Automatic Watches

This price honestly seems like a mistake.

The reliably affordable brand reaches some lofty new heights.

One of the original icons of the microbrand space makes a refined return.

It even has an in-house skeletonized automatic movement.

Its design was inspired by recently discovered archival drawings of an unreleased watch.

They kept everything good about the watch and fixed its biggest drawback.

No one ever said basic watches have to be ugly.

I'm struggling to think of one thing I'd change about it.

Just when I thought this diver couldn't get any cooler.

Zenith's El Primero chronographs share an extensive history with the Rolex Daytona. The brand's latest model attempts to outdo it.

If you're buying a new chronograph this year, there's a good chance it'll have this trait.

This year has an inordinate number of major watch brands celebrating big anniversaries.

Now this is some real Miami heat.

It sure looks like Rolex's sister brand is about to drop a Tiffany Blue Chronograph.

Some surprises are good, some not so good.

You don't have to be an Ace to land this tricolour chronograph from Bell & Ross.

I'm mostly tired of vintage reissues, but I love this.

Collectors have been pining for this watch for years.

And there's no waiting list!

By all accounts, Seiko is one of the best brands to start a watch collection because of affordability, variety, and heritage. Here are the best five to start with.
