The BEST Moon Phase Watches From Attainable To Luxury (16 Watches Mentioned)

[@billb.2673]

Teddy, at 54 years old I'm just "getting into" watches, after raising 4 kids and finally finding myself with a bit of disposable income to spend on myself. I stumbled up your channel quite by accident and have found your videos to be so incredibly helpful as I navigate this journey. Thanks very much for this exceptional content.

[@MarazAmc]

It honestly makes me feel GREAT that I’m 33, raising 3 children, in love with watches I can’t afford and therefore can’t attain and enjoy, and a 54 year old guy is finally able to spend some of his sweat on himself and is HAPPY! It makes it a lot easier to to enjoy viewing and learning, and take my time to save up and get pieces I will really enjoy. PS; cheers to you for making your children your primary expense for as long as you have and sacrificing things you obviously wanted, and waiting until your children could carry themselves. You’re a good man, a good father, and I LOVE sharing hobbies with people who have such honourable trait’s. May you be blessed with your favourite JLC, Vacheron or A. Lang soon ❤️

[@johnnyguitar6697]

Well done, Sir. Raising 4 kids, I take my hat off to you. I wish you an enjoyable journey in the watch world. Me, I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum, having had my first kid this year, aged 52. God willing, he might get siblings, so it's a good thing I managed to build my collection as disposable income dries up.

I would love a moon phase watch!

[@truthseeker7867]

Love moon phases. The Lange 1 moon phase is, IMHO, the most beautiful watch I have ever seen. It’s stunning. I wish more companies would adopt the day/night complication behind the moon. It’s exquisite.

[@randybrickson4290]

The Lange is indeed the pick of the litter.

[@diehardgopher4253]

Its a shame that only the Lange 1 moon phase looks that good, I wish all of Lange's moon phases looked like that. Its a completely moot point of course since I won't be able to afford any of these but I wish the Langematik perpetual, , datopgraph perpetual, saxonia annual calendar and saxonia moonphase had the moon phase from the lange 1 instead of their normal moonphase. The blue us much more rich and the stars are painted with much greater detail on the lange 1 compared to their other moonphase offerings.

[@jpdemer5]

That Raymond Weil is gorgeous, and actually quite affordable - under $1,000 from some sellers. And 9.8 mm thin, which I want to see in a dress watch. The version with the grey-black dial is stunning - that one goes straight onto my wish list.

[@kalekhalili8130]

Crazy I just wrote on one of his recent vids that I just got a Raymond Weil moonphase. White face maestro and for the price it is a really really good value

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

That Christopher Ward is absolutely the most beautiful Moonphase I have seen. Definitely something I am saving up for.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Perhaps my favorite they make.

[@duffydon1741]

Absolute beaut, next level craftsmanship especially for the price, on point size, that's got to be their baddest watch

[@Cryzallite]

If the CW is your style, the Arnold & Son HM Perpetual Moon would blow your mind.

[@porsche911c]

I own one, and it's definitely worth it in my opinion! So cool.

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

@@porsche911c thanks!!

[@DrWesterdahl]

I love and own the Longines Master Calendar Chrono for its Moon Phase, but also for all the other complications it comes with blended together in one beautifully designed elegance of a watch. It is a great value for the price for a classic moon phase watch.

[@skyhigh9474]

What color

[@jonathanilagan7778]

The orient star contemporary moomphase is really nice too! Similar texture as the zenith on its regular production models and fairly sporty too. In the metal, the finishing is amazing! I got my Limited MOP "nebula" dial one for the equivalent of 875USD and I'd say that the fit and finish is approaches gs levels (70-80% maybe??). Great time piece! Though some don't like the open heart and power reserve, I really like how they all come together on this piece. Worth checking out!! I also really like the white and black textured dial versions of this, but I gotta say I like the nebula is my fave

[@thecombckid]

The Longines master collection chrono is my grail watch. Thanks for including it in this list

[@KVDC2008]

12:13 So glad that you included the Rolex Cellini Moonphase watch. That one is my favorite out of the entire Rolex collection and so underrated. It's really the only watch in their Cellini line that is generally not available at authorized dealers and you need either be on a wait list or pay a little bit above retail in the secondary market to obtain one immediately.

[@Hnair1982]

Nice content Teddy. My favorite is the Master Calendar from JLC. The jumping date hand 15-16, is a hidden complication just to highlight the moon phase even more

[@younusimam-thesalamproject6340]

Moonphases are super useful for Muslims, especially during Ramadan, Eid and other Religious observances as they use a moon calendar. Also useful in predicting tides.

[@gladlawson61]

never considered the tide.

I really appreciate the value proposition of the Longines piece, and every time I see both the GO and the Lange, my heart skips a beat. Thank you, Teddy. Could you at some point do a deep dive into Longines’ dress watches for men? Again, thank you.

[@curtisfox1487]

My first and only moon phase was a Certina DS-8 Chrono Moon phase. It's only a quartz, but Swiss quality. Beautifully done with a many layered dial really makes it pop. But what really set it off for me was the moon phase calendar. It shows the day of the moon phase as well as the Qtr, first, full, last Qtr, and new moons which makes it really cool. I was surprised no perpetual calendars were on here. The Frederique Constant is on my list!

