Wow, man. This is so weird.

Like a week ago, I'd asked ChatGPT (DALL-E) to generate an image of the "perfect classic watch". And the image below is what it'd generated. And I think it looks a lot like your watch!

Looks like you can get it on eBay for like $40. Pretty good value, imo

 

Hi everyone,

Tonight, I'd decided to ask ChatGPT the following question: "In your opinion, what would the best classic watch look like?", and I got the following description in response:

The best classic watch would be one that balances timeless elegance with functionality. Here's a description of such a watch:

  • The case would likely be made of a high-quality material like stainless steel or a precious metal like gold or platinum, shaped in a simple round, square, or rectangular form with a slim profile to slip easily under a shirt cuff.
  • The dial would be clean and uncluttered, featuring Roman or stick indices, perhaps with a subtle sunburst finish to catch the light. The hands would be slender and refined, perhaps in a classic dauphine or feuille style.
  • A high-quality mechanical movement would be at its heart, possibly with a smooth sweeping seconds hand that signifies its craftsmanship.
  • The watch might feature a sapphire crystal due to its scratch-resistant properties.
  • It would be completed with a fine leather strap in black or brown, or a simple, elegant metal bracelet with a hidden clasp.
  • The overall design would avoid overly trendy elements, ensuring it remains stylish across decades.

This watch would not draw immediate attention with flashy details but would reveal its quality and elegance upon closer inspection. It would be versatile enough to be worn in both formal and casual settings.

I'd also asked it to generate an image, based on the description above. The generated image is attached to this post.

My question is, is there a watch out there, that actually looks like the generated image?

Straight from the website:

Refined and elegant, the Navitimer Automatic 41 combines the historic appeal of a true icon with the sophistication of a contemporary timepiece. Available in a variety of materials including stainless steel and 18k red gold, the 41 mm case features a beaded bezel and a range of elegant dial colors. Offered either with a matching bracelet or alligator strap that fits both a stainless-steel pin or folding buckle, the Navitimer Automatic 41 is powered by the Breitling Caliber 17, a COSC-certified chronometer.

My favorite Breitling.
