5 special watches for men

« Something fancy for the wrist »

For some gentlemen, it is enough that they themselves know the value of their luxurious timepiece. Equally legitimate is the desire of other men that their precious accessory catches the eye. Do you belong to the second faction? Look forward to special wristwatches that testify to their sense of style and are guaranteed to be admired.

Movie Star with Vintage Style: Omega Seamaster Diver 300 M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 007 Edition

Life is peppered with challenges that you master with courage, finesse and acumen. What fits this better than special wristwatches for men who are not impressed by escapades? As a movie star, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300 M Co-Axial Master Chronometer proved that it meets the high requirements of real military watches. With it, 007 secret agent James Bond alias Daniel Craig not only successfully fulfilled his mission. He also contributed constructively to the development of the limited special edition.

The Swiss brand remains faithful to the technical setting for which the legendary diving watch collection is internationally appreciated. With the helium escape valve and the special bezel, the timepieces were created for deep-sea diving, water resistant up to 300 meters. In order to face everyday adventures without any worries, ultra-light titanium grade 2 characterizes the 42mm case and milanaise strap.

The innovative industrial material is also a key aesthetic element of the accessory, which appropriately has “No time to die” in its movie appearance. Indestructibly charming is the vintage look with tropical brown dial and blackened skeleton hands. Omega has created special wristwatches for men with the Seamaster Diver 300 M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 007 edition, which is a pleasure to dive into the extravagant spheres of luxury timepieces.

Purist opulence – Maurice Lacroix Eliros Sunshine 40mm

The Swiss noble brand established the Eliros collection in 1996 to design special wristwatches for men and women. The aim is to transform trendy impulses into simple timeless design. Does the philosophy contradict a creation that is all about golden yellow? The surprising answer is: No! Maurice Lacroix proves this with the Eliros Sunshine 40mm. There is nothing ostentatious about its dazzling harmony, which extends from the gold-plated case to the dial and calfskin strap. Rather, the jewelry watches exude delightfully unconventional pure optimism.

The move succeeds because the quartz watch remains true to the emphatically minimalist tenor that is typical of the collection. It is expressed, for example, in the absence of indices or numerals. Characteristically, Maurice Lacroix rounds off the Eliros Sunshine 40mm with a pyramid-shaped texture that also encompasses the entire jewelry piece of watchmaking art. Those who curiously explore the textured leather strap in gold tone with their sense of touch while wearing it must admit: Special wristwatches remind us that life wants to be lived. This is precisely the insight that the renowned company wants to convey with its men’s watches, which are also recommended for ladies thanks to their slim design.

Monochrome work of art – Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase Black Magic

Fans of exclusive timepieces were astonished when Hublot combined gold with rubber for the first time in watches and the result was captivatingly attractive. Since then, it has been the declared goal of the courageous manufacture to combine traditional watchmaking art and innovative creative elegance. It likes to play with material contrasts, which becomes apparent when zooming in on the strap of the Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase Black Magic. It is made of alligator leather and rubber and thus dares to mix classic-exclusive and modern-functional materials.

It’s hard to tear oneself away as soon as the interaction in the ceramic case comes into focus. Consistently, almost all details of the displays for date, time and moon phase remain true to the gray and black tones. As a result, the fascinating automatic movement with its countless components magically attracts the eye, which Hublot brings to bear on the watches with a skeletonized design.

The masterpiece of watchmaking has the power of fascination that makes special wristwatches for men. By the way, the Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase Black Magic looks deadly chic on the wrist. This is thanks to the courage of the completely black appearance. In the fashion world, it is called a “total look” and is considered a high art of creativity. Because there is a fine line between monotonous boredom and breathtaking purism. The luxury brand has succeeded in this tightrope walk, presenting special wristwatches for men in restrained black that look downright spirited on closer inspection.

Poster retro style from Italy- U-Boat Classico

In 1942, Ivo Fontana was commissioned to develop special wristwatches for the gentlemen of the Italian Navy. Although he immediately set to work, the project never reached completion. It was only when his grandson came across it a few decades later that the remarkable designs for men’s watches received the attention they deserved. At the turn of the millennium, it was done: the U-Boat Classico finally graced the wrists of self-confident men.

For the original order, it was enormously important that naval officers could easily read the time during underwater missions with correspondingly poor lighting conditions. This is reflected in the pointedly clear dial design with strikingly large numbers. Nowadays, of course, the original design no longer meets the demands that military-grade time indicators have to fulfill. Thus, the U-Boat Classico sees itself more as a tribute to the Fontana workshops and men who love special wristwatches. A brown leather strap completes the Italian men’s watches with a charismatic retro touch in a particularly stylish way.

Futurism for individualists – Sevenfriday S3 Engine

Is the dose of extravagance in the featured luxury watches not enough for you? Then the accessories by Daniel Niederer and industrial designer Arnaud Duval are your thing. You’ll look in vain for the usual in their timepieces. That’s because the label was founded in 2012 to challenge the status quo and enrich the watch scene with impressive impulses. Fittingly, the Sevenfriday S3 Engine comes up with a square format that is hard to miss on the wrist.

In some collections, the lifestyle brand turns the display upside down in such a way that reading the watch for the first time is like taking an intelligence test. The S series is somewhat more classic in this respect, displaying the hours and minutes as usual and only the seconds in an unconventional way on a disc. Typical for the design style of the eccentric automatic watches is a depth effect, which Sevenfriday forces in the S3 Engine with a partially skeletonized dial. If you’re looking for special wristwatches for men that clearly stand out from the mainstream, you’ll hit the bull’s eye with this one.