[@joeblackwolf17]

Teddy you don’t stop to amaze me with the great content. Good job to you and the team

[@asambi69]

JLC Ultra Thin Moon...One of my Grails for sure.

[@MohammadAWaly]

My favourite complication! Adds a lot of elegance to the dial, and I actually use it… I’m definitely saving this video. Some great suggestions to consider, I’ve been wanting a moonphase for quite a while

[@dakodak7]

I bought the Glycine with blue dial about 2 months ago for 400$. Really a good deal. Finishing is impressive for this level. You are right to say it wears smaller.

[@justineslick5557]

Just picked up a Longness Master Collection Moonphase piece over the weekend, absolutely love it.

[@petervik5399]

I also purchased the Longines white dial moon phase in Australia two weeks ago, it is the best complication I have. Cheers all.

Love the moonphase on my Eterna watch. Very helpful in planning when I turn into a werewolf.

[@paulvpokemon9217]

I love the JLC, the most immaculate and elegant example of a moonphase watch I have seen. I'm looking at the more modest Oris Artelier Complication, along with some of the examples you gave, such as the Junghans, Longines, and Raymond Weil.

[@sinjon]

I’m currently looking at the Artelier also. Probably the only Oris I’d get

@@bikerd72 I like the Montblanc too, but I'm a sucker for a blue dial, and the the smaller size too, 40mm is usually the largest that works for me.

[@thedondeluxe6941]

I'm very happy with my Glycine Combat Moonphase. I have the other version without numbers but with lume, and I can't recommend it enough. Super comfortable, great bracelet and solid, reliable movement. Great everyday watch.

[@gangstaaxamos]

Wow, Teddy. U are absolutely right. The Lange at the end is gorgeous. The contrast and negativ space is amazing. Thanks for your videos. Keep up your great work!!

[@davidborg5324]

I love the moonphase complication. I also need it as a healthcare worker, full-moon night shifts are to be avoided at all costs. I have been eyeing the Raymond Weil Moonphase for a while. Waiting to find the ideal excuse to pull the trigger. Great videos Teddy. Regards from Malta.

[@lebronjohnson6735]

Why do u need to avoid full moon shifts? Are u a Werewolf or sth? :D

[@kalekhalili8130]

Did you get one yet??? I just did and for the price man it’s hard to beat. Maestro white face with blue strap and hands

[@MAELOB]

The Cellini is the only Rolex I would ever buy but love the Glashutte the most, and it even has lume 😉

[@alroy7335]

Should also consider the Frederique Constant slimline moonphase. Blue dial looks just as good as the JLC for a third of the price

[@mproductionsmusik]

The A.Longe at the end is a real beauty! very interesting style and design. Everything is well balance on the dial just perfect.

[@tattoofthesun]

Cool fact about the JLC - there’s a collab option with JBL that includes a Bluetooth speaker right in the watch. Plugs in with your standard phone charger on the side w a rubber cap cover.

[@homefink2235]

Two moonphase watches are my favorites. The shown JLC Master ultra thin moonphase and the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712. Especially the white gold version. This has such a cool and Understatement style.

[@BraxtonM1]

I am about to purchase a moon phase second hand JLC master Ultra thin; eventually I’ll get the perpetual calendar one day. 😁

[@Lexcoaster]

One gorgeous moonphase watch is the Christiaan van der Klaauw Real Moon Joure, which has the most accurate 3D moonphase in the world and only needs to be adjusted once in 11.000 years. :) It's a beautiful design but as you can imagine it is not cheap. Van der Klaauw watches specialise in astronomical complications.

[@BrianLueken]

I fell for the Omega Moonwatch Moonphase. Love it but was hard to choose between that and their Worldtimer. That one’s next on the list.

[@carlmullender2941]

I have a Chr Ward Moon Glow on order, when it is on your wrist the 3D moon effect is stunning, really beautiful and you can get it with a complimentary 'bling" Milanese bracelet 😀

[@drewsleyy3836]

have never clicked so fast!! Thanks for making an update of this video, Teddy

[@eldeeyell]

My wife got me the Oris Artix Complication Moonphase (black dial on a black leather strap) for our wedding about 5 years back. I think that it's amazing value for money, and is just outstanding quality overall. :)

[@augustojoseramonpinochetug5235]

I love that JLC! But, 2 other watches worth mentioning: IWC Portofino moonphase Cartier Drive Cheers

[@alamohamed8485]

As always. Very nice, informative and entertaining. I would like to make 2 remarks. Moon phase complications can be very useful in cultures that observe lunar calendar. I use it all the time for this purpose. Which brings the second point. I had surveyed the market 2 yrs back and chose the CW moonglow for practical and aesthetic points. The practical point being the ability to read the lunar date with ease.

[@petewatchcollector]

That Lange 1 moonphase is gorgeous. I like the G.O. for 1/4 the price, although the curve on the large date indicator, compared to the squared off windows of the Lange, may be something that I can't 'unsee'. Thanks for the review Teddy!

