While you won’t complain owning a Rolex or Audemars Piguet, there are plenty of watches out there that have great design and movement without having to spend your family fortune. Below we take you through the best men’s watches under $2,000 for sensible buys that won’t compromise on style.
1. Junghans Max Bill Stainless Steel Watch: $865
Minimalism is a beautiful thing, and the Junghans Max Bill stainless
steel watch is simplicity defined. With a polished 38mm stainless steel
case, Swiss-made automatic movement, silver dial and luminous markers,
this German engineered watch is a true master class in modern design. It
is also water resistant, has a leather strap for durability and flaunts
a plexiglass composition with Sicralan coating. Perfect for gents who
want a dependable, stylish watch that’s different, retains its value and
isn’t a throwaway. 2. The Longines Master Collection 38mm Automatic: $1915
With its crocodile strap detailing and traditionalist elements, this
timepiece from Longines looks like it has been plucked from a forties
period drama. It has a water resistance of 30m, automatic Caliber L619.2
with 21 Jewels movement, date display at 6, 38mm sapphire glass case,
stainless steel elements and a round face. The silver detailing is
unexpected with the deep chocolate brown strap, making it a watch
suitable for gents who prefer to mix up their sartorial tonal palettes.3. Oris Big Crown Small Second Pointer Date Automatic Watch: $1539
The overall aesthetic of this wrist watch from Oris is a nostalgic nod
to the nineties. Featuring a black dial with luminous hands and Arabic
numeral hour markers, this is a playful and stark watch. Pair that with
its deep brown leather bracelet with contrast stitching, 44mm scratch
resistant sapphire crystal case, 100m water resistance, self-winding
automatic movement and you have a timepiece for everyday wear.4. Tag Heuer Formula 1: $1282
A clear frontrunner for the most versatile of our top watch choices, the
Tag Heuer Formula 1 is a very visually appealing model. A black
titanium carbide coated steel case and bezel and black perforated rubber
strap work well together, making this a stark model that is great for
all day use. This watch also features polished hand-applied indexes and
oversized “12” and “6” numerals, red tip second hand, monochrome “TAG
Heuer” logo, 200m water resistance, and an angled date window at 3
o’clock.5. Tissot T-Complication Chronometer: $1950
The Tissot brand describes their T-Complication Chronometer as a
remarkable fusion of modernity and precision, with luxury finishes and
details. The shape of this model is inspired by a wheel and a mechanical
hand-wound movement visible through the transparent case back is a nice
addition. A black leather strap with butterfly clasp with push-buttons
are also functional touches that will help out with durability and
everyday usage. 6. Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer Chronograph: $1139
This watch is an homage to the Marine Chronometer that Hamilton produced
for the US Navy in World War II. Inspired by marine influences and a
forties aesthetic, the Hamilton brand has worked with symbolism to
design this timepiece. Featuring white dial with blue hands, automatic
movement, 100m water resistance, scratch resistant sapphire crystal
case, this watch will surely have you looking stylish in no time. 7. Citizen Stainless Steel Eco-Drive Satellite Wave Watch: $1125
You will love the sombre blue tone of this watch’s face, mixed with the
steely kick of silver. Citizen describes this watch as inspired by the
creativity and imagination of dedicated craftsmen, bringing a classic
look to a timepiece equipped with some nifty precision mechanics. This
watch is also a great model for efficiency, drawing power from any light
source even in complete darkness and maintains a seven-year power
reserve. This model also includes GPS timekeeping technology with
adjustment available in 40 time zones, worldwide reception, perpetual
calendar, D.S.T. indicator, universal coordinated time display, dual
time, and 100m water resistance. 8. Alpina Chronograph Automatic Self Wind Watch: $1899
One of the most idiosyncratic tonal choices we have seen in a timepiece,
the aquatic, deep sea blue of this watch’s face is teamed with a latte
inspired sand tone of its bracelet. It’s not just all about the looks,
though; the Alpina Chronograph boasts a scratch-resistant sapphire
crystal “glassbox”, applied indexes, a dome-shaped dial, telemeter
function, 46hr power reserve, 50m water resistance, and an engraved case
back. The brand recommends this model for the gentleman “alpinist” who
values understated elegance but does not want to compromise on intrinsic
watchmaking content.9. Classima 8485: $ 1750
Featuring a date function, quartz movement and a durable black alligator
leather strap, the Classima 8485 is an excellent choice for
functionality. Slim, understated silver hands and Roman numerals at the
3, 6 and 9 o’clock blend in well with the chalk white face. Minimalism
was essential for this design, which features a simplistic strap
alongside a clean, round 42mm case. This timepiece is perfect for
corporate wear, and would work perfectly with a well-tailored suit and a
precisely styled quiff.
10. Bell & Ross BR S Ceramic Matte: $1987
This matte model dubbed by Bell & Ross as the BR S Ceramic Matte is a
great little touch to most casual outfits. Bell & Ross have kept
this excellent model true to its aeronautical origins, reimagining its
iconic model with a sleeker and thinner creation. The ceramic 39mm case
is resistant to scratches, unalterable in colour, 100m water resistance
and is exceptionally lightweight.
