Available in either pink gold or platinum, both editions have movements which feature seven specific patents. Utilising a time bridge which stretches across the centre of the dial, space has been reserved for the power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and a seconds sub dial based at 6 o’clock. 

The L043.6 movement provides a weekend-proof 72 hour power reserve due to its patented barrel design and complimenting two mainsprings. This allows for a sublime 4,320 minute jumps between the three discs which relate to the hours on the left and the minutes on the right in bold numerals.

Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon Rock’n’Roll

 

As Oasis once proclaimed ‘Tonight, I’m a rock’n’roll star’. I think Richard Mille might have heard this song before…

Source - Richard Mille

 

The Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon Rock’n’Roll follows the iconic devil horned fingers as its major endorsement. The symbol of unity and togetherness symbolised in this hot number by the legendary hand gesture, it is a true masterpiece fusing popular culture and horology.

Emblazoning a 5N red gold devil fingers symbol, which had undergone extensive, hand finished work from engraver Olivier Vaucher, the hand is locked into a grade 5 titanium tonneau shaped case. 

We didn't expect much else from Richard Mille. After all, this is the brand that worked with Rafael Nadal to test the extremities of their timepiece, the RM 027. By tracking him on the court using the latest high tech sensors, they were able to establish the level of force he produced, and release a timepiece that could cope with it. Richard Mille has quite a number of pieces that are the best watches for men!

The case features “Clous de Paris” in a stunning effect against the Carbon TPT and titanium construction. Overall, it's another fabulous layer woven into Richard Mille’s revolutionary watchmaking tapestry. 

 

Fun Fact About The Richard Mille RM 66 Flying Tourbillon Rock’n’Roll

It took around 9 months just to develop the case. Time is money well spent.

Measuring 43mm, the timepiece follows a panda dial style with a creamy white background to contrast with the solid black sub dials. Complemented with a red inner slide rule bezel, as is a staple of a Breitling Navitimer, the dial's outer ring is given a light blue hue on some of the lettering. 

 

Showcasing the AOPA logo below 12 o’clock, in reference to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, this is the largest aviation club in the world. The Breitling Navitimer Boeing 747 is the ultimate ode to pilot pieces and its true aviation spirit. There’s nothing better for an aviation piece, allowing this to be one of the best watches for men in 2023.

TAG Heuer Carrera Pink Dial 

 

The Carrera collection is notorious for its speed freaks. How about a little bit of class and luxury refinery too in order to hammer home a win for the best watches for men in 2023?

At 36mm, the TAG Heuer Carrera Pink Dial features a very attractive pink toned dial with subtle lugs that connect to the case seamlessly. Crafted out of stainless steel, it still has its sporty edge but the steely hands and indices ensure that the refinement of the piece isn't lost. 

Given the current climate of the raging cinematic war between Oppenheimer and Barbie (Barbenheimer I think they call it!) as the highest grossing films in years, we are not picking any sides! Flexed by Ryan Gosling at the official Barbie premiere, keep an eye out for the Barbie movie where Gosling’s Ken sports three vintage gold Carreras at the same time.

Given a sapphire caseback to ensure a perfect view into the movement 7 movement, the timepiece enjoys a strong power reserve of 56 hours which is nothing too bad to talk about as one of the best watches for men in 2023.

Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley

 

Now what did Bobby McFerrin say..ah yes. Don’t worry, be happy. And you’ll no doubt be feeling chirpy and optimistic with the Richard Mille RM 88 Automatic Winding Tourbillon Smiley.

Taking a stonking three years to develop, the timepiece features a slew of highly obscure objects within the dial. From a pink flamingo to a beach ball, do not be misled for a second and think it's cheap tat. Each object is a gold micro sculpture that required the precise detail of legendary engraver Olivier Kuhn.

Of course, the timepiece is kept exceptionally thin, meaning the timepiece, the movement and the artwork within must be held to a highly exceptional standard. This includes micro-blasting the yellow gold smiley figure, as well as using hand-applied varnishes to add faint reflections. Need we mention the clever use of contrasting anthracite coloured rhodium plating?

