Forget the socks, links, colognels, monogrammed golf balls - or one of the usual trinkets that you may have ripped off at the last minute of your local pharmacy on Christmas Eve. (Andabsoutely Forget this type of ultra-fantaistic shaving, he will use twice before going on to his bottle edge.) No, if you really want to light his stock this year (or your own!), Opt for the greatest gift of all the time. But not only at any time. Invest in a retro-inspiring timepiece that it can wear for the rest of his life.
With that in mind, we have collaborated with the people of Hodinkee-The Watch of Reigning Watch - to highlight seven of the most elegant and elegant watches on the market right now. So, a beautiful watch of the diver to a classic model once worn by Mr. McQueen himself, they are here.
1 Diver of Longines Legend
$ 2,300; Buy nowHodinkee
Milleseid retresses are affected or missing. The diver of the legend of Longines is, firmly, once. The case looks like what it comes out of the entire espionage film of the 1960s, but its guts - functionality and movement - are as modern as possible: this indestructible timepiece has a reserve of 38 hours and can withstand the depths of 300 meters.
2 Oris Various Sixty-five 42mm with blue dial
$ 1,990 with strap, buy now atHodinkee; $ 2,300 with bracelet (shown), Buy NowHodinkee
Each guy loves options. And ORIS - by reviving their retro-chic diver, of course, well delivered. Available in three dial colors (blue, green and silver) and two straps (stainless steel volume or black jet rubber), the divers of the sixty-five year olds are sure to have at least one mix-match mix adapted to everyone.
3 Zenith 146 heritage with brown dial
$ 6,700; Buy nowHodinkee
The zenith zenith of stainless steel 146 is available in two hues of Debonir: a deep mahogany or a dream azure. We are partial in the brown tone; It is evocative of cigar smoke and whiskey salons that were so widespread at the time this watch was worn. (It would be the 1960s.)
4 Zenith El Primero 36.000 HPV with Panda dial
$ 8,700; Buy nowHodinkee
Back in the 1960s, Zenith El Primero became the first automatic chronograph in the world. This deep story is precisely why the company has decided to reissue the watch today, except with a current panda-current aesthetics and a case constructed entirely of ceramized aluminum, a material unavailable 50 years ago .
5 NOMOS GLASHÜTTE TANGENTE NEOMATIK 39 SILVERCUT
$ 3,880; Buy nowHodinkee
Simplicity is the key and tangent of Nomos's Glashütte - with its brushed stainless steel case, a leather strap Cordovan brownie and elegant azure hands - is the incarnation of simplicity. As a bonus, you can see that the caliber works through the back of the case.
6 Grand Seiko SBGR253
$ 3,800; Buy nowHodinkee
Despite its relatively low cases, the SBGR253 clocks at a point of 37 mm - do not count this timepiece in onyx's face. Just look at the elegantly household sapphire crystal, or the three-binder bracelet completely woven: this stainless beauty has an undeniablepresence.
7 TAG Heuer Monaco Caliber 17 COSC
$ 12,000; Buy nowHodinkee
There is a reason why Tag Heuer has reissued the caliber of Monaco, and it's not because of the 18-carat gold case, the sumptuous alligator leather strap, or the unique square face at once Reserved. It's becauseSteven McQueen-Yes,this Steve McQueen - used to wear the dangs.
