May We Recommend
01. Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400: The New Standard
The Aquis Date is Oris’ bestseller, and it’s not difficult to see why. A classic design, with some tasteful colourways and good case sizes, paired with the choice of a classic bracelet or a sportier rubber strap and at a reasonable price tag is certainly a recipe for success. But to make things better, it is also the first watch that Oris picked to feature the spanking new calibre 400. The movement features a five-day or 120-hour power reserve, high resistance to magnetism, recommended service intervals of 10 years, and a 10-year warranty. Looking at the figures, one can tell that the movement was created for longevity and with a customer-first approach in mind. The fuss-free Aquis Date Calibre 400 comes in a 43.5mm stainless steel case that has a 300m water resistance rating, making it a true blue diver.
02. Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Land Rover Defender Edition: The Beast Within The Beauty
The Defy 21 is a high performance, modern take on the esteemed El Primero movement that pushes its legacy onto a newer audience. This draws several parallels with what Land Rover has done to bring the iconic Defender in the 21st century. The launch of this watch coincided with the release of the new Defender, and just like the off-roader, the watch also presents a few significant changes. A stark departure from the Defy’s busy open-worked dial, Zenith has taken a more conservative route with a slate grey, velvet-finish dial. It perfectly matches the 44mm matte-grey, micro-blasted titanium case. This dramatically muted monochromatic construction is wonderfully contrasted by the tasteful orange accents on the sub-dial hands and the dial, along with the orange band on the crown. The watch appropriately uses Zenith’s signature movement, the ultra-accurate, high-frequency El Primero 21. The certified chronometer movement has a 50-hour power reserve. But the real fun begins when you actuate the chronograph complication. On doing so, a 50Hz beast is awakened to measure 1/100th of a second! The 21 has two escapements—one for the main timekeeping and one for the chronograph. The former operates at 36,000vph, while the latter works at a mind-boggling 3,60,000vph!
03. Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic—Thin Is In
The Octo Finissimo line of watches is up there with the horological elites for its razor-sharp thinness and what the team over at Bulgari painstakingly went through to achieve it. Apart from being one of the pinnacles of haute horlogerie, ultra-thin watches are also unbelievably comfortable on the wrist, with the user barely being able to comprehend the weight and dimensions of the timepiece. Our pick here is the stainless steel Octo Finissimo Automatic, an Octo that retains all of the gogolsod fusion of edgy Italian design and Swiss engineering, paired with an exquisite satin-brushed stainless steel case. It is powered by the famed BVL 138 Finissimo movement that measures a mere 2.23mm and yet delivers an extraordinarily impressive 60-hour power reserve. The watch itself is 6.40mm thick, and a balanced case size of 40mm hints at the versatility of the Octo, making this the perfect watch for a gentlemen appreciative of the extreme limits of watchmaking in a handsome package.
04. The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph—The Versatile Sport Watch
Another solid 42mm watch that’ll suit your daily-wear requirements, this watch is slightly sportier than its three-hand counterpart, owing to its chronograph feature and blue accents. While this dial is in white, it still features the signature Clous de Paris pattern of the Laureato collection, while forming the perfect backdrop for the black sub-dials with snailed finishing, offering contrast not just in colour, but through texture as well. The ‘panda’ dial has 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters at nine and six, while the small seconds is at three o’clock. Constructed from superior 904L steel, which is distinguished by its high chromium content, this watch is water resistant to 100m. An integrated bracelet, also in steel and with finishing that reflects true integration, completes the look. The movement powering this chronograph watch is a self-winding mechanical calibre offering a power reserve of at least 46 hours.
05. An Ode To Discovery—The Louis Moinet Geograph
A chronograph tailor-made for the modern day, despite being inspired by the 1820s, the Louis Moinet Geograph is a chronograph that wows with its practical yet elegant design aesthetic. Inside the 45.5mm stainless steel case is an exquisite brown dial with a striking guilloche decoration. At 12 o’clock, one can see the 30-minute counter, while at six o’clock rests the 12-hour counter. At nine o’clock is a date indicator. A sinuous central hand with a red tip points to the periphery of the watch, which is coloured blue for night time and gold for day, representing the second time zone. The chronograph pushers have atlas motifs, taking us back in time to the days when the world was at the cusp of the discovery of new lands through sea voyages. Powering the timepiece is a self-winding mechanism that offers a power reserve of 48 hours. The watch comes with a brown Louisiana alligator leather strap with a stainless steel buckle that looks fetching against the brown dial.
06. On A Galactic Scale: The Urwerk UR Satellite UR-100 SpaceTime GunMetal
Are you the kind of person who’s fascinated by space? Would you like a little piece of the heavens above on your wrist? Look no further than the Urwerk UR-100 SpaceTime GunMetal , where time and space are truly each other’s better halves. As with all of Urwerk’s Satellite timepieces, here too we have wandering hours and minutes—a display configuration that truly sets Urwerk apart from the rest. The wandering hour indication sits on a carousel with three ‘satellites’ with three numerals each. What makes this watch truly special, however, is that this timepiece also provides space geeks with astronomical indications. When the minute hand has completed its 60-minute journey, it reappears on a 20-minute scale (located at 10 o’clock) of 555km—this is the distance one travels in 20 minutes if one is standing on the equator of Earth. The scale on the opposite side (at two o’clock) does you one better—it tracks your journey through space around the sun, which is 35,740km every 20 minutes. Driving these indications is the brand’s calibre 12.01. While these indications might not have any practical use in our day-to-day lives, they do show us how we’re a small part of the bigger picture, and that’s always something to think about.
07. The Best Of An Icon: Girard-Perregaux’s Classic Bridges
The Bridges are Girard-Perregaux’s pride and joy, with a motif of their bridge design also included in their brand’s emblem. The origins of the Bridges go back to the 1800s when the Swiss watchmakers developed a Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges, which became the bases of the mechanism’s construction, exposed as they were to instantly become a signature of the brand. The Bridges collection has since been reinterpreted in various materials and even sportier editions, but the contemporary Classic Bridges best represents the early editions of this iconic collection. Set in a 40mm case in pink gold, the Classic Bridges offers sheer contrast with its open-worked mechanism that exposes components in steel, forming the perfect backdrop for the bridges and hands in hues to match the case and the suspending indexes. The automatic calibre, offering a power reserve of 48 hours, can also be seen through the transparent caseback in sapphire crystal.

08. The Architecturally Splendid Corum Golden Bridge Round
There are classic designs that one can never go wrong with, and there are distinctive statement pieces that have classical design cues, but also grab attention like others don’t. This Corum Golden Bridge Round is one of them, and the most classical rendition of the Golden Bridge, since it comes in a round case. Yet, the transparency and the detailed architectural splendour of the collection is enhanced in this edition, especially with the diagonal beams on either side of the manual-winding in-line baguette calibre CO113, which offers a 40-hour power reserve. They are directly inspired by the support beams on the sides of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA, which is quite fitting considering the name of this collection. With sapphire crystal for the glass, caseback and the casebands, you get a clear visual of all the detailing and finishing, seen on the beams and movement. The 43mm case is in rose gold, with the inner bezel and hands in brass. Water resistant to 30m, it comes fitted with a leather strap to complete the classical look.
09. Class Act: Frederique Constant Highlife COSC And Heart Beat
While these watches are among the latest, 2020 editions of the Highlife collection, the series itself was first launched over two decades ago, and is one of the most important collections for the brand. The first models were launched with the Triple Time series and a year later, the collection was upgraded with a tourbillon, visible through an aperture. Subsequently a perpetual calendar, a chronograph and a manufacture movement were added to diversify this portfolio, along with designs for women as well. This year, the collection is back with three new editions, including the Highlife Heart Beat and Highlife Automatic COSC seen here. Elegant and classy, these watches are perfect for everyday use without the wearer having to worry too much since they are priced quite reasonably. They come in 41mm steel cases—featuring gold-plated elements in certain versions—with integrated interchangeable bracelets that don’t need any tools for changing. The new Highlife Heart Beat is replete with its trademark aperture at 12 o’clock, which is finished with three luminescent hands. The minimalist design gives a peek into the inner workings of the automatic FC-310 calibre, which supplies the watch with a power reserve of 38 hours. The new Highlife Automatic COSC is powered by the in-house calibre FC-310—the brand’s first COSC-certified chronometer movement. With certifiable accuracy, this timepiece is also designed for everyday use. All new Highlife models come with dials in white, blue, or black, with a globe motif engraved on each.
10. Nomos Club: The Horology Initiation
One of the most versatile timepieces from the German watchmaker, the Nomos Club is an ideal companion for your wrist. Whether you’re in the sporting arena, or in a boardroom, or simply relaxing with friends on the weekend—this watch will never let you down. Designed to enthral younger horology enthusiasts, the watch is powered by the in-house DUW 3001 automatic movement, which is fitted with the brand’s proprietary escapement—the Nomos swing system—introduced in 2014. This tiny mechanism is lighter than a feather but high on mechanical precision. Equipped with a power reserve of 43 hours, the movement is housed in a 39.5mm stainless steel case and is presented on a sleek matching bracelet. The dial flaunts a classic vibe with white silver-plated Arabic and Roman numerals and indexes, with dark blue Super-LumiNova.
11. All That Glitters—The Urwerk UR Satellite UR-210 RG
Emblazoned next to name itself are the initials ‘RG’ indicating what this member of Urwerk’s distinctive line of timepieces has going for it—red gold. While variants of the UR-210 usually come in steel, this watch’s case has been crafted from brushed 18-karat red gold, and the caseback and crown (placed at 12 o’clock, making for easy winding) are in titanium. Urwerk’s patented funky ‘satellite’ display remains here, with its wandering hour and minutes. The true mechanical genius of this watch is revealed when the minute hand is at the end of the 59th minute. This is when the wearer hears a sharp click and the hand comes back to the starting point in less than 1/10th of a second! Near about 11 o’clock, this watch has something called a winding efficiency indicator, a first-of-its-kind complication. When it is pointing to green, it means that the mainspring is being fed energy adequately. On the opposite side is the watch’s power reserve indicator. Powering this behemoth is the UR-7.10 calibre, with a power reserve of 39 hours.
12. A New-Age ‘Classic’: Girard-Perregaux’s Free Bridge and Free Bridge Infinity
These 2020 Free Bridge watches take forward what Girard-Perregaux did with their Neo Bridges watch—which presents their signature bridge element in a more futuristic avatar than is seen in the Classic Bridges. Like the Neo and Classic models mentioned above, these watches are also time-only versions, in that they don’t offer any complication, which puts them among the more wearable pieces within the Bridges collection. The ‘Free Bridge’ term comes from the visual presentation of the solo bridge seen on the lower half of the dial, seemingly separate from the rest of the movement, at the base of the mainplate. The movement upgrade in these watches comes in the form of silicon—used here in the escapement and parts of the balance wheel—which enhances accuracy, owing to silicon’s resistance to magnetic fields and temperature changes, unlike its metallic counterparts. The automatic movement also offers a significant power reserve of 54 hours. These 44mm watches come in steel. The Free Bridge Infinity is from an Infinity Edition that also comprises special editions of other brand signatures, such as the Laureato, Vintage 1945, and 1966. These Infinity Editions are characterised by their dials made of onyx, with hour markers and other details in gold, offset against the glossy, black onyx. The Free Bridge Infinity’s eponymous bridge is also in gold, as is the oscillating mass, while the steel case comes with a black DLC treatment, enhancing its stealth appeal.
13. The Parmigiani Kalpa Hebdomadaire—Breaking The Mould
The tonneau- or barrel-shaped Kalpa is probably the most distinguished collection of Parmigiani, and what an apt flagbearer it is for the brand! Designed by founder Michel Parmigiani, it was created to incorporate proportions that will fit almost any wrist comfortably, no matter what the size. The shape of the ergonomically constructed case is further defined by the tear-shaped lugs that make the fit even better. Form without function this watch is not! In fact, the movement of this watch is tonneau-shaped—made specifically for this timepeice to ensure a better fit for the mechanism too, instead of simply placing a frame around a regular round movement. The barrel-shaped Kalpa movement was first developed by Mr Parmigiani in 1998 to maintain ‘consistency between contents and the container—between the mechanical heart and exterior aesthetic’. The new Hebdomadaire edition not only pays tribute to the founder, but also delivers in spades, with a hefty power reserve of eight days. This means, at the most, you’ll only have to wind this manual-winding watch about weekly—which is what ‘hebdomadaire’ means in French. The reserve is indicated at 12 o’clock, on a scale from H to B (‘haut’ to ‘bas’, or ‘high’ to ‘low’ in French), with a wide date window below it. Diametrically opposite is the small seconds sub-dial, with snailed finishing. Other detailing on the black dial includes guilloche finishing, with an opaline centre and delta-shaped hands. The 42.3mm by 32.1mm case comes with sapphire crystal for the glass and caseback, and is fitted with an Hermès alligator leather strap with a folding clasp.
14. H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Tourbillon Funky Blue: The Show Stealer
The eccentric watchmakers over at H. Moser & Cie. can be described best as being technologically advanced but minimalistic when it comes to aesthetics. And that’s best depicted in the Endeavour Tourbillon. Stripped back to its bare essentials, the face of the watch only displays the spectacular blue fumé finished dial devoid of any logos or markings. This visually pure concept is contrasted wonderfully by the striking visual of the flying tourbillon cage on the lower half of the dial. The 40mm red gold case, however, is what manages to wonderfully glue the entire piece together, turning it into an absolute visual treat. The movement used here is the HMC 804, an automatic tourbillon movement with a power reserve of up to 72 hours.
15. Arnold & Son Time Pyramid Tourbillon: A Power-Packed Performance
With a skeletonised pyramid-shaped tourbillon that appears to float seamlessly between two layers of sapphire crystal, the Time Pyramid Tourbillon is the newest member to join the Time Pyramid family. The skeletonised calibre A&S8615 pays tribute to the John Arnold’s regulators with their distinctive hours, minutes and seconds on different axes. The movement is built on three levels. The tourbillon and the two power reserve indicators are superimposed by a sapphire crystal dial indicating the hours itself, crowned with a rhodium-plated ring for the minutes. This exclusive construction offers a lively look and three-dimensional face to the timepiece and, to further enhance the balance and symmetry, the crown is positioned at six o’clock. The gear train runs vertically in a linear arrangement connecting the two barrels at six o’clock to the tourbillon escapement at 12 o’clock, giving the movement its pyramidal architecture. The bridges are designed so that all the wheels, the two mainspring barrels, the escapement and balance wheel are all visible from the dial side. This beautiful mechanism is housed in a generous red gold case measuring 44.5mm, and can keep the watch ticking for at least 90 hours. Besides the off-centred hours and minutes; the seconds are on the tourbillon and the two power reserve indicators are on each side of the linear gear train. The blued steel hands indicate the right barrel taking over, when the left barrel reaches a low power reserve, thus ensuring non-stop functioning of the timepiece.
16. Louis Moinet Derrick: No Frills Attached
In 2013, Louis Moinet created quite the stir when it launched the Derrick Tourbillon watch. The avant-garde and distinct design was introduced to get the collectors’ attention and so it did. It replicated the working of an oil derrick in a miniaturised form and made timekeeping interesting with its mechanical prowess. This set off a demand for a pared-down version of the Derrick concept, which led the brand to launch a simplified and slightly more accessible model in 2019, without a tourbillon complication. When compared with its predecessor, the skeleton structure of the new Derrick is now more towards the left at nine o’clock, than the centre. The unique derrick mechanism dominates the upper half of the black dial, depicting the main components of a traditional oil well pumpjack—commonly known as a ‘nodding donkey’. It is crafted in brushed aluminium and is extremely light. This allows better movement of the lever since one cycle repeats thrice a minute. The watch measures a robust 45.4mm and is water-resistant to 50m. The case is crafted in rose gold and is presented on a black leather strap to finish the look. The no-fuss Derrick is equipped with the self-winding Calibre LM64, which comprises 248 components and beats at a frequency of 28,800vph, which can keep the watch ticking for at least 48 hours.
17. Dive Time: Doxa SUB 300 Carbon Aqua Lung US Divers Sharkhunter
Bridging the past and future, the new SUB 300 Carbon Aqua Lung Sharkhunter pushes the envelope and marks a first with a forged carbon case and black rubber strap. Born in 1966 and made available to the public a year later, the Doxa SUB 300 is among some of the most iconic pieces in the history of dive watches. It was the first truly 100-per cent purpose-designed, professional-grade diver’s watch available to the general public. This was followed by a series of acclaimed editions such as Black Lung, Silver Lung and Poseidon. And this year, the brand has partnered with Aqua Lung—an American company that manufactures diving and snorkelling equipment—to launch a limited series, of only 300 pieces, powered by a COSC-certified calibre. The watch measures 42.5mm and is topped with a unidirectional-rotating bezel, also executed in forged carbon. It features the US Navy no-decompression dive table with depth indication in yellow and the time graduation in white.
18. A Steampunk Spectacle—The Urwerk UR Satellite UR-105 CT Streamliner
When the past and the present beautifully meld into a seamless timepiece, what we are presented with is the Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner. Clearly art deco in its design code, with its octagonal case, this watch is reminiscent of subway trains and art deco-style buildings such as the Empire State, Chrysler and the Comcast buildings. “Vertical structure(s) that seem to go on forever,” is how Urwerk’s co-founder and chief designer Martin Frei describes the architecture of this piece. The catch on top of the case in titanium and mirror-polished steel can be slid, and the top of the case opens like the hood of a car, to reveal the inner mechanism of this steampunk-inspired watch—the UR 5.03 with the self-winding system, and the same satellite display that Urwerk is famous for. The caseback has two ‘turbines’, which can be used to govern the self-winding rate with the help of a lever. When the lever is turned to ‘stop’, it disengages the system and you can wind the watch the old-fashioned way—using the crown. Minimalist, singular, avant-garde, and with a personality that outshines the best of them, the UR-105 CT Streamliner takes the essence of art deco and catapults it into the future.
19. Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato Skeleton—The Sport Watch Crosses Over
Although the Laureato is Girard-Perregaux’s signature sports watch, this one is quite a departure from a standard Laureato’s appeal. While distinctive elements of the collection—an integrated case-and-bracelet structure, a octagonal bezel, brushed finishing, etc—are maintained here, the face of the watch is more edgy with its skeletonised display. Presenting fine detailing and finishing that meet haute horlogerie standards, and that Girard-Perregaux are known for, this watch almost seems like something out of their Bridges catalogue. These aspects make this a true crossover of genres, which somehow makes it even more versatile than a simple sports watch. In fact, the detailing and 18-karat rose gold of this timepiece might even make this a better companion for dressier attire. The resplendent movement within is the calibre GP01800-0006, which is treated using a galvanic process, anthracite grey ruthenium. Owing to the open-worked display and particularly to the rhodium-plated gear train, you can follow the moving parts as you end up at the running seconds sub-dial at 10 o’clock. This automatic calibre offers a power reserve of 54 hours, and is housed in a 42mm case, water resistant to about 100m.
20. Graham Chronofighter Emergency Gold: A Safe On Your Wrist
When it comes to subtlety in watchmaking, Graham sits at the other end of that scale with its bold militaristic watches. However, the Chronofighter’s vintage charm and era-appropriate design cues, paired with some very capable movements, often make its way onto many wrists. And that has pushed the brand to create watches that are unconventional and don’t take themselves so seriously, primarily meant for the brand’s long-standing patrons. The Emergency Gold is one such timepiece. Limited to just 50 examples, the watch is already a rarity. Add to that the 1g gold ingot embedded in the dial and the bezel-mounted instruction to ‘Break glass in case of emergency’ makes this watch a collector’s delight. The Swiss watch industry is often identified as being over-serious. However, it’s timepieces like these that brush off such beliefs. Powered by the G1747 chronograph calibre, the timepiece boasts a 48-hour power reserve. This movement is enclosed in a 44mm steel case, which is paired with Graham’s patented chronograph trigger system sitting on the left. Oh, and the watch is delivered with a tiny hammer for the aforementioned breaking you might do in an emergency.
21. Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 114: Jet-Setting Jamboree
There’s nothing else that caters better to the modern traveller than the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 114, which houses the fifth in-house movement from Oris released in 2018. The highlight of these watches is that they offer local time adjustment to the nearest half-hour, useful if you’re travelling to or from countries such as Australia (GMT+9.30) or even India (GMT+5.30). Considering most GMT watches cannot be adjusted for half-hour increments for the second time zone, these particular watches from Oris are exceptionally useful, particularly for us in India. These members of the ProPilot line share the same feature as others in the collection—the large crown, a vintage-style dial presenting Arabic numerals, and a bezel design inspired by jet turbines. The movement here is encased inside a durable 44mm stainless steel case, water resistant to 100m. The dial is available in black or anthracite. One’s options when it comes to straps range from stainless bracelets to an aviation enthusiast’s dream—a brown Louisiana alligator leather strap. Along with the second time zone indicator, this movement has a 10-day power reserve, displayed through a retrograde power reserve indicator.

22. The Distinguished Athletic-Leisure Watch: Baume & Mercier’s Clifton Club In Bronze
The sportier family of Baume & Mercier gets a distinguished look with an all new edition in bronze. Exemplifying one of the biggest trends of the year, these Clifton Club bronze watches come in four dial versions—black, brown, blue and green—with two strap options for each, in either calfskin or rubber. The comfortably-sized 42mm bronze case is water resistant to 100m, and houses a Swiss-made automatic movement that offers a 42-hour power reserve. There is also a date feature at three o’clock. With the hands and riveted applied indexes infused with Super-LumiNova, the dial, which has a recessed centre, displays the brand’s emblem proudly at 12 o’clock.

23. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface: Two-Faced In The Best Possible Way
At the beginning of the 1930s, the Reverso was born of a challenge—that of designing a model that could withstand the impact a wearer might experience during polo matches organised by British officers in India. Its dial could effortlessly be concealed by reversing the case, to reveal a back that fully protected the face from possible mallet strokes. Many decades have passed since then, and the world’s a different place now. However, standing the test of time is the classic design of the Reverso. That’s not to say the watch hasn’t evolved though. Take the Reverso Tribute Duoface for example. Instead of a stainless steel back, this watch flips onto a completely different time zone. It is an ingenious and elegant interpretation of the old classic. The main dial is a lovely sunray-brushed blue with applied hour markers and the small seconds counter at six o’clock. The reverse side is silvery coloured and decorated with Clous de Paris guilloche. There are two intersecting counters, the larger one for the hours and minutes, and a smaller one for the 24-hour day/night indicator. The watch measures 47mm by 28.3mm and the manual-winding movement that powers it can run up to 42 hours.
24. The High-Functioning Dress Watch—IWC’s Portugieser Perpetual Calendar
A bestselling collection from the Schaffhausen-based Swiss watch manufacturer, IWC’s Portugieser line presents elegant everyday watches, which are suitable for far more formal events as well. This one particularly makes the cut as a fine dress watch, owing to its 44.2mm rose gold construction, while it also offers enhanced functionality by way of its perpetual calendar complication. Displayed on the silver-plated dial are calendar features, including the date at three, the month at six, the day of the week at nine, and the year seen between seven and eight o’clock. Nine o’clock also has the small seconds, while the automatic calibre’s impressive seven-day power reserve is indicated at three o’clock, aptly with the date. And the moon phase display is seen at 12 o’clock. The hour markers match the feuille– or leaf-shaped hands, which are quite a signature element of the Portugieser line. Enhancing the visual of the recessed sub-dials and applied Arabic numerals is the sapphire crystal glass with arched edges. The case also comes with a sapphire crystal caseback and a dark brown alligator leather strap made by Santoni. The movement behind this high-functioning timepiese is the IWC-manufactured automatic calibre 52610, which offers a massive 168-hour or seven-day power reserve.
25. The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Bronze To Celebrate The Metal Du Jour
Powered by an accurate quartz movement, this watch is from the signature Aikon line of Maurice Lacroix, featuring the collection’s identifiable faceted case—built from bronze in this edition. An extremely popular alloy these days, bronze ages with time, which gives each watch a unique appearance, based on the weather conditions it is subjected to. Complementing the 44mm bronze case—water resistant to 100m—are the rose gold-plated hour indexes, hands, and the brand emblem on the textured blue dial, which matches the hue of the leather strap of this piece. The handsome timepiece features the date at three o’clock.

26. Carl F. Bucherer Heritage BiCompax Annual: A Modern Masterpiece In Retro Guise
Carl F. Bucherer takes you back to the good ol’ 50s with the launch of the Heritage Bicompax Annual. This is a watch with a delightful retro vibe albeit with modern technology, giving you the best of both worlds. The watch comes in two variants—a steel model with a panda dial and a two-tone rose gold model with a champagne dial. The new 41mm case is a serious step-up from its 34mm predecessor, which was launched in 1956. The Heritage BiCompax is powered by the CFB 1972 calibre, an automatic movement that boasts 42 hours of power and 47 jewels. What really impresses is the number of functions the makers have managed to pack in this piece—a date, month and an annual calendar function, along with a chronograph—without over-complicating the design and visual presentation.

27. The H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer Tourbillon—The Tourbillon With A Twist
Elegant minimalism meets sporty exuberance in this Pioneer Tourbillon timepiece. The Independent Swiss watchmakers have included the elite complication in the Pioneer collection, known for its fuller appearance as compared with H. Moser’s other fare. Even though the 42.8mm case is primarily in red gold, the DLC-treated titanium elements add to the sporty appeal. Meanwhile, the rubber strap makes this watch even suitable to wear casually. The tourbillon complication still gets the prominence it deserves—at six o clock on the gorgeous midnight blue fumé dial with applied hour markers and graceful leaf-shaped hands. Powering the watch is the automatic HMC 804 in-house calibre, which can run for at least three days when fully wound.
28. A Precious Icon: Grand Seiko Heritage
Established as a separate entity in 2017 after being in parent company, Seiko’s shadow since its inception in 1960; Grand Seiko offers some of the top-class mechanical watches that are available today. They were and still are highly coveted in watch circles, and earlier, one had to travel to Japan in order to buy one. But not anymore. Grand Seiko‘s offerings are now available in various markets under four collections: Masterpiece; Elegance; Heritage and Sport. The latest watches from Heritage collection are now equipped with an upgraded 9F85 calibre—a newer and more accurate option when compared to the previous 9F quartz calibre. The watches have a time difference adjustment function that allows the hour hand to be adjusted without stopping the seconds hand, thus preserving its accuracy when the wearer changes time zones. The 40mm stainless steel case with perfect mirror-finished surfaces is created using Zaratsu polishing to impart three-dimensionality to the watch. An enlarged glass size makes the bezel thinner to give a sharp and refined impression. The screwed-down caseback has a lion emblem and helps ensure water resistance up to 100m.
29. Corum Admiral 42 Bronze: A Brand Signature In Distinguished Form
With its distinct maritime markings and codes borrowed from vessels that navigate the high seas, the Corum Admiral’s Cup series has established itself among the most significant marine-inspired watches since its launch in 1960. The 12-sided bezel set it apart from the rest as it was easily distinguished due to the unique design. And the brand continues to innovate and expand this line with the introduction of bronze to its repertoire. Meet the new Admiral 42 Bronze, a trendy, sporty, and uber-chic timepiece that lets your wrist do the talking, once you decide to wear it. It features two new models—in navy blue and maritime green respectively—housed in bronze cases that pay homage to the beauty and strength of the brass material used in ships of yesteryears. The entire case, including the dodecagonal bezel, has been satin-brushed and the special bronze alloy has been fashioned in a manner that will allow it to age, obtaining a vintage patina over time. Faithful to the nautical roots of the Admiral collection, the model features the 12 pennant-shaped hour markers on the dial, which sit perfectly against the blue or the green façade. Powered by the CO 395 automatic movement visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the watch offers a power reserve of 42 hours. Matching leather straps in green and blue complement the look of the respective timepieces. Water resistant to 50m, the Admiral 42 Bronze is the perfect fit for all sailing enthusiasts.
30. A Reboot For The Future—The TAG Heuer Autavia
Launched in 2019, the TAG Heuer Autavia collection is a revival of a vintage collection that had only ever been created under the ‘Heuer’ name, even in re-editions of historic pieces. The name combines ‘auto’ and ‘aviation’, as its roots go back to the 1930s, when Heuer manufactured a dashboard clock that could be used in cars as well as airplanes. The 2019 revival placed Autavia among TAG Heuer’s contemporary mainstream pillars, informed by the richness of its past, but built to present an avant-garde appeal and a view of the future. These watches incorporate TAG Heuer’s ground-breaking Isograph technology—the use of weightless hairsprings made of a carbon compound, which eliminates the magnetic and gravitational impact on the calibre 5 chronometer-certified automatic movement, ensuring enhanced accuracy. Classic aviation watch elements include a large crown, and large Arabic numeral hour markers, which are thick Super-LumiNova blocks that give it a 3D look and enhance luminosity in the dark. The smoky, grained, gradient-brown dial and matching brown leather strap complement the 42mm bronze case, water resistant to 100m, and featuring a bidirectional-rotating bezel with a 60-minute timer scale on a brown ceramic insert. The caseback is in titanium, for hypoallergenic reasons probably, and features an Autavia propeller motif.
31. A Parmigiani Toric Hemisphères Rétrograde For All Your Travel Needs
Empowering its wearer with two independent time indications, the Parmigiani Toric Hemisphères Rétrograde is crafted with a bezel featuring alternating gadroons and knurling—an idiosyncratic style of watch design by Parmigiani Fleurier. Testament to the Swiss watchmaker’s exceptional craftsmanship is the delicate hand-guilloche slate dial with a retrograde analogue date display, day-night indicator, moon phase display, and small seconds sub-dial—housed in a 42.8mm rose gold case, water-resistant up to 30m. The Hermès alligator leather strap in brown completes the look. The recipient of the Travel Time Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2017, this opulent timepiece runs on the PF317 automatic movement, which yields a 50-hour power reserve.

32. Redefine Precision With Zenith’s Defy El Primero 21
This watch is meant for those who appreciate unparalleled horological precision and superlative craftsmanship. Zenith’s El Primero movement was first introduced to the world in 1969. Translating to ‘the first’ in Spanish, El Primero was the first integrated automatic chronograph movement to hit the market. The movement was able to measure timing with an unprecedented precision of 1/10th of a second, as it beat at a whopping 36,600vph or 5Hz. The 44mm Defy El Primero 21 is a reimagining of the El Primero movement in the 21st century, with masculine and bold looks to boot. This mind-bending chronograph is capable of measuring 1/100th of a second, thanks to the COSC-certified El Primero 9004 automatic calibre, which has a separate mainspring and balance wheel for the 1/100th-of-a-second timer. The timekeeping escapement beats at 36,000vph, while the second escapement, which powers the chronograph, vibrates at an astounding 50Hz or 3,60,000vph! This magnificent movement provides the wearer with a minimum power reserve of 50 hours.

33. The Elegant Movado 1881 Automatic: A Brand Signature
Movado’s story began in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1881, and their 1881 Automatic Series pays homage to that landmark year. This line blends the minimalism of the past with the modernism of the ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, beating at 28,000vph. Encased in stainless steel, Movado proudly showcases the magic happening inside through the clear caseback. The inner sunray-finished centre of the dial contrasts vividly with the sand-blasted ‘reflector ring’ near the periphery. The pride of place, though, is taken by the gold or silver dot at the twelve o’clock position. The superlative Swiss craftsmanship sets this series worlds apart from others in its class. The subtle date display at six o’clock adds a contemporary touch and underscores Movado’s less-is-more design philosophy.

34. Breitling Aviator 8 Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Chronograph: A Fitting Tribute To An Icon
Dedicated to the eponymous American aircraft that was crucial in the Allied forces gaining victory in World War II, this Breitling Aviator 8 watch pays homage to the resilience of war-time heroes. The 43mm chronograph features a distinctly retro military and rugged look—with its matte green dial with red and white accents, and large Arabic numerals. There is also a date and day function visible at three o’clock. The caseback of this watch is not to be ignored—there is a printed image of the warplane, with its ‘Flying Tigers’ shark imagery, and the historical Curtiss logo, which will be appreciated by history aficionados. Powering this watch is the Breitling Calibre 13, a self-winding COSC-certified chronometer movement, offering a power reserve of 48 hours—reminding us that the timepiece doesn’t just have military looks but boasts military precision as well. Fashioned with an olive canvas strap, the Aviator 8 Curtiss P-40 Warhawk Chronograph serves as the perfect choice for enthusiasts who would truly appreciate a piece of aviation and wartime history.

35. The Raymond Weil Maestro Skeleton—To Flaunt ‘Inner Beauty’
A newer member of Raymond Weil’s Maestro collection, this skeleton watch features a wide aperture on the sapphire crystal-covered dial so that one can appreciate its intricate Swiss-made inner workings. Set in a stainless steel case, water resistant to 50m, the 39.5mm watch comes with bright blue hands and indexes that truly impress. Priced a tad lower than most premium skeleton watches in the market, it is powered by the RW4215 calibre, offering a 38-hour power reserve. A stainless steel bracelet or a black leather strap completes the refined look of this coveted timepiece.

36. H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Perpetual Calendar—The Complication’s Sleekest Interpretation
Pared-down designs and focusing only on the absolute essentials have been key aspects of H. Moser & Cie.’s watchmaking approach. This interpretation of the perpetual calendar complication is perhaps the best representative of that. The timepiece features a clear dial—quite uncharacteristic of the complication—sticking with only the date at three, small seconds at six and power reserve display at nine o’clock. The central hour and minute hands are accompanied by a stunted third hand that indicates the month by pointing to the lean hour indexes, which also serve as month markers. This is probably the most ingenious display on this watch. The timepiece also features a leap year indicator, but that can be seen on the back, through the transparent caseback, which also reveals the manual-winding HMC 341 calibre, which can run for a whopping seven days when fully wound. The watch comes in a 40.8mm case in 18-karat rose gold, with the dial in grey fumé, complemented by a brown alligator leather strap. The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar is also available in a ‘Concept’ version, which is H. Moser’s most minimalistic rendition of their standard collections, with nothing on the dial except for hands (and the date window in this case)—not even the brand emblem. The Concept edition comes in white gold with a midnight blue fumé dial and the strap in black.

37. Arnold & Son DBG Skeleton Dual-Time—Now Open For Business
Credited with being the master of precision and creating the most accurate marine chronometers during the 18th century, English watchmaker John Arnold revolutionised the art of horology. The brand also takes its cues from his creative genius and has been consistently rolling out complications that are the talk of collectors’ circles. The typical Arnold & Son timepiece is instantly recognisable with its three-dimensional movement construction that includes: cantilever balance-cocks, the George-V-style bridges, the constant quest for multiaxial symmetry and the painstakingly crafted guilloche dials that adorn the open-worked components. With the DBG Skeleton Dual-Time, Arnold & Son has not lost the focus on symmetry, and has gone a step further by creating two entirely separate time displays. Developed, designed and manufactured entirely at La Joux-Perret manufacture—Arnold & Son’s parent company—the movement had to be redesigned and re-engineered to produce this skeleton version. An acronym for ‘double balance’ and ‘GMT’, the ‘DBG’ Skeleton, which is a part of the Instrument Collection, harks back to the chronometers built by John Arnold and his son—the 18th century watchmakers whom the brand takes after. With an open-worked execution, the DBG Skeleton showcases Arnold & Son’s watchmaking prowess as well as attention to aesthetics with the newly developed manufacture A&S1309 calibre, which has been conceived, designed and manufactured entirely in-house. It beats at a frequency of 21,600vph to provide a power reserve of 40 hours when fully wound, thanks to its double barrel system. This 44mm complication in rose gold can set the minute hand independently when keeping track of time zones. A sub-dial at 12 o’clock displays the two time zones on a 24-hour disc, thereby allowing the wearer to not only see the time difference between the two zones but also keep track of day and night in both.
38. The Junghans Meister Telemeter Chronoscope: Old-World Charm Meets New-Age Sass
Those with an eye for vintage style are sure to be bowled over by the Junghans Meister Telemeter Chronoscope. An ETA 2892 with a Dubois Depraz 2030 chronograph module, the J880.3 hand-winding calibre within this watch features 45 jewels, and runs at a frequency of 28,800vph, offing a 40-hour power reserve. This German-made chronograph watch shows off a two-register design, parchment luminescence, a brushed steel dial and red telemeter indexes. It is mounted onto a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp. Measuring 40.8mm in diameter, it is quite decently sized for a modern chronograph.
39. A Special Oris Signature: The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bronze
From the Oris’ aviation pillar of products, this Big Crown watch celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Pointer Date complication from the Holstein-based Swiss watchmaker, with an exquisite bronze edition with a green dial. A year later, they came out with an all-bronze edition, with the dial itself made of bronze. Exemplifying the brand’s principle of only making mechanical watches that are useful in a practical sense, the Pointer Date is an analogue date indication, displayed via a central hand with a red pointer. In this special edition, the date can be seen on the edge of the dial, set within the 40mm bronze case, water resistant to about 50m. The hottest combination in watches these days—bronze and green—is enhanced by a soft and comfortable leather strap in brown. For a more monochromatic look, opt for the equally resplendent bronze dial edition. Housed within each version is an automatic calibre that delivers a power reserve of 38 hours and can be seen through the transparent caseback, along with its signature Oris red winding rotor.

40. Beautiful In Bronze: The MeisterSinger Bronze Line
This German brand has always enjoyed an immense reputation for its unusual single-hand watches, and this year, they have expanded their offering with the new Bronze Line. Following the success of last year’s Black Line, this Bronze Line offers bronze variants of MeisterSinger’s No03, Metris, and Perigraph watches. One of the most recognisable models, the No03 uses a 43mm case and is water resistant up to 50m—quite like the Perigraph iteration in the Bronze Line. The Perigraph complies with the brand principle of clear circular arrangement, wherein the date is not displayed through a window, but on the open date disc, at 12 o’clock, which is likely to remind you of classical analogue instruments. Like the No03, the Perigraph also features a sapphire crystal caseback. The Metris is smaller than the former two, sized at 38mm, but when it comes to water resistance, the Metris offers the best performance—up to 200m. All three Bronze Line timepieces are powered by the Swiss-made automatic ETA 2824-2 calibre which offers a, 38-hour power reserve. Watch aficionados are sure to be left spellbound by the sharp and fascinating contrast between the dark dials and the teal patina that the bronze of the cases will eventually develop.
41. The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer: A Sporty Model In An Attractive Package
At first glance, it’s clear that the Venturer is a more robust and rugged alternative to the Aikon. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that the Venturer makes its own mark in the horological world. The watch utilises a 43mm satin-finished stainless steel case, with its iconic clawed bezel surrounding a flat sapphire crystal, along with a curving lug design for comfort. There are two variants to choose from—both equally exquisite. The sunburst-finished dial, with a date complication sitting at three o’clock, is available either in black or blue. The watches employ the self-winding ML 115 calibre, which vibrates at 28,800vph, giving them a power reserve of 38 hours. The timepieces offer a water resistance of a whopping 300m. The timepieces—featuring the ‘EasyChange’ system that enables one to change the strap quickly—are shipped with both a supple rubber strap (in black or blue, matching the dial and bezel) and a five-row stainless bracelet with a folding clasp.

42. The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 44mm—A True Timekeeping Icon
The Diver 300M Co-axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 44mm comes from a scion of legends that occupy a prominent place in watchmaking history. The generously-sized steel case is accompanied by a Sedna gold (Omega’s proprietary gold alloy) unidirectional-rotating bezel, which offers contrast against the black rubber strap and black dial. Brimming with impressive features, the dial is decorated with laser-engraved waves, a date window at six o’clock with white Super-LumiNova-enhanced skeleton hands and indexes. The chronograph sub-dials sit at three and nine o’clock. Water-resistant up to 300m, this Omega Seamaster is perfect for the tumultuous seas, while it is powered by the self-winding calibre 9900, which can be seen through the sapphire crystal on the wave-edged caseback. This is a self-winding chronograph movement with a 60-hour power reserve. The ‘Master Chronometer’ certification that this watch comes with means that it has been tested after the movement within was already a COSC-certified chronometer movement. It was awarded this distinction only after successfully passing eight stringent tests for accuracy, anti-magnetism, and so on.

43. Parmigiani Tonda Métrographe Rose Gold: Functionality Meets Finesse
The general horological populace has come to see chronographs as rugged, tough-looking timepieces that look meaty on the wrist. Yet, here’s a chronograph that boasts a sleek design, a clean dial, and an air of delicacy that goes against the grain. With a 40mm rose gold case, boasting a thickness of only 11.7mm, the Tonda Métrographe has a deep blue dial that looks wonderful against the rose gold case. On the dial, one can see running seconds at three o’clock, the 12-hour counter at six, and the 30-minute counter at nine. The Parmigiani Fleurier logo right below the date aperture (with only odd-numbered dates) at 12 o’clock balances the aesthetic of the three sub-dials beautifully. Powering this watch is the PF315 automatic chronograph movement. The suave indigo blue alligator leather Hermès strap enhances this timepiece’s formal appeal. The Tonda Métrographe, thus, appeals to the refined gentleman who wants utility encased in a winsome package.

44. The Fantastic Baumatic From Baume & Mercier’s Clifton Collection
A major achievement from the house of Baume & Mercier, the Baumatic series propels the Swiss watchmaking maison into the league of manufactures that exemplify innovation through their own in-house movements. Developed in collaboration with Richemont Research & Innovation of the Richemont Group that Baume & Mercier is a part of, the Baumatic BM12-1975A calibre is an extremely efficient movement that offers a tremendous five-day power reserve. Moreover, this automatic movement—visible through the transparent caseback—is chronometer-certified by the COSC. These performance details are highlighted on the dial, with its crosshairs motif. This latest edition of the Baumatic with a blue dial comes in a 40mm steel case, paired with a black leather strap or a steel bracelet.

