The Top Everyday Watch From Major Brands

So, an emerging category of watch that I always talk about on this channel is this everyday style watch. Some people will call it a go anywhere, do anything style watch, but for this video, I wanted to focus in on what are the purest forms of everyday watches. We've talked about this subject many times, but from major brands, what are the single best representations of an everyday watch? The reason why I wanted to get into this subject is it's been some time since we've talked about everyday watches for all segments of the industry. And I do think that there are so many people that gravitate towards this style of watch because if they are going to spend a certain amount of money, they want to get the best return. And to get the best return, you have to wear the watch over and over again. And that is what these watches excel at. So just to describe what am I talking about when I'm speaking about an everyday watch. I think first is it has to have this line of sportiness with refinement. Can you wear it in a casual setting? Maybe in an aquatic environment. Uh go swimming with it. But can you also wear it in the office or for a formal event? Can it work both on a strap and a bracelet? Doesn't necessarily need to work on both, but that would be a nice value ad. Is it versatile in that regard? Also, it can't be a watch that you're constantly worrying about. Does it have some robustness in its package? And are you also able to get some water resistance in the process of that? It really is about having this convenience. So, you can wear it in all of these different situations. 100 m of water resistance is ideal. And it can be that dumb reach where you don't even have to think when you go and grab this watch on a dayto-day. It just simply works. Now, for this exercise, we're going to focus on major brands and companies with name recognition. They have mass market penetration, manufacturing capability, and broad appeal. And as we're going through here, you'll notice that there are some major brands that might not be included. I want to be rather strict with what I qualify as an everyday watch. Brands like PC, AP, Briget, even Brightling aren't going to be included in this video, and there's reasons for that. Yes, a Nautilus has versatile style and water resistance. It's a delicate subject, but that's a subject for another video, but unless you have a certain look or have a deep wallet, it's probably not going to be what most people will call an everyday watch, especially when you're talking about this integrated steel sports watch. That's a whole topic that I think people might argue. Is it truly everyday? Yes, probably in most instances, uh, but maybe not to the purest form of this idea. I brought up Brightling as well as another example. cool brand, but their watches don't really qualify as this pure representation of an everyday watch. Uh there are watches that are adjacent to the genre. You could look at something like the top times, but those might be a little too playful. And then you have the chronomats, which have a bracelet that might not work in every different circumstance. So, this is how I'm thinking about this when putting together this video. So, hopefully that gives you a better understanding. A lot of brands to go through, a lot of watches to go through. We're going to look at all different price points and bounce around throughout the industry. So, let's go with our first watch here. And guys, before we jump in, I'm going to be heading back to New York City for an event with Nomos. This is going to be on October 29th. We have very limited space available for this. So, if you are interested, hit the link below. This is a first come, first serve type of idea. If we have space, one of my team members will reach out to you. But if you are interested, fill it out below. What's going to be happening at this event, we're going to have a variety of our inventory in their Soho boutique where you can check out many of Nomos's watches. Also going to include in that the new world timer set. So, if you want to have a chance to look at these watches in person and actually walk away with one, this is the newer sets. We will have those very limited amount of them at the event. So, if you want to check those out, be sure to attend. Express your interest down below. I will also, of course, be in attendance. Would love to be able to meet you guys. We do not really do anything outside of Cleveland, Ohio. So, to do something in New York, say hello. Uh something that is pretty rare. So, if you want to take part in it, link will be in the description down below. First come, first serve, but really act fast. We'd love to see you guys there. And with that, we're going to start with Omega. So Omega has a lot of watches that could be considered in this range. You could consider a Railmaster, maybe something from the Constellation family. But for me, there really is only one choice, and that goes with the Aqua Terra. The Aquater Terra is the extension of the Sea Master range. It was evolved in the 21st century and now exists in a variety of different dial formats. And I think that's the main reason why it gets the edge over something like the Railmaster and some of the other watches in this realm. You have the tiquid dials, you have the lacquer dials, you have the shades editions. There are so many different watches in the Aquatera family to choose from that it is borderline overwhelming. Uh 38 mm options, 41 as well being part of the package. Main difference is going to be the movement. 