Consider the Style and Craftsmanship of these Men’s Watches

Men love their wristwatches. Aside from jewelry, there are few accessories that most men would consider wearing beyond their favorite watch. A man’s watch can tell you a lot about him. It can offer a window into his personal interests, his profession, or even his sense of style. Some men have two watches; one casual and one formal. However, many men prefer to have a watch with versatility; one that can be worn doing yard work just as easily as at a wedding. This helpful overview highlights several timepieces that meet these criteria.

Stuhrling Original produced an instant classic when they released the Zeppelin Skeleton watch. The surgical grade 316L stainless steel case comes in a rich black finish with silver-tone accents, and is inspired by the grand luxury airships of old. This stylish watch also features an exhibition case back, allowing the user a view into the intricate workings of the Caliber ST-90089 movement.

For the man who wants a fine timepiece that can also be worn in a marine setting, Bulova offers Men's Marine Star BVA stainless steel watch. The Marine Star BVA has a finely crafted, round silver-tone stainless steel case fit with an exhibition case back for viewing the incredible Japanese Miyota automatic movement. An “open heart window” on the beautifully textured blue dial displays the Miyota movement. Water resistant to 100 meters, a classic stainless steel bracelet secures this fantastic piece securely to your wrist.

Croton brings us yet another timepiece suited for the deep sea or the board room with the Men’s Green Vortex Diver Watch. Available in blue, green, pineapple, or red, all Green Vortexes are detailed with stunning color and a green-tinted mineral coated sapphire crystal. Water resistant to 200 meters, the Green Vortex is a must have in any diver’s ensemble!

Everything about the Rotary Men’s Mecanique Limited Edition watch speaks to its style and quality, right down to its luxurious wooden case. A brushed finish stainless steel case, in your choice of silver-tone or gold-tone, houses the famed Swiss ETA 17-Jewel mechanical movement. As with the previous two models, the Mecanique Limited Edition features an exhibition case back for a beautiful view of the Swiss movement. Stylishly engraved with the words “Limited Edition” on the back, Rotary only made 700 of these magnificent pieces.

Invicta’s Reserve Subaqua Venom Men’s Watch is truly an amazing sight to behold. The Venom’s signature 316L stainless steel case is adorned in gorgeous 18K gold-plating. A unidirectional rotating bezel has Arabic numerals at 10 second intervals, as well as scalloped edges where screw accents are located. The Venom’s bi-level dial comes in your choice of blue sunray or black matte, and has a very nautical aesthetic. A 1/10 second counter sits next to 2:00 while a second counter rests atop 6:00 and a minute counter is observed near 10:00. A durable polyurethane strap keeps this exciting watch firmly gripped to your wrist.

For the man who is not afraid to wear diamonds, Renato Men's Wilde-Beast Diamond Watch is a classy and stunningly unique timepiece. Sturdy 316L stainless steel plated with 18K rose gold constructs the marvelous five-piece case drenched in approximately 3.44ct of diamonds spread over the bezel, case, and lugs. A chronograph complication allows you to accurately time events and gives additional functionality to an already majestic platform. The round chocolate brown dial, fashioned with a unique carbon fiber, displays a date window at 4:00, rose-tone Arabic numerals at 8:00 and 12:00, and rose-tone luminous index markers at all remaining hour positions. Rose-tone sub-dials are located near 2:00, 6:00, and 10:00 with the Renato logo beneath 12:00. Also water resistant to 300 meters, a tapered, rose gold-plated stainless steel bracelet completes the Wilde-Beast from Renato.

Another stylish watch with “animalistic” quality is the Renato T-Rex Special Edition Watch. The T-Rex features a black ionic-plated 316L stainless steel case, a scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and an exhibition case back that proudly displays the highly regarded Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement. The round black dial features a gemstone accented numeral at 9:00, metallic luminous hands, and an “open heart” window into the inner workings of this dinosaur. Available in either green or rose-tone, the green choice has green topaz accents on the numeral at 9:00, a green logo at 12:00, green index markers, and green hands. The rose-tone choice has white diamond accents on the numeral at 9:00, a rose-tone logo at 12:00, rose-tone index markers, and rose-tone hands.

Men’s watches have experienced a renaissance over the past decade. Once strictly dedicated to either simple functionality or exorbitant luxury, watchmakers around the world have begun to provide well-crafted timepieces that can fill both of these niches simultaneously. Hopefully you will find your new timepiece today!
