At Soobaak Vintage, we're currently deep into vintage timepieces—the type of watches that evoke a certain vibe: the kind of piece an older gentleman with a mysterious past (and a luxurious present) might wear. We’re working on curating the perfect collection of those types, and we’re excited to see just how many treasures Soobaak can gather.
We’re well aware that the vintage watch industry is a highly specialized field, and we’re careful to bring in only those pieces that feel genuinely “Soobaak.” Here are a few that fit our vibe:
Vintage Cartier Tank
Rolex Explorer I
Seiko divers from the late ’70s and early ’80s
Early 2000s Hermès watches
And lately, solid 18k gold or two-tone watches
Recently, another piece caught our attention: the 1980s Audemars Piguet Ellipse 4249. Originally sold in Japan on June 15, 1984, this watch has spent 40 years developing that perfect patina—and now, it’s here with us at Soobaak.
If you’ve always thought of rectangular watches as either a Tank or a Reverso, think again! The AP Ellipse 4249 is a solid contender. Price-wise, it falls right between those two icons, making it a piece that anyone with an appreciation for a ‘reformed bad grandpa’ aesthetic can enjoy.
