The Top 7 Men’s Watches for Valentine's Day

Choosing a fine timepiece for your partner is not an easy task. After all, it is a valuable gift that should not be bought without a thought. Is your loved one sporty and outdoorsy? Then maybe a Rolex Submariner Date is the right choice. Men with a penchant for minimalism will find what they are looking for with Nomos, while fans of the Daytona are in need of something more sophisticated. We present you with seven top models that will make any man's heart beat faster.

The Navitimer with the legendary slide rule bezel is one of the great classics in the world of watches. The chronograph can measure time and calculate distance, speed or fuel consumption. It is also one of the most popular men's watches ever. Especially the version with a satin steel case and blue dial is an eye-catcher that hardly anyone can resist. The characteristic dial ensures that enough attention is given to the 30-minute and 12-hour counters. The inner values of the 43 mm automatic watch are also impressive: it is equipped with a ratchet-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch and an impressive power reserve of 70 hours. The steel bracelet underlines the sporty and professional character of this watch.

Admittedly, the Daytona is not necessarily one of the most affordable models in the watch world – but it is one of the most desirable. This is not surprising since this classic watch is a legend, a statement and an investment at the same time. Hardly any watch enthusiast has never dreamed of wearing this cult object, named after a 24-hour race, on their wrist. The iconic dial with three totalizers is reminiscent of the steering wheel of luxury racing cars. Thanks to the chronograph function, even the shortest time measurements can be taken by simply pressing a button. The white dial and the 40 mm case combined give the Daytona a classy and sporty look. The right choice for sophisticated watch wearers.

The reliability of the Oyster Prince was legendary, but it was only with the Heritage Chrono and the Black Bay line that Tudor managed to step out of the shadow of its parent company Rolex. Today, David Beckham and Lady Gaga are among its famous brand ambassadors. The latter wore a Black Bay with red wine bezel for the Tudor campaign "Born to Dare" – proof of the model's cross-gender appeal. The Bordeaux tone is visually stunning, especially when combined with the black dial with rose-colored hands. These, as well as the indices, glow in the dark, as befits a diving watch with a water resistance of 200 m. At the heart of the Black Bay is the caliber MT5602, one of the first calibers produced in-house by Tudor.

Since its launch in 1993, the Seamaster Professional Diver 300M has enjoyed a devoted following. The maritime character of the diving watch is reflected in every square millimetre: the 42 mm stainless steel model has a blue ceramic bezel with a diving scale made of white enamel. Polished blue ceramic also makes up the dial, in which waves have been laser-engraved. As the name suggests, the watch can withstand a water depth of 300 metres. The hands and indices, which have been filled with white Super-LumiNova, ensure good readability. With the revival of the watch line in 2014, the movement – an Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 880 – has been updated to the latest technological standards: Reliability, outstanding accuracy and a magnetic insensitivity of over 15,000 Gauss speak for themselves. With this watch, your man will master every challenge.

With a diameter of 36 millimetres, the Calatrava is rather slim for a men's watch. This makes for a pleasant contrast to the large, robust sports watches that currently dominate the market. The first generation of Calatravas saw the light of day as early as 1932, and to this day the line is still very popular with watch connoisseurs all over the world. The Ref. 2525-1 is no longer in production and therefore circulates as a highly sought-after vintage model. With its white dial, gold indices and gold Dauphine hands, this hand-wound watch stands for timeless elegance.

Here comes Hulk. Since its first appearance in 2010, the green Submariner Date has taken the hearts of thousands of watch lovers by storm. Thanks to the striking colour of the bezel and dial, it remains a visual highlight to this day. While the eponymous superhero is not necessarily known for his affinity for diving, the Submariner Date is clearly influenced by its maritime background. The water-resistance of 300 metres, a unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring dive time and superbly legible hands and dial show that this watch is made for diving. Its robustness was also appreciated by James Bond, who used to wear a Submariner on his wrist in earlier movies.

When the Tangente was introduced in 1992, it immediately stood out on the watch market thanks to its incomparable clarity and visual reminiscence of the Bauhaus style. Nearly 30 years later, it has become a modern classic that manages the balancing act of the new and the old in an outstanding manner. The Tangente Sport neomatik 42 in the "blue-black" version is characterized by a very special interplay of colors that reveals its sophistication, especially at second glance. The robust case is waterproof up to 30 bar (equivalent to approx. 290 m), and the green luminous indices ensure good readability even in poor lighting conditions. Men who appreciate minimalism with a certain sophistication will be more than happy with this watch.
