A Bathing Ape has collaborated with other watch brands, like Swatch and Seiko, to release stylish limited edition timepieces. But BAPE has always enjoyed success its own line of popular BAPEX Type 1 watches, too, and that may have been the impetus for the trendy Japanese fashion house to roll out some new timepieces this year. The latest entry in the series is a trio of stainless steel, self-winding watches that are water-resistant up to 328 ft.
Enthusiasts can decide which watches bests suit their styles, with faces available in the colors of lavender, black, and sea green. Furthermore, the matching bezel can spin 360° in either direction around the face, which is well protected. Lastly, BAPE is proud to say the watch’s automatic movement ensures you will “always have time on your side” with its newest article of wristwear.
