A timepiece says a lot about its wearer, and we’re here to make sure you’re making the right statement. Join us in our series outlining the best choices for a fully rounded watch wardrobe with the timepieces that every man should own.
Whether you are an astronaut or a construction worker, there will arise, in life, events when you will be required to don a suit. Not only is this your opportunity to dress like the debonair, handsome devil we all know you are deep down, it is also an occasion for your timepiece to get dressed up too.
You’ve already covered your bases with an all-purpose watch, and perhaps you’re looking to expand your collection before an extra elegant event. This is where the dress watch comes in.
A dress watch is, by definition, one that can be appropriately worn with an elevated style of dress. The precise specifications of a dress watch vary, but typically a dress watch is one with a precious metal case (gold or platinum), a leather strap, an uncomplicated, classic face, and an unobtrusive size. Essentially, it should make you and your suit/tux look good, not detract from either.
One of our favorite dress watched is this Breguet 5157 in 18kt gold with a brown croc strap.
The sleek, simple Roman numerals and subtle textured dial are the ultimate in refined sophistication. Even the classic hands are ideal. And just to take this watch to the next level, its 18kt gold case is fitted with a skeleton back:
The hidden feature of the skeleton back gives this watch edge and differentiates it from any run of the mill dress watch – but only its wearer will know (again, it’s giving all the credit to your great fitting suit and good looks). This watch is luxurious, timeless (figuratively) and will age beautifully.
