple and straightforward. Clients can effortlessly insure their watches—whether purchased on the Bezel platform or elsewhere—through a streamlined digital experience.

By simply adding their timepieces to their collection within the Bezel app, uploading photographs, and providing essential personal details, the initiation is complete. Policyholders then receive intricately tailored annual premiums that accurately reflect the total value of their collection. The entire life cycle of the policy, from viewing insured watches and policy documents to adding new acquisitions and filing claims, is managed through the Bezel app and website.

Available to collectors in all 50 states and territories, the program is universal in scope, offering worldwide protection to ensure peace of mind no matter where you may take your watches. Personalized quotes are readily accessible at Insurance.GetBezel.com or directly within the Bezel app.

Swatch’s new gold MoonSwatch is priced like it’s 1969

The Mission to the Moon 1969 packs 11 grams of real 18K gold — priced at the 1969 gold rate.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Guess what? It's another MoonSwatch — but this isn't just another colorway. The new drop from the Switzerland-based watchmaker, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969, is the first to use real gold across the dial, hands, crown, and pushers.

The watch marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5

The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.

Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches

These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars

Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.
