The Swiss watchmaker, Omega, has been in business since 1903. And they are the rockstars of the watchmaking industry. They have been official time keepers for countless events, including the Olympics since 1932. And both the Royal flying corp, and the American Air force used Omega as their official time keepers. It was an Omega that was the first watch on the moon. And, of course, It was an Omega that has graced the wrist of James Bond, ever since 1995. Needless to say, they have made quite a name for themselves. And it is not all hype. Omega watches are one of the best watch companies in the world. And this Speedmaster is a perfect example of what they can do.
The Omega Speedmaster is a nice looking watch, inspired by the first watch in space, it has a vintage feel to it. With it's nearly 40mm stainless steel case, is fairly big, without feeling overly large. The stainless steel back is embossed with the classic Omega seahorse. The Speedmaster has its crown at the classic 3 o'clock position, along with the chronograph buttons at the 2 o'clock position and 4 o'clock position. The black face has dashes to denote the hour and minute marking, and all the hands on the watch are silver. The 22.9mm Band is made from brown leather and has a buckle style clasp.
The Omega Speedmaster is not going to overwhelm you with Bond-like features. But it is a chronograph, and not just a plain'ol quartz chronograph, but a self winding mechanical chronograph. The watch also includes a Tachymeter bezel and your standard HH, MM, and second capabilities. It also has a sapphire, scratch resistant lens, with anti-reflective treatment.
The movement for the Omega Speedmaster is something special. It is the manual winding Omega 1861 chronograph movement with Rhodium-plated finish. The movement has a power reserve of 48 hours and 18 jewels. It runs at 21,600 bph. It has counters for 60 seconds, 30 minutes, and 12 hours.
The Omega Speedmaster is a fantastic watch, playing on history ti bring an excellent timepiece. the fact that the same movement has been used since the moon landing that added a layer of fame to the company. I like this watch a lot. The company has an excellent story and nobody would miss seeing the famous Omega on your wrist. And at a 3500 dollar price point, it is an excellent buy on this list of best men's watches under...

Band: Calfskin
Movement: Bell & Ross automatic movement, BR-CAL.301
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date, Chronograph
Battery: N/A
Water resistance: 100M/
Bell & Ross is not an old brand name, but definitely is a unique watch maker.
Bell & Ross was founded in 1992 headquartered in Paris France. They were originally produced by the German watchmaker, Sinn, but, in 2002, the partnership ended and Bell & Ross went their own way.
Today they make some truly unique watches. The square cased watches with highly accurate swiss movements and some amazing dive watches that are resistant up to 1000M.
The Bell & Ross Heritage Ceramic watch is unique, not only in this list, but in just about any lists. The 42mm case us square, flat black and made of PVD, and with a crown located at the 3 o'clock position. It also has chronograph function buttons located at the 2 and 4 o'clock positions. The flat black dial face is accented with hour markers and minute indexes in a sand color, to give it an antiquated look. The black hands are also tipped in the same sand color. The brown calfskin band comes with a buckle style clasp, and the watch comes with an additional canvas band, and tools required to change the bands.
The Bell and Ross heritage ceramic has some features that make this unique watch a very useful watch to own. HH, MM, and second, along with chronograph features make this watch not only appealing to look at but functional as well.
The Bell & Ross BR-CAL.301 movement is a modified ETA 2894-2 movement. withh 37 Jewels and a 42 hour power reserve, this chronograph movement runs at a 28,800 bph frequency, and gives the hour, minute and small second as well as date.
The Bell & Ross will not fit every ones taste. It is for the individual who wants to sport something different and unique on their wrist, while still showing a sense of class. the watch is well built and will serve in most environments. I personally enjoy the looks of the Bell & Ross watches, which is something of a surprise to me, considering I tend to lean more toward classic looks.
I have seen this watch sell for as low as 3000 dollars, but for as much as 4200, so watch the prices when shopping for one. It seems to vary wildly.
