Would you like to wear a men's watch this summer that stands out on your wrist? A model that is perhaps just a tad bigger, fatter or more colourful than the average watch? In this Horological News, you will discover 8 of our most striking men's watches, bold timepieces, suitable for under the short sleeve and fitting any lifestyle, even the flamboyant one! Because a special piece of jewellery is allowed to be shown off, right?
Originally an American watch brand, Bulova makes solid and reliable timepieces. It has belonged to the Citizen Watch Group for some time now, which guarantees perfect value for money.
This Bulova 98A226 Marine Star men's watch has a case diameter of 46 mm and that's not exactly small. It is quite a big one and with this size combined with the striking orange watch strap, you are guaranteed to attract attention.
This Bulova Marine Star has an automatic movement that you wind by moving your wrist. So there is no battery in this watch. The dial is fairly busy and, thanks to the large Roman numerals, is also somewhat classic. An excellent men's watch that has a glass back and is waterproof up to 200 metres.
The Paul Rich Astro Skeleton is another automatic watch that you wind up by moving your wrist. This Astro, however, is a hugely striking timepiece that is made in homage to astronomical and space research. Tonneau-shaped watches all over again lately. This Paul Rich does is an exceptional maverick with its transparent skeleton dial, the intricate automatic mechanism underneath, and its Frosted Star Dust case.
This 42.5 mm men's watch is equipped with sapphire crystal and it is water resistant to 50 metres. In addition, this Paul Rich has a distinctive curvature of both the case and the glass. As a result, it fits perfectly on your wrist. The handsome folding clasp enhances comfort and fit. A striking model that definitely stands out!
Wearing a hefty watch has advantages and disadvantages. Yes: you really attract attention with it and you will surely often get to tell people what you are wearing there on your wrist. The disadvantage, of course, is that it does take up some space on your wrist, under tight blouses and tight jumpers.
So this Citizen Promaster Navihawk is quite a hefty timepiece as it has a case diameter of 47.5 mm and a thickness of 12.7 mm. The latter is actually not too bad for such a large men's watch.
Not only the size of this Citizen is striking, the dark grey colour with green dial will also catch the eye. An exceptional model from a very reliable watch brand.
The Citizen AT8227-56X is very popular and this is partly because of the functions it has on board and its fine specifications. A high-flyer that is waterproof up to 200 metres and charged by solar energy. On top of that, the timepiece is radio-controlled so the eye-catching Navihawk is always up to date!
This TW Steel GT14 men's watch is a limited edition Nigel Mansell model in the iconic Red 5 design that Formula 1 connoisseurs will of course instantly recognise from the glory days of Williams and former F1 driver Nigel Mansell. This watch, which not only wears nicely hefty on your wrist but also looks very tough, has a generous case diameter of 47 mm. In the process, that beautiful multi-layer dial surely catches the eye immediately. The dial does not look ordinary: the design of this racing watch is inspired by motor sports, with the diagonals on the dial representing four-point belts of a racing car.
What is also nice: Nigel Mansell was kind enough to put his signature on the cover of this TW Steel watch. So a watch with a great story, but just a great story is not enough. After all, it's also about quality, which is why the GT14 features an excellent Swiss movement, sapphire crystal and it has a very supple rubber watch strap topped with calfskin. With a water resistance of up to 100 metres, you should be fine with this watch, even in the water.
Just keep in mind that this watch is limited to 1,000 pieces and will eventually be out of stock.
The Philipp Plein PWPFA0624 Royal is an automatic in skeleton design. And that means that not only does the dial give a view of the internal movement, the valve cover of this watch is also partly glass, giving you a good view of what's inside.
But it is not this technology that makes this men's watch so striking, it is mainly the colour and design with the large skull that makes this watch stand out. This green model is nice and sporty to look at and wear, the supple silicone strap combined with the green elements on the case make it a real attention-getter. Hip, modern, brat!
This automatic watch is not small either, measuring 46 mm, still quite a big size on your wrist. The Seiko movement in this automatic is reliable and does what it is supposed to do. The Philipp Plein is also waterproof, you can take it into the shower, but do not swim with this wristwatch.
This Versace Aion watch combines the best of both worlds: it is chic yet very eye-catching due to its size and colour. Because with the case diameter of 45 mm, this watch is nice and big. The best thing about this men's model is the blue dial and the blue watch strap which, by the way, is of very good quality. A supple strap that feels good and is definitely not stiff. This Versace watch is made for lovers of expensive Italian brands, you see it and you feel it.
Fortunately, Versace does not compromise and has not lost sight of quality with this model either. A fine Swiss movement, sapphire crystal: the VE6CA0223 does not lack. A chronograph and tachymeter are also on this men's watch.
A genuine Versace naturally has a certificate of authenticity and we naturally supply it with this model. It also comes in the luxury Versace watch box.
The Versace Aion collection contains extremely tough yet stylish watches and this model is one that catches the eye and really adds something to your outfit, whatever clothes you wear.
This Tsuyosa NJ0151-88M by Citizen is really a great choice for lovers of quality watches with an attractive price. A watch with a nice colour, an automatic movement and waterproof to 50 metres. Japan's Citizen makes excellent watches.
The Tsuyosa collection is a colourful collection of automatics and this blue-coloured men's model is one of the most popular models at the moment. With a case diameter of 40 mm, it is not too big, rather average in size. This makes it easy to wear under your clothes, but still falls under the short sleeve.
You can hit the water's edge with this watch, but don't swim with the NJ0151-88M. It is waterproof up to 5ATM, which means you can take it into the shower or bath, but not into the pool.
As you would expect from Citizen, this watch has well-lit hands and indexes and it is equipped with sapphire crystal. The valve cover of this model is also glass so you can see the movement working nicely. A beautiful men's watch you can arrive with this summer!
This model in this top 8 eye-catching men's watches immediately introduces you to the (fairly new) Amsterdam-based brand URBN22. A streetwear watch brand aimed at urban lifestylers, it makes striking watches that pair well with hip clothing. Trainers, shirts and any other items from the streetwear arsenal you wear top off with this great men's watch....
With the Nitro Clear Mayhem on your wrist, you really add a modern touch to your lifestyle. Key features of this men's watch are its super strong (transparent) polycarbonate case and equipment including stopwatch, date and 24-hour hand. But above all, colourful "mayhem" (the colours) on the dial attract everyone's attention. Even the watch box in which this watch comes is cool and certainly not boring.
So the Clear Mayhem is has a stopwatch and it is waterproof up to 5ATM. With a diameter of 42 mm, this is a beautiful watch from a Dutch watch brand. A model you can wear with pride this summer!
