A Glam Slam loves any excuse to talk about Chanel. And when it involves a sports connection, well that's even better.

The Parisian fashion house has launched their first ever men's diving watch. The brand teamed up with Laird Hamilton, American big wave surfer, to create the J-12 Marine, the latest addition to the existing J-12 line. The watch is waterproof up to 300 meters, features glow-in-the-dark numbers and hands, and has a rubberized strap that allows water to flow through. [WWD]

But on top of its performance enhancing features, this timepiece boasts a fashion-forward, yet masculine design. Available in a black band with a black or blue face or a white band with a white face, all options are ultra sleek.

Hamilton can attest to the fact that this timepiece is a great for surfers, noting that its ability to stay securely on his arm when he's getting banged around on his surfboard is its best attribute. And since we are talking Chanel, you know a hefty price tag is soon to follow. The watch will set you back $4700 (for the 38 mm) and $4900 (for the 42 mm). But it's a walk in the park as compared to Rafael Nadal's $525,000 Richard Mille watch, which did win him the French Open. Ah, the price to pay to become a champion.
