I had been surprised when Piaget announced the brand new Polo S and Polo S Chronograph watches in July last year. Piaget already has a sports opinion at the Polo FortyFive, but a new luxury sports watch in steel was not something I was expecting out of them. The newest Piaget Polo S and Polo S Chronograph watches are important for the new because, first, their designs are more attractive to younger viewers, and second, they’re considerably cheaper than Piaget’s more typical ultra-thin and dressy watches. So it is with these thoughts in mind today that I check out the new Piaget Polo S Chronograph watch in addition to the Polo S Chronograph in black ADLC using a rubber band, the non-chronograph variant of that we additionally covered.Before I talk about the Polo S Chronograph watch, it’s worth doing a quick recap of this newest Piaget Polo S watches. Unofficially, the “S” stands for sports and steel. But perhaps more importantly, the design of these new watches has created a lot of chatter online, mainly because of their similarity to Patek Philippe’s Nautilus and Aquanaut. But I think that is largely because most individuals are unaware of Piaget’s earlier Polo watch from the late ’70s. If you are familiar with the classic Polo, you’ll immediately see that the new Polo S watches have more in common with the vintage Polo compared to Patek Philippe’s Nautilus and Aquanaut.
