If you are a luxury watch enthusiast, you may have asked yourself at least once: What is the perfect watch for my outfit?

Every man or woman has a look that makes them feel comfortable or likes to wear certain outfits based on the situation they are in. Although, when it comes to taste and aesthetics, subjectivity plays a major role. We can find some basic principles that should be followed if you want to find the perfect match between a watch and an outfit.

The Perfect Luxury Watch for a Man’s Casual Outfit

Let’s start with an important premise: dressing casually does not mean appearing sloppy or unkempt. The great success that this type of look has had among young people comes from the possibility of combining a large variety of outfits, thus giving the most creative the opportunity to experiment and perfectly adapt the outfit to their own character.

The man who dresses casually seeks a refined and sophisticated style, casual in fact, should not be confused with “casuale”. The one who embraces this outfit does not give up elegance but combines it with a touch of sportiness. We could give you many tips on how to combine the various outfits, but now let’s focus only on one accessory in particular: the watch. The watch, to match a casual style, must not give up luxury and must also have an eye for practicality. For this reason, the watch should be a timepiece made with resistant materials, and the color palette and case shapes can vary. It is not necessary to limit yourself only to “classic” colors and designs.

Given these guidelines, let’s take a look at the brands and models that go best with a casual men’s outfit.

Black Rolex Submariner Is Ideal for a “Casual Chic” Look

The Rolex Submariner comes with a black bezel and a dial. The gear poses all the characteristics to be the perfect watch to wear with a casual style. The black color gives a certain elegance to the timepiece while maintaining the characteristics that make it very practical.

One of the perks is definitely the steel deployant clasp mounted on the traditional Oyster bracelet. This is very practical for ensuring maximum safety. Even the material used for the bracelet, steel, adapts perfectly to the casual style. In fact, it is particularly resistant and allows you not to be afraid of the impacts it could suffer during your daily life. As an alternative option, Ele Straps for Rolex watches that boast water-resistance features and bring a more sporty look to the timepiece.

Rolex Submariner Hulk, for an “Aggressive” Casual Style

The Rolex Submariner “Hulk” is decidedly different in terms of appearance compared to the Submariner we reviewed before. This version is, in fact, quite famous for its emerald green color that gives it a decidedly more “aggressive” look.

The green color certainly requires more attention in terms of matching, but this certainly does not scare those who have chosen the casual style to experiment with ambitious color combinations and shades. With this Rolex watch model, you will certainly not go unnoticed, and although it presupposes a more careful choice of colors with which to be associated, at the same time, the timepiece is able to significantly enhance your outfit.

For those who are also interested in the value of the watch they wear, we can safely say that the Rolex Submariner “Hulk” is a watch to show off with pride. In fact, it has gone out of production and therefore, its market value is much higher than its list price at the beginning.

Breitling Navitimer for Your Everyday Casual Look

Breitling’s Navitimer collection is one of the most beloved in the world. It features different models, which are essentially divided into “Chronograph” and “Automatic”. Although both versions are ideal for a casual style, we believe that the automatic version is preferable from this point of view. In fact, the dial is more refined than what we can observe on the Chronograph, which features a greater number of elements.

Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41 - a Conversation Starter

Featuring Breitling’s famous circular slide rule, distinctive bidirectional bezel, stainless-steel case, and three-hand dial, the Navitimer Automatic is an elegant complement to any outfit.

In the latest versions, the hour and minute hands are covered with Super-LumiNova, a luminescent material that ensures readability in all lighting conditions. The watch dial features a red-tipped central seconds hand as well as a date window at 6 o’clock.

The Navitimer Automatic 41 is run on the Breitling Caliber 17. This is an automatic movement with a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Like all Breitling watches, they are COSC-certified chronometers. This independent confirmation guarantees their precision and reliability. All Navitimer Automatic 41 watches are water-resistant to 3 bar (30 meters/100 feet).

The watch features two versions of the bracelet. The more classic versions are characterized by the crocodile leather strap, while for the more “dynamic” version, the strap is steel with a deployant buckle.

Omega De Ville, Perfect Watch for a Dark Blue Suit

If you choose to wear a dark blue suit, the model we suggest is an Omega De Ville. The strength of the De Ville certainly lies in its particularly classic design combined with ultra-modern calibers. These features make the watch perfect for more formal occasions, whether it is a business context, a wedding, or a gala evening.

The reason why we outline this watch is its top-level elegance. The leather strap perfectly matches the dark blue suit and can be enhanced by shoes and a black tie. The dial adopts a basic style without numbers. The case and bezel are made of steel. The watch is not excessively large - the diameter is 40 millimeters, and it mounts the caliber 8910.
