When to wear a vintage style wristwatch?
Some people like to keep valuable, high-end vintage-style watches in a safe with other jewels, only bringing them out to wear on special occasions, like if they were actually an old vintage timepiece.
There’s merit in protecting what you love, but it also seems a shame not to wear a special vintage-inspired wristwatch as often as you please. After all, they were designed to be worn and look good with virtually any outfit or on any occasion.
Wearing a vintage-style watch, just like wearing a vintage watch, is a timeless way to be in vogue in any circumstances. As Coco Chanel used to say, fashion changes, but style endures! For a simple outing to the city or a fancy dinner party, your vintage-style timepiece will complement your appearance.
Well known vintage watch brands
The trend for vintage-style watches is now so popular that virtually all the leading watch manufacturers now produce brand-new vintage-style watches that pay a respectful homage to the style of past decades while offering the best of modern horological technology.
Among the best known are Omega, whose influence from the past emanates from many of its designs. You will inevitably find a vintage-inspired watch that fits your wrist among the Swiss watchmaker’s many product ranges. To mention just one: the Seamaster, declined by dozens, will never denote bad taste.
Hamilton has nothing to envy Omega for the creation of vintage style watches. The Swiss watchmaker, originally from the United States, draws on its roots to offer timeless models often inspired by the world of aviation and its pronounced taste for beautiful watches.
Among the best-known brands in offering vintage-style watches, we can also mention Bell & Ross, Ball Watch, Montblanc, Oris, Zenith, and Alpina.
Some of the best vintage-style watches for women
If you’re looking to add some vintage-inspired watches to your collection, or maybe you’re just getting started with your watch collection, here are a few retro looking watches to whet your appetite:
Ball Watch Trainmaster Eternity for Women
BALL thought of the Trainmaster watches in homage to the railway industry of yesteryear. The famous American watchmaker has never forgotten its roots and continues to draw inspiration for his creations from the early days of railroad development in the USA. The Ball watch Trainmaster Eternity Ladies are all timeless classics and a sure value for any vintage-style watch lover.
Longines Heritage Classic – Tuxedo
With the Heritage Classic – Tuxedo model, Longines wanted to return to the “crazy parties of the late 40s”. And it’s a clear-cut one. With no frills and impeccable elegance, this retro-style watch is available with three hands or a chronograph. Impossible to get tired of it or be disappointed; this watch is a breath of fresh post-war air!
Some of the best vintage-style watches for men
The choice of vintage style watches for men is vast, and the models are all more beautiful and creative than the other. To make your choice, we advise you to dig into the watch’s history and the origins of its inspiration to understand the jewel you will wear on your wrist.
Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date
The entire Oris Big Crown Collection is sure to catch your eye if you’re a lover of vintage style watches. One of the standout timepieces is the Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date model for its resolutely retro shades.
The watchmaker’s first Big Crown watch appeared in 1938 and has been the inspiration for the collection that honors pilot watches ever since.
Zenith Chronomaster Revival A385
The Zenith Chronomaster Revival A385 is a genuine reproduction of one of the original three stainless steel El Primero models from 1969. The original model featured Zenith’s first-ever gradient dial in a smoked brown color. The Zenith Chronomaster Revival A385 is available in two choices: The first is the steel “ladder” bracelet, a modern reproduction of the Gay Frères bracelets that became symbolic of the early El Primero watches. The second comes with a light brown calfskin leather strap that will develop a unique patina for that ultimate vintage look.
