This classic has been around since 1953. As Rolex’s website states, “it’s probably the only diver’s watch you can wear with a tuxedo.” What do we love about it? At 62 years old, it’s never gone out of style.
If you want to show the world that you have a refined taste level, this is the watch for you. It was worn on the first lunar landing by Buzz Aldrin in 1969, and is definitely one of the most iconic watches of all time.
We were sold on this watch when Steve McQueen wore it in the 1970 film “Le Mans.” The square face makes it interesting, as does the fact that it’s the world’s first timepiece with a belt-driven transmission.
While other watches are a little more bold, the Calatrava exudes subtle elegance. Considered to be a dress watch by many, it looks perfect with a nice suit or even a tuxedo. Comes in a variety of gold finishes.
This watch is a functional piece of art, and a favorite of pilots and aeronautical enthusiasts alike. It’s very recognizable with a large steel case and black dial. It’s also water resistant to a depth of 30 meters. Another classic, it looks great with just about anything.
To stay under $20,000 you’ll be purchasing this timepiece in stainless steel, which is actually our favorite of the available treatments. The watch is elegant, with a display and calendar that is extremely easy to read. Wear it with both casual or dressy attire.
