Of course, the world of luxury timepieces also comes with a few sartorial principles which you may want to adhere to. Visually, racing watches are a little more flamboyant, with more exotic colour and style options. Two complications define a racing watch: a chronograph (which is a stopwatch function) and a tachymeter (which tracks travel time or measured distance, based on speed). They tend to come in a more muted colour palette. Originally designed for timekeeping under tough physical conditions, military watches are typically robust and crafted from impact-resistant material, also featuring high luminosity. To be called a ‘diving watch’ they must feature a water resistance greater than 330ft. The vast majority also tend to feature a rotatable bezel for timing a dive. With a dial that’s typically uncluttered and high contrasting, diving watches are rooted in their need to be legible underwater and in low light. This makes them more of a practical timepiece, most at home with a casual business look. Simplistic in style and larger than most other timepieces, the aim for pilot watches is to be highly legible and easy to operate. Simplicity and elegance are key here, with limited complications on display. Designed to be worn with formal attire, although nowadays it’s common for dress watches to be paired with semi-formal and casual business wear. There are many different watch styles, taking functional and design inspiration from the world of aviation to the depths of the deep sea. From the colour of the dial to the material of the strap, it’s a statement on your wrist that will be with you for many years to come, through a variety of events and occasions. Understandably, style is one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing your luxury timepiece.
