Classic Men's Watches

Round case, analogue hands and an uncluttered dial in black, white or blue: that is the recipe of a classic men's watch. Most here run on quartz, valued for accuracy and low upkeep, alongside automatic and some hand-wound mechanical models. Date windows and luminous hands are frequent extras, and a case around 38 to 42 mm suits most wrists.

Just Watch, Eichmüller, Excellanc and Raptor offer steel bracelets, leather straps and synthetic leather. At 3 ATM a watch copes with splashes and rain, 5 ATM allows a little more, such as hand washing, and neither is meant for diving. Pared-back faces are in the minimalist watches, warmer finishes among the gold-tone models.
