So, you’re a man, and you’re trying to figure out what kind of watch you should buy. You’ve figured out all the practical details, the brand, the movement and complications — all that. But now, you’re left with the most pressing issue of all: What color watch should I buy?
Fear not, gentleman! Albert’s Diamond Jewelers offers timepieces from 14 of the most prestigious brands on the market, as well as certified pre-owned timepieces. Scouring their site, we’ve found a few examples for you to consider:
1. Blue – Bulova “Classic Watch 98C123”
Blue is the color of the calm man. Neuroscientists have found that blue can relieve stress and instill peace better than any other color, meaning that choosing the Bulova Classic 98C123 is a choice for a man who wants to be a refined center of stability for the places he goes, placid as the water of the Caribbean and as deep as the ocean. It doesn’t hurt, either, that most men (by a large margin) and women (by a smaller one) report that blue is their favorite color.
2. Black – Breitling “Superocean Héritage Chronoworks”
“Check out the man in black over there.”
The most mysterious of colors, black evokes night and secrecy. While the man who chooses this timepiece by Breitling may not have that many secrets to keep from a party’s hoi polloi, he’ll certainly keep an air of mystery around him when he comes into the room wearing a Superocean Héritage Chronoworks timepiece that’s as black as midnight.
3. Copper – Movado “Edge Watch 3680023”
Gold with the passion of red added, copper is a luxurious color for a lion of a man who wants to catch all the attention in the room. Definitely, there’s something to be said for the artistic uniqueness of the Movado Edge 3680023, but the real eye-catching glamor of the timepiece comes from how striking the color will come off against a man’s wrist or his clothing.
4. Silver – Raymond Weil “Freelancer 2780-STC-65001”
A noble metal in the same family as gold, silver is a good choice for the man who wants to retain a sense of personal gravitas without being as brash as the man who wears gold. Traditionally, silver has been linked to wisdom and understated grace, but the beauty of this Raymond Weil timepiece really highlights the fact that “understated” isn’t the same as “boring”.
5. Green – Rado “True 01.115.0233.3.131”
A fresh look for a man’s fresh tastes. Green is the color of growth, progress, and life. Wearing a green timepiece, like the above piece from the Rado “True” collection, is the equivalent of celebrating the joy of life in a truly personal and verdant way. Pick green if you want a watch that comes off as uniquely fun and charming in a masculine way.
