Finding a new luxury watch will be a priority for a lot of men in 2022 and if you find yourself in this position with up to £2k to spend on said timepiece, you’re going to want to check out our pick of 10 of the best men’s watches for under £2k below:
Farer Cobb Monopusher | £1750
Inspired by the original Cobb Chronograph, this Monopusher design arrives with an abundant use of colour and impeccable attention to dial construction. Below the central orange chronograph hand, the silver/blue ‘torchlight’ sunray creates a dramatic circular spread of light across the dial. Boldly slicing into the dial sit the oversized twin sub-dials in off-white.
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver’s Watch | $1695
The Super Sea Wolf dive watch inspired by original designs from the 1970s. It boasts a 100% Swiss construction and it is powered by Swiss-made STP 3-13 caliber automatic movement with 26 jewels. It has a 44 hour power reserve and an engraved caseback includes a Zodiac branded design.
Botta Clavius Automatic | $1625
The Clavius Automatic Watch is BOTTA’s most far-out design to date. Though known for their one-handed timepieces, when they approach a classic three-hander, if you can call this that, BOTTA does so with a totally innovative approach. Space-aged and contemporary, the Clavius combines seemingly floating hands with a printed crystal creating the optical illusion of jumping seconds.
AVI-8 Black Arrows Watch | £365
The Black Arrows Watch from AVI-8 pays tribute to the RAF’s No. 111 Sqn, the Black Arrows. They wowed the aviation world in 1958 by looping 22 Hawker Hunters in formation, an incredible world record that still stands to this day. A 44mm robustly manufactured steel case is topped by a domed sapphire lens with anti-reflective coating. The bezel and crown have been machined with a turbine inspired design.
Shinola Monster Automatic | $1295
The Midnight Blue Monster Automatic from Shinola, with a glossy blue dial, is reminiscent of the deep blue hue of the Great Lakes at midnight. It has a screw-down crown, dive timer bezel, and water-resistant up to 1,000 feet and it is powered by Swiss-made automatic movement that winds itself with the motion of your wrist.
Seaholm Rover Field Watch | $1895
The Rover Field Watch from Seaholm is water-resistant, shock-resistant and anti-magnetic, making it a field watch of the highest calibre. It has a brushed metal dial with luminous hands, numbers and indices and Seaholm watches undergo thermal shock and saltwater corrosion testing to ensure no condensation is found in our watches.
MTM Air Stryk I | $1170
The MTM Grey Air Stryk I is a reliable, rugged wrist watch that is crafted especially for men. Two LCD displays show off many of the watches features: chronograph mode, up to 5-daily/scheduled alarms, 58 presets + My City (user-defined), and more. Its solid stainless case and sapphire crystal glass is more than capable of reaching depths up to 660 feet/200 metres. Last but not least, the luminous hands offer easy readability at night.
Werenbach RAW III Superlative Watch | $1700
A limited series of just 60 pieces dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the first space flight, the RAW III is a mighty exclusive timepiece. The watch comes with a special certificate, special packaging and with an astronaut key ring. The material for the dial comes from the Soyuz MS-09 rocket mission to space.
Seiko Prospex Arnie Watch | $550
This is a contemporary interpretation of the 1982 Hybrid Diver’s Watch and it is water-resistant to 200 meters (660 feet), following ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving. Seiko’s reissue, the Prospex “Arnie” Watch keeps all the style, doubles down on the toughness, and updates the tech with solar charging. This won’t let you down when it’s time to get to the choppa.
Vero Open Water Watch | $875
Vero’s new Open Water series of dive watches are purpose built to be your go-to watch for adventure, whether you’re in or out of the water. The Open Water is a re-launch of sorts for Portland-based Vero Watches, better aligning the brand with their owner’s passions — swimming, hiking, and appreciation of the outdoors. The dive watch form factor with its chunky rotating bezel makes an excellent base for a watch to wear during activity.
