Experience: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST. 'Water Resistant' Means You Can Swim and Shower with it.

Countless times we have seen watch collectors post questions across the different watch forums regarding the water resistance of their watches and whether they can shower or swim with them. Some of the most common posts relate to questions like: Can I shower or swim with my Royal Oak? Can I shower with my Rolex Submariner?

'Water Resistance' and 'Waterproof' are two terms that are commonly interchangeably used by the different watch manufactures depending on the type of testing that the watch has undergone or at their discretion. In the context of the textile industry, these two terms mean two completely different things, where 'water resistant' refers to 'water repellant' more so than waterproofing.

Experience: Hermès Courchevel Constance H Belt. A Must Have in Any Watchlifestyler's Wardrobe.

The Hermès Courchevel Constance H belt is a must have for watchlifestylers. This beautiful reversible belt in black and tan featuring the iconic signature 'H' buckle will add a touch of class and style to any outfit. Discreet, elegant and well crafted, this belt is a true synonym of style.

Established in 1837, Hermès has specialized in silk, saddles, leather, accessories, parfums, ceramics and prêt-à-porter with the highest quality and outstanding craftsmanship. Its logo, since the 1950s, has had a carriage pulled by a horse.

Born in Germany, Thierry Hermès was the son of a Frenchman. Thierry and his family relocated to France in 1828 and in 1837, he established Hermès as a harness workshop dedicated to serving noblemen in Paris. He created some of the finest wrought harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. Thierry's son, Charles-Émile Hermès, took over management in 1880 and established the well known shop at 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré where it remains today and where the new leader introduced saddlery and retail sales.

The Hermès Courchevel Constance H belt is available in different color combinations and different buckle finishes, shapes and sizes. One great thing is that you can buy the buckle and belt strap individually. Our favorite combo —the one pictured here— is the reversible black and tan leather strap with the classic brushed finished buckle. The size of this particular buckle is 2.4" x 1.5". This belt looks great with jeans, dressed pants or a bespoke suit.

If you are a versatile watchlifestyler that enjoys wearing black or brown shoes, then you definitely need one of these belts to properly match your outfit of choice. The watch to go with this 'H' belt is up to you. The one thing that we can assure you is that this belt goes well with any watch and its very popular among Audemars Piguet collectors.