8800 series, 8900 series. Uh but what you get with both of these is phenomenal specs across the board. 150 m of water resistance. So, a step above a lot of the competition as you will see throughout this video. Two different case sizes that split the difference for the vast majority of risk. So, I think you're going to be covered in 90% of circumstances. And most people also, I would say, the sweet spot of individuals with the largest overlap uh or the largest segment of buyers are going to be able to work with both of these different case sizes. You get the added benefit of the master chronometer certification. I love the aspect of double AR on these watches. is they're very striking in person. Some people might not like that as much and maybe use this as a downside for their everyday viability, but pretty much anything you can throw at these pieces are going to be represented. If you look at the original Railmaster and what that watch was in the trilogy edition with the CK2914, if they had all the technology of today, back then with producing that Railmaster, I think the Seam Master family and what's being presented with the Aquaterara is probably better at upholding that original idea. You have the 15,000 Gaus of magnetic resistance. You're getting a master chronometer in the process, stellar water resistance, and a variety of different dial colors to choose from. Now we move along to the elephant in the room. We're talking Rolex here. We were going back and forth when we were talking about what watch makes the cut for Rolex. There were three different watches that were in the mix and there was almost an argument for 15 minutes when trying to figure out what was the final choice here. I was partially on the line of maybe going for the Explorer or for the Oyster Perpetual. But then you started to think about another consideration which was the Datejust. and you also reflect on what is actually out there. What do you typically see the most? And once you reflect reality with the choice here, that's where you start to realize that the Datejust probably is the right choice. The Datejust is going to be the most elegant of those three watches that I included. The Explorer though has this more utilitarian type of execution, whereas the Oyster Perpetual has loom in the package, which is a nice value ad, but it does feel a tad more sporty than that of the Datejust. And I think the Datejust can extend further to one side of the aisle in being more formal when it needs to be. But is the Datejust going to be out of place if you went to the pool side or are doing something a bit more rugged and out there? Maybe you can mention that for some of the Rollazor models because you are incorporating precious metal in the package, but generally speaking, the Datejust is a pretty sturdy watch, at least if you're talking about the contemporary examples. This is a watch that can handle just about anything. And it's so emblematic of Rolex in both this era and eras of the past. You have a 36 mm and a 41mm option. I think this even covers more gaps of the pockets of wrist. Now, there might be a few people in the middle where they could make both the 36 and 41 work and they're not finding their perfect sweet spot. I think this is where the Aquaterara is a little more focused towards the middle of wrists and mediumsiz wrists. But then the Datejust is really going to the classic dimensions of what's being presented by 36 mm, which is way more viable than many people realize. If you've ever tried on a 36 mm Datejust, you might be shocked to see how well it wears. If you're in the crowd of people saying, "Oh, 36 millime is way too small." You try on a Datejust for the first time at 36 and you're like, "Okay, this I get it. I understand why this is so popular." Uh, but 41 millime is also available to you. You have the chronog escapement now being a part of the contemporary lineup of Datejust. 3235 movement being pretty standard there. 100 meters of water resistance across both of these. And let's just talk about the different dial colors. I mean, this is about as widespread of optionality as you're going to come across in the industry. You can go for traditional stick markings. You can go for the Wimbledon dials, other Romans, uh different textured layouts for the Datejust. So much to get lost in, so many to consider. You also have the different metal options. Probably one of the best represented ranges to fine-tuning this to your style. And is another reason why the Datejust gets another edge compared to that of the Explorer and the Oyster Perpetual. There are so many combinations with dials, configurations of the case as well as the material itself that allows the Datejust to probably be the best everyday watch from