Top 5 Men’s Designer Watches
U-Boat
The origins of this unique brand date back to 1942 when Ivo Fontana received a commission from the Italian navy to create new watches for their navy pilots. Unfortunately the commission was never completed, however, in 2000 Ivo Fontana’s grandson found the designs he had created 60 years ago and they became his inspiration to make his first U-Boat watch.
U-Boat Doppiotempo Auto SS
This watch is not only elite in style but in it’s function, its main feature being that the wearer can read two different time zones at the same time. It is water resistant up to 100 meters and protected by a thick layer of sapphire glass. This timepiece is well designed and full of character showing off a colour combination of black, silver and a subtle ruby red on the dial. This model is an automatic mechanical watch which is powered by the movement of the wearers wrist. U-Boat are a sophisticated watch brand which were built to last.
Tissot
Tissot are a historic watch brand which have been around since 1853. They have evolved on a large scale since they began and are now sold in over 160 countries. This brand began it’s journey in Switzerland and after their first collections arose began selling in the united states as well as the Russian Empire.
Tissot Everytime Swissmatic Automatic Black Leather Strap
We selected this watch as it emulates the brands style and history. It has a vintage charm and style which is highly sophisticated. If this was in your watch collection it would be the watch you wore to special occasions as it styles as a dress watch. Dress watches are usually worn with a suit either white or black as they are black and white themselves. Dress watches have little or no complications as it is the style of the watch that is sought after rather than the function.
Oris
Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christain Switzerland. Oris began creating and designing wrist watches in 1925 when the brand began to grow to how we know it to be today. In 1945 Oris won their first award for their accuracy which is an iconic feature of their watches today.

Sinn
Sinn was founded in 1961 by a former World War II pilot, Heimut Sinn. This brand was based in Frankfurt and the core of their watch craftsman ship was creating navigation watches as well as pilot watches. Sinn’s watches have been involved in many out of space missions dating back to 1985, proving the sophistication in their craft and design.
Sinn 104 St Sa I W Classic Pilot Watch Stainless Steel Strap
This Sinn timepiece includes some of the major features of a pilot watch, mainly the white dial and luminous hands and markers. The reason luminous hands and markers are essential on a pilot watch is actually due to the history of pilot watches when pilots needed to be able to see in the dark. This watch comes with other complications such as date and day display which is bold and easily readable.
