BAPE A Bathing Ape Type 1 Bapex Watch Gold Black

The BAPE A Bathing Ape Type 1 Bapex Watch Gold Black is a modern take on the classic Submariner design. It has a bold colorway, combining effective, easy functionality with vintage style.

This Bapex watch has a stainless steel shell and bracelet with a gold tone. The face and bezel are a contrasting black, with gold markers and numbers. The face markings are large, easy to read and luminous, and there's a classic date magnifier on the right. Mineral glass protects the face, providing durable scratch resistance. Inside is a 21-jewel automatic movement.

We really like this watch as an example of a classic chunky gold watch, and the popularity of the brand has turned it into something of a collector's item. Its enhanced readability is a big plus, especially when so many other watches have all kinds of fussy details. This one has a simple, clean, functional look. The BAPE A Bathing Ape Type 1 Bapex Watch Gold Black was released on September 16, 2022, and retailed at $400.