Rolex. So, we spent 15 minutes internally talking about what is the best everyday watch from Rolex. Then, Grand Seiko became a topic and then it a discussion ensued right afterwards because we had the same issue on our hands. There are so many watches from this brand that could qualify as this that we had to almost decompartmentalize all the aspects that make a Grand Seiko watch and what could allow it to really stand out from the rest in this type of categorization. Uh for us, we were thinking potentially what could be some of the drawbacks that could prevent a Grand Seiko from being suitable for this type of video. Some of the textures of Grand Seikos could be a little bit over the top. And I think that's where we would take away from that model and say that it's probably not as suitable. I love a white birch. I love an SPGA 413, but given some of the texture as well as maybe some of the coloration of the dials, might not be as great at representing this idea. Uh then you have the cases and the shapes. Uh is it the right size? Is it going to deliver the right message on that front? uh you probably don't want so all these highly reflective surfaces, harsh lines which are being presented and that's so much of what Grand Seiko is all about this light and shadow. So we arrived at a watch that was at the entry point of spring drive but also doesn't have as crazy of texture. The dial surface is pretty straightforward and you could wear this in pretty much any situation that you throw at it. It's the SPGA 465. This is also known as the Frost Edition. This sits right at that entry point just over $5,000 to get into a spring drive watch. It has the 9R65, same movement as the Four Seasons with the SPGA 413 and the 415. Also the same movement that's in the SPGA 211 Snowflake, which because of the case size, because of what was being presented there, I thought that that maybe wasn't as viable. This also has a little bit of a subtle texture, uh, doesn't have the same recessed power reserve indication, so it's not as eye-catching as maybe that of the Snowflake. Really tough call on this one, but you're getting a 40mm case. I think that's going to work in so many different circumstances. I think regardless of what people say commercially, that is probably the sweet spot for size in the 2025 watch buying market. 12.2 mm in thickness, so reasonable thickness on that front and a 46 mm lug to lug. You also are getting 100 m of water resistance in the process. And then the case itself, it's not going to have as many harsh lines of that of the 44GS, uh the 62GS. And it has still some of these high polish points, but not so much where it might uh detract from the visual representation that you want from a watch that's going to be worn in an everyday circumstance. Now, we move along to Tutor. So, Tutor has probably three options that you could consider for this video. One would be the 1926. Thought that leaned a bit too dressy and traditional in its presentation. So that one was going to be passed on for this. Then you had the Tudtor Ranger. But the Tudtor Ranger has more of this tool oriented watch feel. Didn't feel as refined. It's more of like this brutal tool in its presentation. So that one was also probably not going to be suitable. quickly, you arrive at what is the best choice for this video, and that is the Tutor Black Bay 1. Now, some of you might be saying, "What is the Tutor Black Bay 1?" It's a good question because Tutor has gone so long without classifying this collection with a name. Uh, many people would call this the Tutor Black Bay 36, but that's kind of confusing because it's also available in a variety of different case sizes, 41, 39, 36. This is the new name for this collection. So basically those non-diver Black Bay versions, the Tutor Black Bay 1. When the Tutor Black Bay 1 or the previous generation, we can call it the non-diving Tutor Black Bays, when those were unveiled, they had more of this juvenile appearance. And I don't mean that in a derogatory manner. It's just that they weren't as buttoned up. They didn't have these subtle refinements that come with the newer packages from the Tutor Black Bay 1. When these were updated in the last few years, what you got were better bracelets with what was being presented. Now you have T fit in the package. You have MT calibers. If you remember those smiley dial versions, those had just ETA calibers on the inside. Still very venerable in their ability, but not to the same degree of that of these powered calibers with 70 hours plus of power reserve. Also getting chronometer certifications in the process. So a lot to like here. And then also the dials were a bit more elevated in terms of their sheen, their finish. They also have more of this muted tone. Has like a sunray sunburst finish as well as having way better finishing on the case as well as on that crown. If you remember those 36mm options previously, or I should just say non-diver black bays previously, they had this tube-like system for housing the crown. And that's where I think the subtleties of the design uh take away from more of a luxury presentation. It had charm, but if you want something that feels more of its price, it feels much more luxurious. I think they nailed it with the updates of the tutor Black Bay 1. You have the MT5400 calibers on the inside as I mentioned, which is a huge upgrade. 