The case is ATZ ceramic and the timepiece itself is limited to 50 pieces meaning not only is it one of the best watches for men in 2023, but it’s a rare one too.

Zenith Defy Extreme Glacier 

 

Has the air gotten a little colder in here? Get out of the frost for a minute. You do know we are the hottest authority when it comes to the best watches for men and why we are the best source for finding the best watches for men in 2023.

At 45mm and crafted out of titanium, although the Zenith Defy Extreme Glacier is as cold as ice it is bolstered by the unusual usage of chalcedony on the bezel and protective pushers. 

Chalcedony is cut and hand polished. Since it cannot be crafted, each finish is entirely unique to the timepiece. Its blue finish is highly reminiscent of those cold winter mornings or finding Jack Frost tapping at the window giving you an icy glare when you are late for that board meeting.

The sapphire crystal on both sides of the case are slightly clouded to give the allure of frosting. This creates an exceptional finish in regards to looking at the skeletonised dial as it’s like we are looking through ice. Time to look through the looking glass. 

 

Fun Fact About The Zenith Defy Extreme Glacier 

The timepiece uses The El Primero 21 movement 9004 movement. This allows for timekeeping in two escapements, with one running at a very impressive 5Hz and the other blasting away at 50Hz. That’s 360,000VpH!

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph 5500V/110A-B686

 

Vacheron Constantin has delved deep into an animal aesthetic. We won’t say which one…

Source - Vacheron Constantin

 

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph 5500V/110A-B686 measures 42.5mm. Crafted out of stainless steel with a tasty satin brushed finish on the case, the dial is silver toned and given a sunburst finish. Only the greatest for one of the best watches for men in 2023.

The three chronograph counters are blacked out, making up the iconic panda dial appearance. The white gold hands and indices are not intrusive as they fit in with the silvery dial perfectly. The date aperture is based at 4:30 which is unconventional, but allows for easy access on the wrist. 

Powered by the movement 5200, the movement took 5 years to develop. Never mind its little flourishes of an oscillating weight made of 22K gold and a beastly 52 hour power reserve. The Overseas collection has been at the forefront of travel since its reinvention in 2016. 

Following a stylish circular dial with a interchange strap and bracelet mechanism, you can look your best whether you are sky high or down in the bunkers of the office floor.

 

Fun Fact About The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph 

Did you know that the bezel has six sides which shape up to look like a Maltese cross (Vacheron Constantin’s emblem). Each of these sides have a function such as adjusting the chronograph functions.

WE LIKE: Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 - Originally launched as a timepiece specifically for the American market in the 1920s, the timepiece slants the dial a highly uncommon 45 degrees, allowing easy readability on the wrist. Seems like the date aperture on the Overseas Chronograph doesn't look so silly after all…

Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBG2009

 

Grand Seiko have pushed the boat out even further concerning spectacular design and underrated models.

Source - Grand Seiko

 

Utilising a platinum case, it would look lovely in its polished allure. Instead, a choice has been made to gently chisel parts of it away, resulting in a completely unorthodox case design. Inspired by the birch trees near Grand Seiko HQ in Japan, the feel and pattern relate to the bark of the tree. 

The dial follows a similar pattern. Crafted out of silver, master crafters have hand engraved a series of soft groves into its dial, again pertaining to the wonder of the piece. Capped at 50 pieces, you can be guaranteed that each piece is as unique as a raindrop, making it one of the best watches for men in 2023.

 

Fun Fact About The Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBG2009

The “Spring Drive” component is an emblem of Grand Seiko’s technical skill. Through utilising an electronic regulator with the standard energy generation of other timepieces, Grand Seiko can release an unprecedented level of precision.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “End of Days”

 

Yes, Timelords. It does relate to the “End of Days” film from 1999 which featured Arnold Schwarzenegger. But unlike the movie, this ain’t no big flop thanks to the rerelease of this number. 

