Rebellion Predator Watch

It comes with an evocative name, stirring up feelings of aggression, independence, and hunting. Really it is a high-end racing watch, and not some fancy Weapon, or a long awaited new Predator series movie (a good one I mean). For this is. Swiss Rebellion's first round watch (can you believe it!?) Are they getting too mainstream? Naw...

The large round case has bezel cut-aways for their distinctive torx screws and ceramic inserts on the lug structures. The watch is available in several material versions where you can mix-and-match steel, ceramic, and red gold. In addition to the tri-compax chronograph as seen, the Predator watch will be available in a three-hand (time only) and monopusher chronograph version. You can visualize the clear "technical" looking face with the now in, honey-comb texture on the dial. Likely with a bit of movement view action going on underneath that.

Even though the dial is highly stylized, it would not be characterized as difficult to read. Inside the watch are Swiss automatic mechanical movements. The partially obstructed subsidiary seconds indicator on a disc (like a brake rotor) is always a fun touch. Nothing hugely original, but Rebellion is certainly on a short list of high-end luxury watches with race car technology inspired themes. The new predator watches will all be available as limited editions.

Sunseeker Predator 108 + Caterham 7 = Awesome by Land and Sea

If you've laid out the £7.1 million ($11.4M U.S.) necessary to take ownership of a Sunseeker Predator 108 Special Edition, you might want to give serious thought to whether you need a tender. After all, there are docks, water taxis, and the smaller yachts of lesser mortals to get you from ship-to-shore.

What you might actually want is something as magnificent on land as the Predator is on the water in that case, Sunseeker would like to recommend you install a Caterham 7 in the hold. As a kickstart to inspiration for for visitors to the London Boat Show the yacht maker did just that. Fair warning though: the Predator sleeps eight but the Caterham only seats, so you'll probably need to be nice to the captain to get a ride. And if you really can't do without a tender – Caterhams are known to have a hard time floating in Aegean inlets – allow us to introduce you to the word "inflatable."

The London Boat Show runs until January 17.
