20 PERFECT One Watch Collection Watches!

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

What do you guys think? Did I miss any?!

[@rohitsinha7430]

Yes.. you missed the Hamilton Khaki field auto. Its a great everyday watch.

[@streamzor]

To me the closest thing I can get to an objective answer would be the VC Overseas. You get a mix of sporty and elegant, and can completely change the look ad feel of the watch since it comes with the SS bracelet, leather strap, and rubber strap. You are also going to spend considerably less than a 222. I just think this verstility without buying aftermarket straps is unmatched.

I recently bought the Hydroconquest GMT in black. Great watch, great to wear! Got me already a lot of attention.

[@verde629]

IWC Mark XX should definitely be in this list. Just got mine in blue with the bracelet and I’m in love

Seiko Prospex Alpinist 1959 reimagination. I wear it everyday and I am hypnotised by its beauty. I am lucky enough to also have a submariner, superocean, seamaster and a number of watches you featured, but this is my one watch for everything.

[@hammalamiri12]

It’s a great watch

[@Roland_4012]

In my opinion the the pricing of the IWC Ingenieur is insane. It costs about twice the price of the IWC Mark XX that uses the same movement and isn’t (much) inferior in terms of fit and finish. I could have accepted €1,000 or perhaps €2,000 for the Genta design and hype but a premium of €6,200 to me is - as I already said - just insane.

[@hammalamiri12]

I would say the price of the mark xx is quite insane also

[@N.Leander]

I agree those 20 would make a nice collection indeed!!

[@Gianni4t]

Agree with you about the Cartier. I wear mine regularly. Depends the kind of work you do. Could make an argument that the Tank Francaise is more suited for this video with the recessed crown; less likely to snag it on something. What do you make of the 3 ATM water resistance?

[@imadhartleben]

My experience with NKUWAN was fantastic. The watch arrived quickly and was exactly as described.

[@khunjeau8393]

Thanks Harrison! Great picks! The Santos de Cartier would be my ultimate one watch if it wasn’t such a scratch magnet..

[@cdaack]

Embrace the scratches, my friend. I have and it’s changed my life for the better.

[@antonk6278]

Personally I think the datejust jubilee should be on the list as well, can be sporty, yet elegant and has a very useful ever-day feature (the date)

[@cookingwithwatches]

I would agree with you on Daytona if it was with black dial. Also how could you skip Explorer? 😊

[@dado380]

Daytona is the king.I Hate Hublot but my god when I first saw this watch I was left speechless.I just love Hublot Fusion Orlinski chrono.Amazing micro blasted titanium with perfect triangle motif braclet and spectacular decagon case.For me the most beautiful chrono in the world,such an innovative design with state of the art technology inside this watch. Now I get IT Hublot!!

[@Stian1342]

[@Slickrickyb654]

Great video! You probably don’t want to add too many of the same brand but I would add the Rolex GMT, thats my daily feels good in all situations and good for traveling.

[@Matt_Laine]

Bought my PRX last year and I absolutely love it. I have huge hands and the 41 mm looks and fits perfectly

[@dr.davidmiller6682]

I’ve got the Cartier Tank Must and I’d say that it’s robust enough to be used as a daily watch, although I wouldn’t necessarily wear it to the beach or for gardening etc. The stainless bracelet and case, while sleek is well made. By the way, a year ago, I added a Hydro Conquest to my collection, which I WOULD wear to the beach or gardening, but I just found out about the upgrade to GMT and the bracelet reconfiguration. I’ve found that flap to be a nail breaker! What to do!! I can’t at this point go out and get another HC. I’ll have to wear it a while and upgrade at a later time. Seems like we’r eon the same page. with some of our watch choices! Oh, one other thing! The Tissot Gentleman is much sturdier built than the PRX. Not Genta inspired, but great bang for the buck!

[@simondiprose6898]

I own and love the speedy but it lacks the water resistance to be a perfect one watch collection.

Really enjoyed this Harrison. Like your multi tasking skills of making coffee at the same time 😁. I would had an explorer or explorer II instead of one of the Chronographs 👍

[@gregthomson7889]

Great review.There is a difference between a 1 watch collection and a watch that people will buy if they can only buy 1 watch.Logines and Tag are at the top of the list with Longines being a better 1 watch collection and Tag being a watch that more people only buy one watch.