45. Make Heads Turn With The Raymond Weil Freelancer RW1212
The new Freelancer RW1212 has made a mark in the contemporary horological landscape, with a bold and distinctive design featuring an open-heart dial. The sophisticated movement within features an intricate perlage finish. Framed by a 42.5mm steel case, this watch manifests a high aesthetic value with the movement’s assembly. You can choose from many different executions. Presented here is a two-tone rose gold version, and the classic stainless steel version, both available with exquisite black dials.
46. The Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback For Advancement In Chronograph Functionality
The Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback runs on the in-house calibre CFB 1970 that has been developed over years to offer a superior flyback functionality of the chronograph complication. The Lucerne-based watchmaker presents a gamut of visually appealing variations available in silver, black, champagne, or grey, with triangular applied indexes in gold or stainless steel, with a stainless steel or 18-carat rose gold case, measuring 43mm. The streamlined design shines through via the concentric circles etched on the sub-dials and a black-on-white date display is seen through an aperture at six o’clock. Featuring an oscillating mass that is decorated with the Côtes de Genève pattern, the view through the caseback is an out-and-out feast for the eyes.

47. Dive Into The Deep With The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon
The powerful looks of the new Aquaracer Carbon trio truly command attention. Courtesy a 41mm case in high-tech grade-5 titanium with black PVD, the watches are lightweight, but not without substance. Their dodecagonal-edged bezels are made from carbon and black PVD-treated steel. What makes these timepieces unique is the fact that during the manufacturing process, the bezel is subjected to high temperatures, while carbon fibre is injected into the resin. This creates a pattern that is unique to every piece. Available with accents in three colour options—yellow, blue and rose gold—each one has a distinctive appeal. The timepieces boast a water resistance of 300m, and their hands and markers are infused with grey Super-LumiNova. There is also a magnifying lens over the date window at three o’clock, making it easier to read. Equipped with TAG Heuer’s automatic calibre 5, the watches pack in a power reserve of 38 hours. All three models are available with a textile strap, each fitted with a titanium buckle and a diver’s extension.

48. Panerai Luminor GMT Dhoni Edition: Crazy About Cricket
To the delight of cricket fans across the country, in 2018, Panerai announced that star cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who captained the Indian national team from 2007 to 2016, would be Panerai’s brand ambassador in India. In 2019, Panerai honoured the association by releasing a new reference dedicated to the icon—the Luminor GMT 44mm. The engraving on the steel caseback is truly the highlight of this timepiece, as it depicts the player performing his signature move and the outline of the Indian peninsula. What is also engraved is the number ‘183’, which represents Dhoni’s career-best score in one-day international cricket, when he batted against Sri Lanka. The watch has a 44mm stainless steel cushion-shaped case that all Luminor models sport, with its iconic crown protector. The dial is coloured military green—which is MS Dhoni’s favourite colour. As is clear from the name, apart from the hours, minutes, the small seconds sub-dial (at nine o’clock) and date function (at three o’clock), this watch also provides the wearer with a GMT function. Powering this watch is the P.9010/GMT automatic movement, which offers a power reserve of three days. Attached is a formal black alligator leather strap, with military green stitching, to complement the dial.

49. Doxa SUB 300T Professional—Take The Plunge
Considered to be the first truly purpose-driven diver’s watch that was accessible to the general public in 1967, the offerings from Doxa have garnered quite the cult following among serious divers and adventure sports lovers. The path-breaking innovations such as the distinct orange dial, which greatly improved legibility underwater and the increased water resistance of 300m, made this a reliable instrument for professionals as well. It was also the first to feature a unidirectional bezel with a dual scale for depth and dive time to calculate a safe ascent without decompression stops. The new version of the Doxa SUB 300T Professional pays tribute to its ancestor, albeit with a few tweaks. It is topped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an antireflective treatment. All dive-related markings feature a Super-LumiNova luminescent coating to ensure excellent readability in low-visibility conditions. The generous 42.5mm case is forged in stainless steel and houses the self-winding COSC-certified, highly accurate movement
50. Zenith Pilot Type 20 Blueprint—The Secret Is Out
When a brand delves into its history, it’s usually to pick up a few design cues, some colourways, or to resurrect some long-forgotten collection. Zenith, however, took a different approach and is now sharing with the world the production plans that go into making the dial; something that is usually never shared. Within the 45mm steel case, the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Blueprint features a unique double-layered dial. The base layer is the dial itself in matte blue with all technical plans and notes used by the dial-maker and above it the sapphire crystal glass, with the usual markers and logo. This smart construction allows for a captivating visual effect that is sure to be a conversation starter. Beating within is the Elite 679—a time-only movement with a 50-hour power reserve. The Zenith Pilot Type 20 Blueprint is limited to 250 pieces.

Ciao a tutti vengo dall’italia / itawero
Nice
Bought myself a Rolex Datejust and Oris Carl Brashear – the 2nd edition, both online @ great offered prices. Easy transaction, smooth purchase thanks to Sandeep, Sunny and Vikas Thakur @ Ethos team. Looking forward to future transactions.
My budget is of Rs. 25000. Pl. suggest good branded watch for me.

However, you should know that you can probably consider going a little higher in price, with the final offer still being within your budget.

My budget is of 25000. Pl. suggest good wrist watch to me.
I had interest in pre owned watch Mont Blanc brand and telephoned to the concerned staff in your Delhi Office, I was told that due to heavy rush across the counter it was not possible to attend my call and I was told that after being free from the counter I shall be called back, it is now more than a fortnight but I have not received any call.
Hi I had picked my rado from inorbit mall at malad, mumbai. I also liked a tag heuer which was arranged from Hyderabad store. I got very good deals the person who handled me was jitendra nachnani from ethos store in inorbit mall in malad. His salesmanship was excellent.