Source - Audemars Piguet 

 

Measuring 43mm, the timepiece is built out of black ceramic and has smaller parts like the pushers and caseback made out of titanium. Keeping with the 1993 style codes of black and yellow, the timepiece is refreshingly minimalistic. Even the Mega Tapisserie dial appears reserved which is more than suitable for one of the best watches of 2023.

The movement 4401 powers this timepiece and supports the flyback function, column wheel and vertical clutch, ensuring the high quality of this specific timepiece.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm Summer Blue 

 

The Seamaster collection celebrates 75 years of its dive reign. Unlike the NHS which celebrates the same anniversary in 2023, the future looks bright for this lineup.

Omega - Source

 

As part of the celebrations, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 42mm Summer Blue has been released with Poseidon and seahorse references on the caseback. An ode to the G-d of the sea. 

The classic lazer engraved wave pattern reminds us that we are in the presence of diving greatness. The bezel is crafted out of ceramic and undergoes a Grand Feu enamel finish, boasting the superbly legible diving scale. 

The summer blue aesthetic is a new dawn for the Seamaster collection. Adding a little colour to the usually moody blue or black dial, the summer blue reinvents the entire collection in a sheen of undersea beauty, ideal for one of the best watches for men in 2023.

The indexes and hands are given a special potion of blue Super-Luminova. After all, this is a Summer Blue timepiece.

 

Fun Fact About The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm Summer Blue 

Did you know that the Omega Seamaster has been closely related to The James Bond film series since 1995, appearing on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan first in Goldeneye in 1995 when he wore the Omega Seamaster Professional and now it’s on the wrist of Daniel Craig in films like Skyfall and Spectre.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self Winding Ref. 15550BA

 

Taking apart the classic “sports-luxury’ styling of the Royal Oak collection, the Royal Oak Self Winding 15550BA focuses more on effortless style. Like the Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5711, this certainly has a whiff of Tiffany dial about it. 

Source - Audemars Piguet

 

Measuring 37mm and a miniscule thickness of 8.9mm, the model is crafted out of 18K yellow gold for the case and the typical integrated bracelet. The dial is the main attraction! Crafted out of a turquoise stone which has been rigorously polished and sandblasted, the timepiece is entirely unique to the consumer due to the stone being impossible to replicate. 

Turquoise stone is rarely used in the horological world, so for Audemars Piguet to choose this material for such an iconic piece, is a bold move and may just represent the dawn of some more models featuring the material.

The octagonal bezel with the eight visible screws are present. The Tapisserie dial has had to be subbed off however, bolstering the unorthodox build of the timepiece. Classic design and interminable beauty? Yep, this is one of the best watches for men in 2023.

 

Fun Fact About The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self Winding 15550BA 

Did you know that the dial closely imitates the Tiffany dial from timepieces like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual as worn by Kenrick Lemar at the Grammys this year.

The model features the same Arabic numerals, triangular marker on the bezel and the curved case. One of the best pilot releases of the year, the Majetek takes the ruggedness of its historical Czechoslovakian Air Force ties, and links them with a few updates which we certainly cannot sniff at.

H.Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Tantalum 

 

The H.Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Tantalum is crafted out of a material you may not have heard of before…

Source - H.Moser & Cie

 

First discovered in 1802, Tantalum was originally used for protecting metallic wires in light bulb filaments. H.Moser & Cie subsequently crafted their highly lauded Perpetual Calendar 1 in the material. Anti-corrosive, resistant to acid and given a unique hue, the material undergoes “Grand Feu” enamelling on the dial. 

Grand Feu is attained through ingraining a pattern onto a gold base, mimicking a hammered effect. Then, the various pigments are applied carefully, in order to attain the right colour ensuring they oxidise. The fumé effect is garnered through the enamel dial being fired twelve times.

The end product is a 42mm beauty in a stunning turquoise sea blended with a moonlight blue. The dégradé shading allows a lighter centre, smoothing out to a darker periphery. While you may not be working with acid or working in a highly corrosive work environment, this is still one of the best watches for men in 2023.