Thank you so much nkuwan for taking us shopping🛍…my wish list just got longer

[@anthonystevens8683]

All good options Harrison (as always). One... well two addition(s) that I think are certainly worth considering include the now discontinued Tudor BB 36 black dial and the evergreen Rolex Explorer in 36. Great case finishes and brilliantly readable at a glance. GADA watches that look cool regardless of the event.

I would have liked to see the NOMOS Club and/or Tangente models on your list. Both offer exceptional value for money. And as an alternative for the very pricey IWC Ingenieur, the Mark XX would have been a good addition to the list as well. After all, the IWC Flieger watches are at least nearly as iconic as the Genta Ingenieur models.

Excellent Video!!!! It allows me to see the perspective of other Watch Collectors!!!! But I would not have titled the video "The Perfect One Watch Collection", coz a collection, as the word indicates, is when you have several items that are similar among them. And one watch/item doesn't fill that description. I would had titled it The Best 20 Watches To Start your Collection!!!! Its strange for me that the Blancpain Fifthy Fathoms was not there, I would have included that one instead of the Submariner. But that is MHHO. But still, the list WAS FANTASTIC!!! And I liked the description given here for many of these models, and the take was excellent for the details!!!! And I liked even more for the # 1- Selection- The Omega Speedmaster "Moonwatch". I myself used to have 19 different variations of the Speedmaster, starting with a 145-012-67 with Caliber 321 that I got used in 1970, then a MarkII in 1972, and also included the 125 Anniversary that was the first Automatic Chronograph with Chronometer Certification with cal 1041, some 176.014s with Caliber 1045, and the Holy Grail that I lamentably sold, the 376-0822!!!! Now, I only have two, a 1980ish Moonwatch with cal 861, and a 2005 Co-Axial Chronometer with caliber 3313 or so. I have always loved Chronographs, my very first one, an Automatic Seiko Chrono my dad brought me from Japan in 1969, that I eventually learned, was the First Automatic Chrono ever made, with Vertical Clutch, Column Wheel, Magic Lever Auto Winding, and day/date!!!!!! I still have parts of that watch!!!!! Yes, my favorite Chronos have been Omega first, then Seiko. I used to have a Rolex 6265 "Paul Newman" with cal 72, but It was a lemon, so I sold it, no regrets, but my Omegas, there were something different!!!!

[@MrNorcal81]

I dont know about rankings necessarily because personal taste and price are always factors. I have a 21 year old Omega Seamaster 300 with the sword hands. It's never been serviced and still runs at a +1 second average per day. It's a great all around watch. I grew up during the US space program from Mercury to Gemini to Apollo. Because of that, my real prize is my Omega Speedmaster Pro Sapphire with its incredible 3861 movement. It too runs at +1 second per day with winding every other day. Its bracket is gorgeous and taoers from 20mmm to 15mm. I've worn it casually and with a sport jacket or suit and It looks right at home. When someone sees it and realizes what it is, and its history he usually wants to get a better look at it. One thing about the bracelet. As opposed to the older bracelets which were more "utility" like, the new one is a bit shinier and more dressy. I'm getting an Artem sailcloth strap with the Omega like deployment clasp delivered tomorrow and may use it for some everyday wear. I've always liked the way that my various chronographs over the years have looked on a solid black strap. It gives them more of that classic "tool"" feel.

[@fringetimex8021]

The first watch to the mooon 7 august 1971, simultaneously with Omega, was actually the Bulova Lunar Pilot. The Omega Speedmaster didn’t survive, while the Bulova Lunar Pilot did. Bulova partnered with NASA from mid-1950s to the late 1970s. Bulova helped NASA engineering mechanics for all sorts of instruments, using Bulova’s Accutron technolog (ref. Bulova’s homepage). Both watches was carried by astronaut Dave Scott. At the time of the lunar miseion he excact model name for Bulova’s watch was «Bulova Accutron». It was the only privately owned watch reaching the moon.Todays Bulova Lunar Pilot is a remake of it. The one and only original Bulova Accutron was the one Dave Scott carried. It was later sold at an auction for $ 1 625 000,-.

Good list - although while the 222 is grail status for many - I think in the classification of "all arounder/one watch collection" - the VC Overseas would have been the better choice to feature. Just given the fact that you have 150m of water resistence, anti-magnetic, steel case, 3 bracelet options that come with the watch, etc. Would I trade my Overseas for a 222 if given the chance at retail? Absolutely. But that wouldn't qualify it as a better overall perfect one watch collection.
