I hope that you will enjoy this post. I am expecting to see some very nice watches on this list. I do believe we may even hit the 10,000 dollar price point. We will just have to wait and see.
The Best Men's Swiss Watches for Under...Part 2
The best men's Swiss watch for under 1000 dollars
Hamilton Watch
Titanium Auto
Model: H70575733
Case: 42 mm, Titanium
Band width: 20 mm, Nylon
Movement: ETA 2824-2 Automatic movement
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery: N/A
Water resistance: 100M/330 ft
Hamilton is another company that makes products I enjoy thoroughly. It might be my brains playing games with my heart, but they have a very american look to them. If you have read anything about Hamilton, you will know that they were once an American company, I do believe that is what has made me like them as much as I do.
But now they are Swiss. They are owned by the Swatch Co. Like many other watch brands, and have, without a doubt, have a place on my best men's watches under blog. They make good watches that are good looking, And this Titanium Auto watch is a perfect example. It has made my lists before. It was on the best men's watches under 1000 dollars.
The Titanium Auto Field watch has a 42mm Titanium case. The open crown is located at the 3 o'clock position. The titanium has a matte black finish, and a smooth bezel, with a sapphire lens covering a black dial face. The numbering is in white, with illumination imbued into them. The outer ring of Arabic numerals is marked with the hours of a 12 hour clock, and the inner, smaller Arabic numerals shows the 24-hour clock. There is a date window located at the 3 o'clock position, and the hands of the watch are outlined in black, with the white illumination imbued in them as well. The band is a NATO canvas style, with a buckle clasp.
The movement is an automatic ETA 2824-2 movement. ETA is, of course, a property of Swatch, and one of the most popular movement makers in the world. And that may be an understatement. The movement has 25 jewels, and runs at 28,800 bph. It is a very popular movement, and should be considered, not only a quality movement, but a easily reparable movement. Parts should be readily available.
The watch can usually be had through online retailers for around 700 dollars. And, in my opinion, is a great value watch. It would be rugged, and have a very military look to it. It is something that can suit many needs, and should get appraising looks.

Classima Auto Silver
Model: 10214
Case: 40mm Steel
Band: Alligator
Movement: Swiss Automatic
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery: N/A
Water resistance: 50M
Baume & Mercier is old school Swiss watchmaking at its best. They have some very classic looking watches, and build them with quality in mind. They have been known for their accuracy and innovative looks, and continue to be a force in the Swiss watch industry.
The Classima is a very classic design. It has a 40mm stainless steel case that is polished to a mirror finish. The crown is located at the 3 o'clock position, and is slightly low profile, making very unobtrusive to the shape of the watch. There is a smooth bezel, and the watch sports sapphire lenses on both the front and back of the case, allowing you to see the automatic movement inside. The face of the watch is pearled silver, and has Roman numerals at the quarter hours, along with indexes marking the remaining hours. There is a date window located at the 3 o'clock position and the hands of the watch, along with the hour markers are in gold. The band of the watch is black alligator, with a buckle style clasp.
The movement is a modified SW200 movement. It has 26 jewels, it has a 36 hour power reserve, and runs at 28,800 bph. Baume & Mercier has done some modification to make it more appealing to look at through the see through back.
The Classima can usually be had through online retailers for around 1600 dollars. putting it well below the 2000 dollar mark. This watch, as well, has made it onto my previous lists. It was on the watches for under 2000 dollar list. It is a very appealing looking watch for those people who like a simple classic look.
The best men's Swiss watch for under 5000 dollars
Omega
Speedmaster Moon watch limited edition
Model: 311.32.40.30.01.001
Case: 39.7mm, Stainless steel
Band: 22.9mm Leather
Movement: Omega 1861 Manual Wind
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Chronograph
Battery: N/A
Water resistance: 50M/167ft
Of course, the Omega Speedmaster Moon watch was going to be on this list. At the under 5000 dollar price point, this may very well be my favorite watch available at this time. I love the homage to the moon landing watch, and the vintage look the watch has. The tried and true movement, and just the sheer Omega-ness about the watch. It all gets lumped into a wonderful watch that I am not ashamed of gushing about.
I have had this watch in several posts now. Of course the Omega Speedmaster Moon watch made the Best men's Omega watches, the best watches under 5000 dollars, the best men's chronographs, and the best men's mechanical hand wound watches. And now here. And if I can add it to more lists, I will.
The stainless steel case of the Moon watch measures 40mm in diameter. The crown is located at the 3 o'clock position, and it has the chronograph buttons located at the 2 & 4 o'clock positions. It has a black bezel with a tachymetric scale, and has a sapphire lens covering the dial. The dial itself is black, with silver index marks for the hours, and smaller indexes for the minutes. It has a small seconds at the 6 o'clock position, and 30 & 60 minute recorder subdials located at the 3 & 9 o'clock positions. The center second hand is the chronograph. The hands of the watch are polished stainless steel. And the band of the watch is leather with a buckle style clasp.
The movement is a throwback from the past. It is a manual wind, Omega 1861 chronograph movement. It is the same movement that was in the watch that went to the moon in 1962. It has 18 jewels, and runs at 21,600 bph, and has 48 hours of reserve power. It is a wonderful movement.
The watch can be found through the online retailers for around 3500 dollars. A sheer steal for the under 5000 dollar price point, and I cannot reiterate it enough. I think this watch is well worth it, and more.

The best men's Swiss watch for under 10,000 dollars
Rolex
Datejust II 41mm
Model: 116334
Case: 41mm, Steel & Gold
Band: Stainless steel
Movement: 3136
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Water resistance:
The Datejust line of watches have been in production in one form or another, since 1945, as a certified, automatic wind chronometer wrist watch. They are the baseline of the Rolex line of watches. Basically, if you want to step into the realm of Rolex, this is where you are going to go to get your feet wet.
The Datejust is a classic looking, Rolex watch. The Datejust II is the larger brother of the Datejust. It was released in 2009, and appears to have been a great success for Rolex. The size is, for me, nearly a perfect one at 41mm. The material is the Rolesor, (Rolesor being a blend of gold and stainless) The crown is located at the 3 o'clock position, and it is also made from the Rolesor. The bezel is fluted, and the lens of the watch is sapphire, with a cyclops lens over the date window, which is located at the 3 o'clock position. The dial of the watch is white, and the indexes, which are used for the hour markers are made of 18ct white gold. The hands of the watch are polished steel, with illumination imbued within them, and the band of the watch is the patented, Oyster band. It is a 3 link style band made from the Rolesor, and has a folding style safety clasp.
The movement of the Datejust II, is the Rolex 3136 calibre, automatic movement. It is a chronometer certified movement. It has 31 jewels, and a 48 hour power reserve. It runs at 28,800 bph. It is the movement that has been in the Datejust II, since the inception, in 2009.
The Datejust II is a nice looking watch, to me personally. I am not a huge fan of the cyclops lens. They distort too much for me personally, but other than that, I think this is a great watch, made by a great company. The watch is a little more than entry level as far as Rolex is concerned, but I do not think you would be disappointed with this watch. It generally runs around 7000 dollars through the online retailers, and I believe it to be a great deal at that price point.

Wrap Up
Every single one of these watches has been on previous lists, here at the best men's watches under blog. That says something. Not really sure if it says something about the great Swiss watches available for these prices, or if it has more to do with me being lazy...
Seriously, though. These watches have been on previous lists for a reason. We are talking about Rolex and Omega, and Baume et Mercier and Hamilton. All of these companies on this list are high quality, long standing companies that have been making great watches for a very long time. I do not think you would be disappointed with any of these watches.
Thank you for reading the best men's watches under blog.