 

Fun Fact About The H.Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Tantalum 

Did you know that the material ‘Tantalum’ took H.Moser & Cie more than two years to nail down before they could properly use it. Now that’s dedication!

Recently released in August 2023, the collection is famed for its 41mm stainless steel case with water resistant measures like a screw down caseback and a similarly screw down crown. This latest model has decided to develop the collection further with a few updates to really boost the traveller nature of the piece. There’s now a GMT complication included time peeps.

Available in olive green, aquamarine blue, brown and black, it is given a brand new unidirectional notched bezel which is crafted out of blue ceramic, there is a luminescent capsule at the top, pertaining to you being able to quickly identify where 12 o’clock is if you want to calculate any measurements like decompression phases.

Omega Speedmaster Super Racing

 

As the first model on the moon, The Speedmaster collection is incredibly revered in the horological universe. If Gollum owned a collection of watches he would of course refer to this as his “precious”.

Omega have decided to be bold and move away from the moon landing aesthetic, instead choosing to increase the sportiness of the piece. Given a honeycomb style dial and etchings of neon yellow against a black casing and dial, the sports feel is off the charts. 

Utilising a little beauty inside named the “Spirate System”, the model is capable of running between 0 and +2 seconds per day. For clarity, COSC certification requires between -4 to +6 seconds per day. Now that’s fast and a push up to one of the best watches for men in 2023.

Cartier Tank Louis Cartier

From the Francaise to the Americaine, the Tank has since its fair share of timekeeping re-development. How about an update in the form of what we are now coining “Dancefloor Dial”? With strong 70s vibes, this wouldn’t look out of place on the floor of Studio 54. 

The dial is given a less serious yet super clean aesthetic in comparison with their other svelte red and green dial releases. Why is it that all the serious brands are becoming more playful? The dial features a dance ball style with many squares displaying red, silver and gold elements. It suits the brown strap and the yellow gold case perfectly. Party time? Certainly, it is for Cartier as they’ve released one of the best watches for men in 2023.

Powered by the B01, it offers 70 hours power reserve with a 4 Hz frequency. Need we say that it’s COSC certified?

For 2023, Vacheron Constantin committed to an overhaul of Retrograde timepieces across almost all their collections. Cast your eyes to the Traditionelle and Overseas for examples!

The Patrimony edition is decidedly more classical, yet it includes the retrograde complication with consummate style. Taking up the top half of the dial, the complication adds more zest to a piece in comparison with just a standard date aperture. 

The salmon dial enhances the blue complication and the circular dial is the ultimate dressy design. The hands and hour markers are kept pencil thin, allowing the show stopping retrograde date to dance.

And true to its word, The Omega Planet Ocean Summer Blue enhances its reputation as the timepiece to hit the astonishing 6000 metre mark with a beautiful new colour and dial design.

The dial is an interesting topic. As discovered by the Five Deeps team, the dial follows the pattern of the Challenger Deep in all its ridges and crevices. This is enhanced by the lacquered finish that takes place upon the dial, boasting the lines in great depth. 

Oh yes, have a UV light handy as the word's “OMEGA WAS HERE” is hidden on the dial. How childish!

While one side shows the beauty of Jaeger artistry through a blue sunburst dial pattern, the other side is where the horological beauty comes into play. Entirely skeletonised, the piece is given a series of finished, predominantly Côtes de Genève bridges. 

The Jeger-LeCoultre Reverso was introduced as a solution to British soldiers playing polo while stationed in India. They found the crystals continually broke, so the brand formulated a model that could swivel, protecting the dial's face.

Not enough? Even though the face is skeletonised, Jaeger has cracked the legibility code, as the piece features a highly legible 30 minute retrograde counter located at 6 o’clock amongst the comings and goings of the tasty movement.