100 meters of water resistance, different dial colors to choose from. You also have the SMG variants here if you want to go that route. So, similar idea to that of the Datejust. you can fine-tune what is the right option for you. Maybe not so much as for the dial colors, but more so with some of the case options and other considerations. Shifting over to Longines, Longene has some watches here that can certainly make sense. The Sector dials and some of their dress watches despite having 30 m of water resistance are everyday suitable, but because of some of these drawbacks, I don't think are the number one contenders here. Then you have the Spirit Collection. will definitely not include the Zulus because of the birectional bezel maybe being slightly too sporty. Then you have the 37mm Spirits, the other Spirit cases as well. These are right on the cusp of being right there, but I decided not to include those just because they felt a bit too aviation themed and too in alignment with a practical use case that is specific to a specific walk of life rather than all walks of life. and the five stars for some is a bit much and that is also one of the main criticisms of those watches that I hear. I think it's a bit overblown but nevertheless something to bring up. So the watches that I thought were the best choice here were the Conquest models that have really been updated in the last couple of years. The 38 mm options really feel like the sweet spot. They first unveiled in 2023 the 41 mm cases. You had 34mm options as well, but 38 mm came in 2024, different color variants. If you remember the old Conquest series, they had a few peculiar choices about them that still allowed them to be suitable for these day-to-day circumstances, uh, but made them a little unorthodox. You had this large protruding crown with crown guards, uh, the large the very enlarged numerals on the dial. It did have additional water resistance compared to these versions, but didn't really fill the void that I think people were looking for when you were looking at the Conquest series. And the Conquest exists as the Heritage Conquest, which are going to lean into that direction. But these are more for that new watch buyer or someone who's looking for $2,000. What is the best, most versatile watch I can get for that money? This is where this watch delivers. And I think they nailed it with the design. They updated the bracelet way more refined, similar to some of the concepts I talked about earlier about the Black Bay 1. The crown guards are slimmed down, having more of an attractive silhouette if you are trying to wear this in a dressier environment. Still getting 100 m of water resistance, thinner in its case profile, also getting the LE8.5 movement. So, these are going to be calibers with over 70 hours of power reserve. You were also getting ISO compliance to the 764 standard for magnetism. Be multiples of what that standard is going to call for. Nicely faceted markers on the dial with several different dial colors to choose from. I feel like every time I'm introducing a new watch on here, I'm discussing how it was very difficult to decide on a single watch to represent a brand. And same could be said here, and it's for Seikko of all brands. It wasn't because there were so many watches to choose from. Really what it came down to was many Seikko watches have quirks that didn't allow them to be perfect in this video. Uh there's actually a lot of Seikko watches that are able to be worn in an everyday circumstance, but once you get down into it, you recognize that many of them also are so uh shrouded in this character that is so unmistakable in its being Seyo that it actually doesn't maybe make sense for representing what we're talking about here. So, some of the watches I was thinking about SRP 53, some of the dress KX models, but when you look at those, they still are more of this dive watch silhouette despite not having the external rotating bezel. The 4:00 crown position is a little strange. Then another popular piece is the Alpen series. But the Alenus series, even if you go for the SPB17 with the black dial, still is an Alpenist. It has the two crown system compass bezel. There are many things about it that don't necessarily align with the protocol that we're talking about for this video. I'm going to throw out a bold tank for you all. We we've talking a lot about this. Uh this is a part of the Seikko collection that doesn't get talked about as much. It is the SPB463. This is the Prange Craftsmanship series. Uh it's going to be more to an elevated price position, just under $1,000. Right around this price point, too, you have the Sharp Edge collection with the SPB167. That was also another watch that I thought about, but the dial finish just felt a little too much. I thought that that could get in the way of being able to pull this off every single day. It's a bit too expressive. I'm sorry. Now, I'm just trying to key in on more generic looking