Ralph Lauren Debuts New Safari Watches
For decades, Ralph Lauren has been known for his safari chic clothing and the designer added watches to the Sporting Collection two years ago. The Safari Chronometer carried out the rugged but refined Lauren spirit with weathered alligator straps, nature-inspired dials and unusual finishes.
Now Lauren has added new pieces to the collection including the Safari RL67 Chronometer with 45mm gunmetal finish steel case and camo dial that sells for $3,800. Another new model is the RL67 Safari Chronometer with 39mm case and khaki toned dial. Both models will be in stores soon.
Lauren explained his fascination with the safari lifestyle. โWhen I started out as a designer, I dreamed of going to Africa, to safari,โ he said. โSafari is about living the life you want and pushing yourself beyond your limitations. Itโs the dream of experiencing the wild and seeing the farthest reaches of the world.โ
Maybe the closest youโre going to get to a safari is taking Fido to the local dog park but at least you can live out the fantasy of adventure with a Ralph Lauren Safari watch.
