Field Watch

Field watches emerged during WWII, which is why they are often called the “trench watches”. Historically, they were worn by soldiers and militants to assist them during warfare. But in the present times, field watches are popular among professional sports players. These watches are also perfect for casual wear, especially if someone likes a chunkier and bold aesthetic.

A leather or canvas wrist band

  • Black, protruded dial
  • Glare proof glass
  • Prominent white number listing
  • Lumed hands
  • Hacking second hand

Dive Watch

Originally, a dive watch was created for people who spent time near or underwater. This watch is highly water-resistant, which enabled individuals working in the near-under-water industry to function optimally. However, after the James Bond series, these watches gained popularity! So if your man is inspired by the 007 look, then consider getting this for him!

If you’re thinking of buying a dive watch for your man, then look for the following features in the watch:
