There are a handful of watches that will never go out of style. These are what we consider timeless classics, and it is a good thing they exist, as a quality watch is not something you want to purchase and enjoy for only one seasonal trend.
If we were about to lay out a couple hard-earned paychecks on a watch worthy of our time, these are the classics we’d want to choose from.
Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner features a classic stainless steel sub casing, a stout but manageable 40mm diameter, and a practical Swiss automatic movement. Its hands and hour markers are ellegant, its body is bold, and if your the kind of man that likes to define himself as a classic gentlemen, the Rolex Sub is practically the definition of timeless.
A. Lange & Söehne 1815
1815 was the birth date of Ferdinand A. Lange. And now almost 200 years later, his watches have not changed much, and that is because their traditional craftsmanship is still irreplaceable even in a world where most technology can barely survive six months without becoming fossilized. the 1815 celebrates some of the most beautiful elements of time, including its classic Arabic numerals, railway-track minute scale, and precision blue hands.
Omega Seamaster 300 M
From the Omega James Bond Series comes a chronograph worthy of your greatest adventure. It features a unidirectional rotating bezel, automatic movement, a brushed steel case, and scratch resistant sapphire crystal. The Seamaster 300 M can handle up to 1000 feet of water pressure, and we also hear it handles itself quite well when under the pressure of making a great first impression.
IWC Classic Pilot Chronograph
The IWC Classic Pilot functions as elegantly on a dinner date as it does during everyday rugged play. It is practical, durable, and easier to read than most classic timepieces thanks to its stout anti-reflective coating, We can think of over 20 reasons of why we’d like to own this watch, and absolutely zero reason why we wouldn’t.
Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5146G-010
From an investment standpoint, the Patek Philippe 5146G is a fantastic timepiece to add to your collection. From a gentleman’s point of view it defines all the class, elegance, and sophistication of what an everyday watch is supposed to represent. It features power reserve, automatic movement, and a transparent case back to show off its impressively organized mechanical chaos. A crocodile leather strap hints at its wild side, in case you mistook it as being only a collectors timepiece.