watches, but that's really what we're talking about here. You have to be a little safe if you're going to work in all of these different environments. So, this is a watch that comes in at 40.2 mm in diameter. Bit more of a dressier appearance. You have this very simple grain back dial. Uh more subdued, muted uh washed out colorways, but still have enough to present itself. This version is going to be even less colorful than others. A lug to lug of 46 mm. Getting this fine length bracelet. I also felt that the fine length bracelet allowed this watch to still work as a bit more sporty. You could put this on a strap and it could lean more formal. But with this fine mesh, it reminded me of some of these old classic 1940s uh dress watches, but still had some ability to enhance itself in presentation. But then in addition, you're getting 100 m of water resistance. And you might not suspect because this does lean a bit dressy. You're not going to feel out of place though if you wore this in a different circumstance with 100 m of water resistance, sapphire crystal. This is a part of the PR lineup. And when you think p, you probably aren't considering that you could wear this outside of formal occasions. But I've always talked about this idea of the extremes in how we collect and how we classify watches. We're so easy in recognizing a dive watch as having everyday viability despite the extreme that it leans towards having 200 300 m of water resistance. When are most people ever going to be confronted with that reality? If you're like me, never. But people tend to like appealing to that extreme because it's nice to know it could work if it did. But why don't we have the same mentality around dress watches, which might appeal a little bit more to one extreme, but not even close to the same extreme. We're not talking about uh going hundreds of meters below the surface. We're talking simply about maybe wearing a collared shirt. uh but we can't rationalize maybe that being something that could work and be applicable to our everyday. That's where I think you can really push for a watch like this. And when you get down into it, so this probably is one of the most versatile Seikko watches, just not talked about that often. Another thing that I'll add about this model, this has the 6R55. So this is going to be a an extended version of power reserve 2 hours, but also a newer generation compared to the 6R35. in one of the entry points to getting this caliber. This is typically seen in watches maybe double the price of this one. This one's currently sitting under $1,000 to get into the 6R55 family. Things that people might argue with me on that one. I totally get it. Uh Seikko is tougher though when you're thinking about a video like this. And with models like the Sarb 033 035 no longer being in production makes it even that much more difficult. So the question of this next watch was not a question of the watch itself. It was a question of the brand and should they be included on this list? Do they have a model that represents what we're going after here and the brand is Cardier and the challenge was what was the watch that could be suitable here? Easiest choice Santos Cardier Santos Day Cardier that felt like the best option to go for but then the question came is it too formal? But then you get down to the historical uh idea around this watch. It was a sports watch first. It was a watch that was intended as a tool and its contributions in 1904, Alberto Santos Dant, what came forth because of this watch and where it sits within the Cardier lineup. It felt like it was appropriate here because you are still getting 100 meters of water resistance, different case options to choose from. You could go uh for this watch on a strap, still looks really nice. You could go with it on a bracelet. You have two-tone options. So, some fine tuning that you could uh bring forth here. probably need to baby this one more than any other watch on the list for a couple of reasons. One, just Cardier in general. When you get one on your wrist, it doesn't feel like a Rolex by any means. It feels like a more delicate type of object uh compared to that of the Oyster case. And then in addition, you have a lot of polish elements towards the interior side of the case that are going to scratch up. So these watches are going to show their wear. But why I love the Santos and I think it deserves to be here is if you remember my first point that I brought up, it has to be able to work in a variety of environments in bringing together refinement uh with some casual ideas. If you look at the Santos for what it is at the center of the dial, you have these Roman numerals. You have the uh kind of beauty that comes with those simplified hour minute hand as well as second hand with a touch of blue. But then you look at the outer shell of the case and you look at this kind of more industrialized process. Uh but it's this fusion of beauty with this brutality about the Santos that I don't think is discussed enough. But it perfectly represents this idea that I think of when talking about an everyday watch. It's just so much more on the nose in how it represents