Our Best Watches of October 2025
Oris x Cervo Volante Big Crown Pointer Date
This 40mm collaboration between Oris and Cervo Volante beautifully blends craftsmanship, sustainability, and heritage design. The “burnt sunset” orange gradient dial instantly catches the eye, while the rich mahogany-brown deer-leather strap — ethically sourced and handcrafted by Cervo Volante — adds a touch of natural elegance. The stainless steel case is topped with a domed sapphire crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating, ensuring clarity and durability in any light. Flip it over, and you’ll find a sapphire exhibition case back showcasing the automatic Calibre 754-1 movement, a reliable workhorse with a 41-hour power reserve. With 50 metres of water resistance and Oris’s signature pointer-date complication, this watch perfectly balances timeless style with modern responsibility. Beautiful, functional, and thoughtfully made — what’s not to love?
Bear Grylls Survival Land 3710 Series
Part of the “Bear Grylls Survival Land” series, this watch is built for endurance and adventure. Its 43mm case, crafted from ALUMI-NOX — an aerospace-grade aluminium — is both lightweight and corrosion-resistant, perfect for rugged conditions. The sand-blasted beige dial adds a tactical touch, featuring bold Arabic numerals and a date window at 3 o’clock. On the back, the engraved motto “Never Give Up” pays tribute to the collaboration with Bear Grylls. Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz Ronda 515 movement, it also includes Luminox Light Technology for constant visibility, even in low light. With 100 metres of water resistance, this timepiece blends durability, clarity, and survival-inspired design — making it ideal for outdoor explorers and everyday adventurers alike.
Squale Matic S Automatic
The Squale Matic S combines professional dive-watch performance with refined, everyday style. Its 39 mm 316L steel case and slim profile — achieved through a reduced domed sapphire crystal — give it a sleek yet robust presence. Despite its elegance, it’s built for depth, boasting an impressive 600 metre water-resistance rating. Inside, the automatic Sellita SW200-1 (Elaboré grade) movement provides reliable precision and a 42-hour power reserve. The sunray black dial, applied indices with Super-LumiNova C1, and the repositioned crown at 3 o’clock balance heritage design with modern comfort. Paired with a black and orange HydroLeather strap — rubber-based with a water-repellent leather inlay — it’s a versatile choice. From the boardroom to the beach, the Matic S transitions effortlessly through every setting.
Maurice Lacroix Aikon Quartz Wotto Limited Edition
This limited-edition watch blends urban culture, artistic flair, and Swiss precision in a bold collaboration with artist Wotto (Craig Watkins). The charcoal grey dial features Wotto’s signature skulls, ghosts, and fantastical figures, brought to life with a matte black faceted hour hand and ghost-shaped minute hand—both with white Super-Luminova—and a vivid pink serpentine second hand. Reimagining the date display, Wotto replaced the traditional numerals with 31 unique characters that animate the passage of time. A 40mm gunmetal PVD stainless steel case with a six-claw bezel frames the artful dial, while the reliable quartz Ronda 515 calibre powers it all. Finished with a black rubber strap and bright pink loops, this watch is a striking fusion of creativity and craftsmanship.
Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver Chronograph
This bold diver’s chronograph blends sporty style with everyday practicality. Powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive solar system, it never needs a battery and can run for months on a single charge. The stainless steel case and bracelet add strength and presence, with a 44.5 mm diameter and 14 mm thickness, giving it a confident look on the wrist. Its blue dial and bezel, paired with luminous hands and indices, highlight its true diving spirit. A unidirectional bezel, 200 metres of water resistance, and full ISO compliance make it ready for the depths. With a 1/5-second chronograph (up to 60 minutes), date display, and screw-down crown, it’s a tough, reliable companion — both underwater and on land.
Seiko Digital Quartz Multifunction ‘Rotocall’
This reimagined Seiko digital quartz watch pays tribute to the brand’s iconic 1980s “Rotocall” models. Compact and comfortable, it’s housed in a 37 mm stainless-steel case just 10.6 mm thick. Instead of traditional push-buttons, it features a unique bidirectional rotating bezel — a clever nod to the original Rotocall design. Inside, the calibre A824 digital quartz movement powers a full range of functions; dual time and a stopwatch are but to name a few . It’s also water-resistant to 100 metres and protected by Seiko’s durable Hardlex crystal. Blending retro charm with modern technology, this Seiko offers both nostalgic appeal and everyday practicality.
Mondaine Essence Mocha Limited Edition
The Mondaine Essence Mocha Limited Edition beautifully balances minimalist Swiss design with modern, sustainable thinking. Its 41 mm case, crafted from a renewable castor-oil-based material, feels light yet durable. The rich “Mocha Mousse” dial — Pantone’s colour of the year — adds warmth. While crisp white hands and Mondaine’s signature red seconds hand ensure perfect readability. A brown vegan grape-leather strap with a quick-change system completes the look, highlighting the brand’s eco-friendly approach. Limited to just 300 pieces worldwide, this watch blends timeless style, sustainability, and exclusivity; it’s an ideal choice for both collectors and design lovers alike.
