Aviator Watches


In earlier days pilots used to wear repurposed field watches because they had to be accurate, readable under low light conditions. Field watches with hand wound movements, black dials with big white numerals satisfied both the requirements. Over time, air forces around the World developed watches with specific aviation functions.  In the 1930s, the Luftwaffe developed Flieger style of watches. Type A watches with simple numerals and delta index at 12 o’clock and types B with large minutes in outer dial and hours in the inner dial.


Racing Watch Essentials

Two features define a good race watch and that is a chronograph and tachymeter. The chronograph is a watch with separate stopwatch function, featuring an extra sub-dial, pushers. Tachymeter is a bezel type used to calculate time and distance calculations.



Dive Watches

This type of watches is one of the most prolific men’s watch styles. It is obvious that accurate
timekeeping is crucial when hundreds of feet underwater while carrying finite air supply. So divers always demanded superior timepieces.
What makes a good dive watch?
In addition to accuracy, dive watch must need to possess water resistance. Series of tests ensure resistance to 100 meters that offer greater resistance. Also, case and band material must be corrosion resistant, therefore, stainless steel, titanium, silicone and rubber are often used. Bands are longer than usual to fit the dive equipment. Sapphire is desired to watch crystal material but divers prefer hardened mineral glass. It is more resistant to breakage that can be catastrophic under deep water.

Racing Watches

Racing watches tend to be much flashier. You have more exotic colour and style options while selecting a racing watch. Remember, as flashier the watches, the more casual it becomes and dresses accordingly.


Dress Watches


The sole function of the dress watch is to complement a business suit or formal wears. A dress watch should be proportioned to the wearer’s wrist. It draws attention to itself. A dress watch must be thin to slip in and out of a dress shirt cuff. One of the most important detail for a dress watch is simplicity. Most dress watches have no complications. Dial and bezel should be unornamented or patterned at most. White, black, metallic faces are preferred.
Hope, you got an idea on watch selection. So, from next time onwards hope you can opt the best watch that suits you.