itself. Even the blue jewel capping out the crown and having crown guards. Like everything is this directly opposed idea in its design. Its beauty combined with robustness on every single front. Moving right along, this is probably the easiest choice of any brand thus far. We have Tag Hoyer. And for this we have the Carrera Date. This was the easiest choice probably on this entire list. I didn't think of any other watch here that better represented this idea than the Carrera Date. This is also a watch that's fairly underrated when talking about this whole genre. It is more expensive than some of its competition. It's sitting at $3,600 at the time of recording this video. a lot of things happening with price increases. So, it might go up a bit, but that is towards the higher end of when talking about edabase calibers, celita based calibers towards an area where you're starting to get into that tutor black bay 1 territory. And I think that's why most enthusiasts maybe don't consider this as their top of mind choice. But when you get down into it, these watches definitely can be worn in pretty much any situation. 39 mm for this version, 11.5 mm in thickness, lugto lug of 47 mm. This is like Goldilocks zone for a watch of this styling. 100 meters of water resistance. You have the storyried history of motorsport themes with their chronographs, the Monaco Carrera glass box, but how can you adapt that into a threehand variant? I think TAG nailed it pretty well with this design. It's not going to take any bold risks, but that is why it's also going to be so viable. Now we're talking IWC. IWC, another easy choice. This for me, Mark 20 all day, every single day of the week. This is a different spin though on the everyday watch. It has very easy legibility, black on white, high contrast, but still despite it having a purpose-built element as the original form. Because I brought up earlier about how Long Gene with the Spirit maybe wasn't the best representation, I just don't think there's the same answer here when it comes to IWC. And let's get down into it. I mean, this is a watch that you can absolutely wear every single day. With the Mark 20, they've made some phenomenal upgrades to the package to make it that much more compelling. You have 40 mm for the diameter, thickness of 10.8 mm, and a lug to lug that's shortened down to 49 mm. Not insignificant, but better than that of the Mark 18. On the inside, you have the 32,000 series movements. This is a 5day power reserve movement, 120 hours. And then as another upgrade for the Mark 20 compared to the Mark1 18, you're getting now 100 m of water resistance. When you look at watches from this original military context and why they were created, as you start to see them at that purest form, and there have been many different spins and uh takes on these styles of watches, but at their purest form, you see how at the end of the day, they're all about their ability to be able to indicate time easy. They can work and blend in simply. That was part of the use case. Uh so when you combine both of those ideas with the robustness that comes in mind, that could be the case for a field watch. I have a whole video talking about how those watches are so important and are also so viable even today. The same can be said for pilots watches. If you look back at the early Mark series watches, those produced in 1948 for the RAF, the design principles there, yes, they worked in a military context, but they also work with practicality uh for the everyday, even for those that are not in those situations. And now with the Mark 20, you have different colors, you have the bracelets, which are overlooked. IWC is probably more of a strap brand than a bracelet brand. That is not dismissing what is being done currently with their bracelets because I think they are actually some of the best in their class uh with the on the-fly adjustment with the button on the IWC clasp. Uh it's really slick. Love how these watches just feel on the wrist and the Mark 20 is probably the best mark yet. Now, we've been bouncing around different price ranges, looked at a lot of luxury watches. Let's go to two of the staples of entrylevel Swiss mechanical watches. I'm going to start here with Tisso. What is the wash from Tisso for the everyday that makes the most sense? Now, with all the craze around the PRX, some people might be saying PRX, PRX, PRX. I have a comparison video talking PRX versus the Tisso Gentleman. And in that video, I recalled saying that yes, the PRX is probably going to be the choice of many, and that's probably where most people will go when deciding between these two watches, if that's where you find yourself uh being split between. But the truth is the gentleman is better as being an everyday watch most likely if we're trying to think about the simple way of defining that type of term. It doesn't have this integrated design. It looks more at home on a strap compared to that of the PRX. The PRX feels a bit too tied to its bracelet. Uh you're still getting 100 m of water resistance in the process. You have an elevated version of the ET07 movement on the inside. This is the 811 with the silicon balance spring to go along with it, which you'll see that small little SI by the balance assembly. 