Top 10 Watches That Could Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

The best apocalypse watches

When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, we all have to be ready. For watch lovers, that means having a watch that can survive the invasion. Sure, you might not need accurate time once the undead takes over, but being prepared is essential, and having a reliable timepiece will come in handy. Although a watch itself probably will not keep you safe from the walking dead, it can prove to be a valuable tool to help keep you alive.

Casio G-Shock MT-G – CHF 1’200

Heading into the apocalypse you can’t go wrong with a G-Shock from Casio and the MT-G Twisted Metal is the top of the line, featuring world time, 200-meter water resistance, an LED light, stopwatch, and countdown timer, and there’s even an alarm.  It includes smartphone connectivity, which I agree will probably be down but it has a solar-powered radio control so you will always be able to connect.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer – CHF 6’200

Designed for adventurers of all kinds, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer is a simple watch that can take a hit and keep running virtually forever. Rolex has put it through numerous real-life tests on the wrists of intrepid explorers on mountaineering, polar, and caving expeditions, exposing it to the toughest conditions. Its automatic mechanical movement with a 48-hour power reserve doesn’t require a battery, so you are not a slave to the power grid (lucky as that is down for sure). To keep it running you will need to wear it all the time. Take it off though if you find yourself running out of supplies – a Rolex is a valuable barter tool!

Victorinox INOX – CHF 795

When Victorinox introduced the INOX, they famously ran a tank over it, dropped it onto a concrete floor, boiled it, froze it and it kept on ticking. Victorinox Swiss Army developed a series of more than 100 extreme tests that the watch was designed to survive. If it can handle this, it can handle a few zombies.

Oris Prodiver Chronograph – CHF 4’580

The Oris Prodiver Chronograph is a monster of a watch with a case size of 51mm but in lightweight titanium, so it won’t feel heavy on your wrist while you are sprinting to the next safe place. The Prodiver is a professional dive watch with a water resistance of 1000 meters. The unidirectional diver’s bezel locks the bezel in place once the dive time is set, ensuring that it won’t move in either direction preventing life-threatening timing errors if you have to dive to safety. All things you will need when the zombies are shuffling outside your door.

Luminox Master Navy SEAL – CHF 395

The Luminox Navy Seal collection is officially licensed by the United States Navy. Worn by the Navy SEALS, this Luminox is the top of the line, water resistant to 300 meters, and featuring the Luminox Light Technology, which guarantees illumination for up to 25 years, so it is always visible, even in complete darkness. If you are planning on hiding out in a cave or a dark basement during the apocalypse- remember the power grid is out – this watch is a really good option. The case is made of carbon and hardened mineral crystal so it is both robust and ultra-light at the same time. These watches are designed to be virtually indestructible. Hopefully, it will help bring out the Navy Seal inside you.