 

Fun Fact About The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph

Did you know that the retrograde feature on the piece entitles you to reach 30 minutes and the function to jump straight back to 0. That’s high tech!

Originally released in 1952, the collection was the first to feature a circular slide rule bezel which allowed pilots to effectively measure flight calculations. Confirmed by the AOPA as their official timepiece, the collection took off as the flagship of the Breitling brand.

It’s been 70 years since and Breitling is still reimagining this fantastic collection. At 46mm, the piece is capped at 300 pieces meaning it’s one rare beast to grab. While the rest of the collection is prided on its bright white and blue hues, this grey edition is a great addition to the lineup. 

Featuring a tasty 18K red gold notched bezel, the grey dial exposes three black sub dials, gold hour marker batons and golden hands. The steel case allows all of this beauty to be boasted due to its dark, steely shade and its durable build.

TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper

 

Aye, Aye Skipper! That’s right we are talking about one of the most instantly recognizable watches in the TAG Heuer lineup. 

Source - TAG Heuer

 

The TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper plays not only on the Carrera’s incredible prowess in the racing industry but also incorporates the world of sailing. 

The TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper made its debut in 1968 but only in very limited numbers. It's incredible vibrancy and different styling to the entire Carrera collection makes this a highly desired piece. As TAG Heuer became the timing partner of the America’s Cup Boat “Intrepid” in the late 60s, the boat won four races to nil, resulting in the Skipper being released in celebration in 1968. While the “Skipper” text has been moved to the left subdial, we don’t mind a modern reinterpretation of such an iconic novelty.

The Carrera is crafted out of steel and sizes at a very reasonable 39mm. Perfect for the modern wearer! With a blue dial face and one mint green sub dial at 9 o’clock, the other sub dial at 3 o’clock features a red, British Racing green and mint green in three segments.

SBGA493 - Source - Grand Seiko

 

For those who enjoy anime or just Japanese culture, may know all about the riveting weapon named, The Katana. Crafted out of steel, it's the ultimate weapon for precision and skill due to its light weight and sharp blade. Grand Seiko has taken its form and turned it into a great piece. 

The Katana is made through an incredible process which is painstakingly long and precise. Featuring iron sand taken from the earth and heated using fire and air in a furnace is known as “tatara”.  This sand is then formed into tamahagane. From here, both the “kawagne” and the “shingane” can be found, “kawagne” being the sharp high carbon steel edge of the sword, and “shingane” being the inner core of the blade . 

Grand Seiko timepieces follow such stringent design measures. Following their Grammar of Design codes and utilising the revered Zaratsu polishing technique, the 44HS collection is an ode to the collection of 1967 and it swiftly follows on its greatness.

At 40mm the SBGA493 is given a beautifully rich, red textured dial that looks like it's from the furnace itself. Its burgundy colour and slight yellow gold aesthetics to show the power reserve is influenced by the heated Katana blade and is bolstered with the exceptional sunray pattern.

Chopard L.U.C 1860

 

Originating from 1997, The Chopard L.U.C 1860 was admired by enthusiasts with great frenzy. It all makes sense as to why Chopard would release it again.

Updating the piece for 2023 in Chopard’s Lucent steel case, the 1860 has its key parts maintained such as the 36.5mm design and COSC certification movement. It’s nice to see that the dial has been given a snazzy guilloche pattern like its predecessor. 

They’ve chopped away the date aperture which is a con for the vintage lovers but a pro for those who love the minimalist look. The salmon dial is tasty and is a perfect on trend sheen along with the beautiful lucent steel case.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38 Copper Dial

 

Copper is a rarely used colour in the horological world. We must say though, if used correctly, it's an absolute show stopper!

Hats off to Girard-Perregaux on this one. The Laureato collection stretches back to 1975, boasting great heritage behind the piece we have today! At 38mm, it is a perfect size for the modern wrist wearer. A closer look would reveal the dial undergoes a Clous de Paris motif, showing a sea of miniscule pyramids that run across the entire dial. 