11.6 mm in thickness, 48.6 mm for that lug to lug dimension. Still getting a sapphire crystal, finely faceted hour markers on the dial. This was a watch that I think unfortunately just came out at a time when the PRX just took over the entire industry under $1,000. Like that was the watch for like a year online. You're talking about an entry-level mechanical Swiss watch. The PRX was everywhere. And then you had the Gentleman priced slightly above it where people just overlooked it completely. It didn't have the same character of that of the PRX. It didn't have the same hype affiliated with it because it wasn't an integrated steel sports watch. But once all the dust settles and you just get into the core reason why someone might be looking to buy a watch. If this is your reasoning every day consideration, the Gentleman probably scratches that itch more than that of the PRX. Both are phenomenal representations of that. You have to define and figure out what you are. But the Gentleman is a safer choice and that comes with maybe having a little less character in the process. But you have some different dial colors to choose from. Still getting great robustness in the package. 100 meters of water resistance. sapphire crystal and a lot to like from the visual details as you get closer in the markers and how it's finished. The movement also being elevated. Uh the gentleman now has become slightly underrated because of the PRX's success. And now for our final watch under $1,000. Now prices are changing all the time, but these are sitting right around that $1,000 price point. Even less so for the 38 mm versions. There is not a single watch under $1,000 that better represents this title of video, what we're trying to get after here, and that is the Hamilton Khaki Field Murf. So, why does this watch work? Why do so many people adore it? First, probably the whole lore around Interstellar definitely does a lot of the heavy lifting, but when you get down to it, there are plenty of movie watches out there that are flashes in the pan and nobody cares about them. The reason why the Murf is successful is actually not because of Interstellar. I think it's a nice add-on, but at the core of it, it's just a phenomenal watch for someone who is confronting themselves with a buying decision, looking for something that can work for them around $1,000 to spend. What are you looking for typically? What's the common path that I see people going down when they have this amount of money to spend? Chances are they have some other watches, maybe at different prices, maybe some above, maybe some below, and they want to get into Hamilton for the first time. And you know what is the watch that checks off the most boxes? The Murf. Another reason somebody might get into the Murf is that they've saved up some money and they want to get the best, most complete watch for $1,000 that can work in every circumstance. They want to wear it to the office. They want to wear it uh more casually, maybe for a date night, and never feel like it's out of place. That is where the Murf is able to become this famous icon now. And I think it really qualifies as that. This is the bestselling Hamilton watch. Uh for us, and I think for Hamilton, I can think I can speak that now. This is just an unbelievable piece. It's not going to have the same historical importance as some of their other field watch like the Khaki Field Mechanical uh in its connection uh to the 20th century and what it was able to contribute on the battlefield. But this is a watch that when you're talking about the modern watch buyer around $1,000, this is where the Murf really thrives. It has this perfect bridge to the past of Hamilton representing this field watch DNA. It is still a khaki feel, but these modifications of refinement in the package I think have really gone a long way. The cathedral hands is a nice enhancement, but they're not so overdone where they get in the way of what is being presented. the numerals and how it's not going to be overly cluttered with the 24-hour and the 12-hour display. There's a hint at the khaki fieldwatch language, but it's not so overdone where it starts to become too cluttered on the dial and become casual as a result of it. And let's also keep in mind that 50 m of water resistance is the standard for the khaki field mechanical. The autos get 100 m of water resistance, but the Murf delivers on 100 m. You also have a bracelet option, and this watch just works better on a bracelet than other khaki models. I think it just looks phenomenal. You also have the straps to choose from that which will make it even more compelling for the packages. You have a white dial version. You have a 42mm option, 38 mm option, both bracelets on the 38 and 42. So now they've completed this collection. This was just 5 years ago a singular watch, but now it's a force to be reckoned with. not just for Hamilton, but really for the entire genre of go anywhere, do anything watches. But all right, guys, that is our video here today looking at the top everyday watches from major brands.
