These are the watches with a clean dial that tells the time, and maybe the date. And that’s it. These are the kinds of watches that often look best dressed up, but can also be worn casually. Here are ten of the best, with affordability kept in mind. Because sometimes you’re just not timing a deep sea exploration, figuring out how many amps you’ve got to cut from the LEM, or calculating the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow.
Orient Bambino III Automatic – $182 w/ DAPPERED30 ($260)
Orient’s Brand New Bauhaus inspired Bambino. Still has the domed case, the in-house automatic movement, and the works-for-most 40.5 mm case diameter. But they’ve simplified the dial with slim indices & hands, & added a blue & grey face options. Still $182 with the numerous 30% off codes that are floating around out there.
Rodina Automatic (NOMOS Homage) – $119.99
To say it’s an “homage” of the NOMOS Tangete would be an understatement, but it’s also less than a tenth of the price. From the largest manufacturer of mechanical movements in the world. Sapphire crystal with an automatic movement. And while it doesn’t look like it costs a hundred bucks, it does sorta feel that way. Not terrible though. Full review here.
Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Automatic MKII – $550
Swiss made simplicity. And get a load of that circular date window. Nice touch from their design team. Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, exhibition case back, and 39 mm case. “Galvanic” one piece metal dial. Like all other Christopher Ward watches, this one comes with a 60 day free returns window, and a 60 month movement guarantee. Too spendy? They’ve got a quartz version for $275.visualizzare più rolex repliche e rolex imitazioni
