Limited Edition Watches
One doesn’t have to be intimately familiar with the state of today’s watch market to know that there are a good deal of timepieces on both ends of the spectrum that don’t actually offer a whole lot of value. The trick, of course, is distinguishing between watches that lean maybe a little too much on their recognizable brand name and a lofty price tag, and those that stand out purely on merit.
We did the heavy lifting for you and found Watches that pack the most value at five different price points. Each of these picks offers more watch, dollar-for-dollar, than most all of its peers. So whether you are looking to make your next step in watch collecting really count, or you’re just dipping a toe into the world of mechanical wrist watches, this list of best value watches should prove a solid guide.
Swatch YIS40G I?rony Sistem 51
For those looking for a Limited Edition Watches affordable everyday, this option from Swatch is worth considering. Νot only does it come with a steel bracelet, but it features a transparent case back that shows off a Swiss automatic movement with date function. Those qualities, paired with a cool blue sunray dial, make this a incredibly attractive pick for the price.
Seiko SΚX007Κ2 Dive Watch
Affordable Mechanical Dive Watches are hard to come by — especially when you’re looking for one under $200. That is why this classic reference from Seiko is such a gem. I?t features a easily legible black dial with luminescent indices, a day-date window, and a unidirectional bezel that sits atop a Hardlex crystal. And to top it off, the Limited Edition Watches 2018 features a jubilee bracelet that’s just as handsome out of the water as it is beneath the waves.
Orient Sun and Moon Version 3
Complicated Limited Edition Luxury Watches for less than several thousand dollars are often few and far between. While the look of the Sun and Moon is striking enough with its Roman numerals, calfskin leather strap, and sizable case, it’s made all the more impressive by the fact that the complications are all driven by the Japanese brand’s own in-house, automatic-winding movement.
Apple Watch Series 4
Some Limited Edition Apple Watch lovers don’t like to think of anything that has the word “smart” used as a prefix in its title as a “true watch.” Wherever one falls on that argument, it’s hard not to consider this newest release from Cupertino when it comes to bang-for-buck. For a little less than $500, this watch does more than just keep the time; it tracks your fitness, connects you with work and family, and even takes and receives calls. “True watch” or not, that’s impressive.
Hamilton Κhaki Field Mechanical
The value a watch offers isn’t tied only to its functionality. I?n fact, a good deal of what a great watch offers is a story or a piece of history. Take this watch from Hamilton for instance. I?nspired in large part by watches that Hamilton produced for the U.S. military during Vietnam, it has a throwback martial look to it that pairs really well with a modern wardrobe. All things said, the watch is a damn near perfect for daily wear.