Its beautiful gold colour works in perfect harmony with the steel case and bracelet that undergoes brushing. The edges of the bezel and the middle links of the bracelet boast a polished finish, offering a superb contrast.

Composed of white gold, the Royal Oak is developed from its timeless steel construction to a more precious alternative. That being said, don’t think that the sporty edge has suddenly disappeared! 

The midnight star dial face is beautifully done, allowing the highly prominent white gold baton indices to clearly stand out, as well as the hands. Need we mention that they are suitable dosed in Superluminova?

Grand Seiko Urushi Maki-e’

 

Everyone likes an ode to history, right? The Grand Seiko Urushi is an ode to the very first Grand Seiko timepiece, released in 1960.

So, what is Urishi? Essentially, it is a form of lacquer that gives a texture and style like no other. The soft red dial is made from a transparent Urushi that originated from trees that are found around Joboji, the town that lies beneath Mt. Iwate. 

The dial reveals that the lacquer features a very carefully done Mt. Iwate pattern, boasting the craftsmanship and longevity of design from Grand Seiko. With a power reserve of 72 hours, even the GS inscription of the dial face references a traditional Maki-e technique from Grand Seiko.

Sleeker and blacker than David Hasslehoff’s car K.I.T.T., Vantablack is H.Moser & Cie’s concoction of carbon nanotechnology. Deemed to be the darkest artificial substance on earth, the dial is capable of absorbing any light.

Developed from the first tourbillon collection in 2014, the watch is given an astonishing red gold case at an accessible 40mm. Given extremely desirable gold leaf shaped hour and minute hands, a skeletonised tourbillon is viewable at 6 o’clock. 

The beautiful minimal aesthetic is perfect for the collection. Powered by the HMC 804, the watch runs at 21,600VpH and has a 72 hour power reserve.

Vacheron Constantin X Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon Grand Complication

 

You know something good is coming out of the woodwork when the timepiece is capped at only one model made. A piece unique is what us timekeepers call it.

Source - Vacheron Constantin

 

As you may or may not know, the Les Cabinotiers collection is the direct result of Vacheron Constantin’s need to expand into the world of artistry and design. Oh yes, there are 11 complications, including a celestial chart, a sidereal hour indication and a tourbillon. If Picasso painted a watch, he would most likely create this beauty. 

Housed in a 46mm white gold case, the model prioritises symmetry of the dials in order to house all 11 complications in a coherent structure. Featuring a starry background which is achieved through PVD, the moons are made from diamond cutting. For god’s sake, don’t turn over the dial or you may have an astrological never let alone horological overdose!

Omega Speedmaster ‘57

 

Omega have released a new lease of life into the 2023 Speedmaster collection. Now someone shout out Ground control to Major Tom. Sometimes, you have to come back down to go back up!

With obvious inspiration coming from the 1957 original Speedy, the model measures 40.50mm in a steel case. The dial is kept black like the original and decides to keep the hour markers slightly sunken to boast the vintage Super-Luminova from its depths. 

So, how will people know it's a reference to its illustrious past? The caseback is given the text “Speedmaster ‘57” as an engraving. It’s nice seeing Omega taking things back to the original. Sometimes it’s nice to feel like we’re back in time!

TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Blue 

 

The TAG Heuer Monaco has been given a new lust for life after a surprisingly neon paint job. Apparently, this is what they call French Racing Blue.

Source - TAG Heuer

 

Given a highly visible blue colouring for the leather strap, indices and sub dials, the model is re-imagined as a stunning piece of horological hardware. Crafted out of titanium, the sunburst silver dial is given a delightful sunburst finish, enhancing the timekeeping and clarity of the dial's face. 

Now, the blue colouring actually references a certain “Bleu de France” colour. The model is changed solely in its colour scheme, but just this change alone offers a new bite to the piece. Capped at 1000 pieces with “1 of 1000” hand etched on the caseback, the model is a rarity in the horological universe and may just be one to keep an eye on in the future.

 

Fun Fact About The TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Blue