[@thebritishindian1]

Thanks for this video Teddy. I’ve been interested in astrology for over a decade and knowing the moon phase at any time of the month is critical for certain types of astrology readings. I’ve looked at the Christopher Ward one for a while and I may pull the trigger on that one day.

[@_Florin]

Some years ago I purchased RW Maestro Moonphase from a Belgium online store that had a sale, and still to this day that watch is my go to dress watch.

[@phillipesmart]

Also love the Edox Les Vaouberts Moonphase 80505 - 42mm with Sellita movement - economical and great finishing. But of the above, the Meistersinger attracts me.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

If you live in a region that uses both solar and lunar calendars, I tell you it's damn satisfying to see a full moon on a lunar holiday and actually see the moon phase dial match the calendar.

[@levvy16]

I want that Christopher ward one, especially now that they changed the logo on the dial it looks so much cleaner. just wish the transparent screen was a bit less transparent

[@greghudgens203]

A couple watches I’m shocked not to see mentioned: JLC Reverso Duoface Tribute Moon Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase I think I’ve even seen that JLC in one of your videos with Kevin. And then the moon phase on the moon watch? I know it’s not for everyone but I love the juxtaposition

[@radidoc4832]

Nice video! I always wanted a moonphase, and I think you should also mention one of Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch with moonphase, just to be complete. Most of them were too big at 44 and 45mm for my taste, however. I am hoping Omega comes up with smaller (42mm or less) moonphase speedmaster soon!!

[@manueljnegrete5048]

Hi Teddy, I am very late to the party but I immediately thought about the Glycine Moonphase and you showed it first . I have the Glycine in a dark blue and love it. I had a Airman but never adjusted to the 24 hour dial. This Glycine Moonphase I consider as the very best buy I got and it is in my rotation solidly along with two Seamasters and some other very popular watches. To top it off I purchased the Glycine new for $300 a couple years ago. I love your Ball moonphase. Thanks for your excellent presentation as always.

[@doublewides]

Thrilled to see this review. I love moonphases and either the Glashutte or the JLC will one day make the collection.

[@SiCutler]

Great content and crisp editing as per usual Teddy 👌. I love the moonphase but with other watches in my collection it just wouldn't stay accurate as an automatic. I went for the Tidal Moonphase by Sekoni and love it.

[@scottfulps2065]

Moonphase are top tier for me. When I am retired and an older gentleman I will be wearing a simple Breguet moonphase and that's good for me.

[@JB-ou6fl]

I like the Raymond Weil Maestro moonphase watch. It looks gorgeous and is relatively affordable. The version with the dark dial (not featured on this video) looks stunning in my opinion.

[@andreraffla5555]

love the moonphase complication, i also agree that it is by far the best complication in terms of visual appeal. My fav moon phase was actually one not mentioned in this video, the ball trainmaster moon phase, in either blue or black. Beautiful watch from a brand rich in history and has a great movement that's well decorated for the price range in my opinion. I also love the unique crown and their distinctive seconds hand and of course their use of trillium. No moon phase really competes for me personally until we get to the $10k range for the likes of the a. lange and zohne ect.

[@adamchieko]

I own that exact Glycine Combat. I agree its not the most elegant moonphase, but photos don't do that sunburst dial justice. I've found it to be a very solid everyday watch

[@JagerXIII]

I’m more of a oyster perpetual and datejust kinda guy, but this moon phase rolex is absolutely stunning!

[@adamf8335]

I cant understand why Raymond Weil barely ever gets a mention from any channel. I only own one but the Moonphase here for example had the most beautiful dial and the price was fantastic. Also I have to give a big shout out to that Orient Sun and Moon, what brilliant value. I own an Oris Artelier Moonphase, white guilloche dial with Blue indices and strap, another beautiful watch that gets overlooked. You cant beat a Moonphase for elegance!

[@Max.Effect]

My favorite has to be this JLC. Just simplicity, elegance, and a great brand. I really like moonphase, but find it difficult to wear without a suit.

[@leoberg2390]

I'm literally looking for a quartz moon phase, please make a video about it because i don't want to set such complication every time i wear it

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of amzwatch. Their watches are of exceptional quality.

[@harmoniaartificiosa]

I have the Longines Master complete calendar chronograph, but the one with the blue dial and silver hands. I can hardly take my eyes off it, when it’s on the wrist.

[@Gold_Stadt]

My favourites are the GO Panomatic Lunar in blue and the Schaumburg Watch Moon Meteorite. 🤩

[@ElPitch90]

I recently bought a Baume 10637 Moonphase, I know it's a quartz so the movement is not that exciting, but the dial is the best looking one in the under 1000€ segment.

[@nielsenrivera457]

That A.Lange is the one to get if money was no object. Absolutely gorgeous looking watch. Same thing with the JLC, so elegant and clean! However, based on price alone, I’m currently considering the FC CLASSICS HEART BEAT MOONPHASE DATE FC-335MCGRW4P26 in green on green strap. Love how it looks and a lot of watch for the $$$

[@pt192]

I just purchased the Longines 1832 moon-phase in black. It’ll be a great dress watch!

The Lange Saxonia Moon Phase is my grail, easily the most beautiful watch I've ever seen.
