Teddy I don’t know if you have already done this but I would love to see a “newly graduated watch” list. It would have to be affordable watches that someone just out of college could afford, a watch that would be great for everyday use, and something that could potentially stand out in an interview.

[@kevinlevin3479]

Good to see another video that caters to people who still appreciate vintage proportions. You say that dress watches have become less of a thing in the last few years. I had to wonder what you meant by the last few years. When I was growing up in the 60s and 70s most men wore a dress watch. But from the mid to late 70s sportier watches crept in.

I bought a Tissot gentleman a few months ago, very solid piece for a dress watch and pretty high bang for buck having a silicon hairspring at this price range, loving it ever since I bought it and is now my everyday watch.

Have you faced any issues with your watch ?

[@俊毅陳-v6p]

@@kodoaok626 Not anything that I am aware of except a few straches here and there, it does run slighty faster than standard time though, I think it can be be calibrated if I wish to do so, otherwise it's my go to watch when I'm working.

[@sylinmino]

Great video, Teddy! The only thing I would've added is that around 2500-2600 USD, you can also get a quartz Cartier Tank Solo, which is a super accessible entrypoint to one of the most quintessential dress watches ever made!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

@@TeddyBaldassarre ooh the Solarbeat looks amazing! Same here. Getting a Louis Cartier case at Solo price will be incredible.

[@willburrows8834]

The new large quartz Tank Must looks incredible. The case looks almost exactly like the old platinum Louis cartier cases, for 2k! It’s a no brainier for a dress watch.

[@60zeller]

Also a quartz Grand Sieko GMT

[@sylinmino]

@@60zeller oh yeah, those do start right at the 3000 USD mark! Only thing is I think those are more of a sports watch than a dress one.

[@chrisdavis8399]

Thanks so much for highlighting dress watches Teddy! I absolutely love that Bulova Breton!

[@bradentraub]

My Junghans Maxbill Chronoscope (purchased on Teddy's recommendation) was the watch that made me fall in love with classical dress watches. Absolutely love it.

[@davidbrunken7600]

Well that’s just great... Didn’t really have a necessity nor a deep interest in dress watches. 21:33 later, not only did I realize I have both a need and an interest, but now I’m a “sector dial enthusiast!” Thanks a lot, Teddy.

[@JesusTorres-jw8ep]

I have the same Seiko Presage Auto in the sandy pink powder dial. It looks like you are on the beach. I love the markers. Glad you mentioned it. Perfect for my 7.25 wrist and perfect for yours. It is a banger watch for the money.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

My dress watches of choice are the Hamilton Intramatic, Junghans Max Bill line or the Junkers Bauhaus design watches. I really like these for their versatility and quality at a reasonable price point of between $500 to $1000 Oh yes and the Christopher Ward C63 line are also very nice.

[@michaelperry289]

Perfect examples! I was thinking of both the Intramatic and the Max Bill.

[@User_10199]

Thanks for the seiko dolce mention in one of your other videos i purchased it and i fell in love with the smaller classical sizes and the dial and specs is outstanding, thank you!

The B&M Clifton Baumatic just oozes Rolex Cellini vibes. Haha - thanks for the perfect start to a beautiful weekend.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Thank you for watching!

[@happywanderer5632]

Bingo, you nailed it. I was wondering why it was so appealing and you're exactly right, it hits all those Cellini notes.

[@DaveEyl]

Bought one last year and it is a wonderful watch. Quite the strap monster as well

[@anthonystevens8683]

Some really great options here Teddy, I certainly love the Lingines Sector dial, I came very close to getting one last weekend but the Longines Tuxedo 3 hand won out by a whisker as not only does it look good and classic there is nothing in my collection that looks even slightly similar. I do find myself drawn to the Hamilton and the revised Tissot Visodate ( have the old 2824 based one) more as well. Keep up the great work Teddy.

[@jimlittle5769]

@Teddy I gifted the green Maestro I bought from your website last year to my nephew. He started working in real estate and I figured he needed a nice beginner dress watch. He loves it and I may have created a new watch enthusiast.

[@sam_the_man]

For me the problem with modern dress watches is that they’ve gotten a little bit too far toward the “big and thick” end of the scale in a lot of cases. Dress watches are supposed to be subtle, classy, and understated whilst being beautiful and elegant at the same time. They’re not supposed to be wrist bling. And they’re not supposed to be so big or thick that they’re on show literally all the time because you simply can’t fit them under the cuff of your shirt. They’ve become garish and pretentious. It feels like people these days think that the correct size for a dress watch for their their wrist is one that fills the entire width of it. And to me that kinda feels like it defeats the point of a dress watch. I suspect this is why so many people are buying vintage watches from eBay and places like that these days. I wish more makers would go back to making 35-39mm dress watches that are maybe 8mm or 9mm thick max. They don’t even need to be automatic because it’s not like you’ll be wearing them all day, every day. So you’ll probably end up hand winding them every time you wear them regardless. I just bought a lovely little 35mm watch from the 60’s with a really great looking domed, grey sunburst dial and separate day and date complications at 3 and 6 o’clock similar to a Seikomatic Weekdater but a little fancier. It’s got a hand winding movement and honestly it’s SO thin. Without the domed crystal I bet the case is no thicker than 5mm. I really wish there were watches like that still being made, instead of 44/45mm monstrosities that look like you’re wearing a satellite dish on the end of your arm lol.

[@billybenson3834]

I have big wrists yet I really don't care much for the oversized look, I have wall clocks that are smaller in appearance.

[@justinlangley9522]

Completely agree with this ! 35 - 40 mm watches with a max 46 - 48 lug to lug with a max thickness of 10mm is ideal! Satellite dish on the wrist made me chuckle and deserved the like!

[@Bkesal14]

What are some watches you'd suggest that fit your criteria? I.e. smaller case size, slimmer profile, vintage aesthetics?

[@sam_the_man]

@@Bkesal14 it’s been a long time since I posted that comment, and I think it would seem that in the meantime some companies have really caught on to the prevailing consumer sentiment. I think at the higher end of the budget, the Longines _Conquest Heritage_ and _Heritage Flagship_ models are both really great modern reissues/reproductions of much older pieces they produced previously in the 60s I think. The _Conquest Heritage_ is my personal favourite because it’s smaller at 35mm (Flasgship is 38.5mm), and its domed dial I feel is a much more faithful reproduction of the dials from the era. Both are super thin considering they’re automatic, too. Also I saw that Rado reintroduced their _Golden Horse_ model - a sporty dress watch they produced from the 50s/60s onwards in many different forms. Its casing and styling seems to perhaps be a bit of an homage to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, with fluteless or fluted bezel options. The main difference being the Rado sports a heavily domed dial as opposed to Rolex’s much more modern-looking flat dial. At the lower end of the scale, a few more budget-oriented brands have also capitalised on the call for a return to retro, with brands like Accurist and Geckota to name but a few releasing their own versions of the classic 60’s style bicompax racing chronograph (à la the 1968 Heuer Camaro) featuring tonneau/pin cushion cases with round bezels and dials. The compromises made here, however, are that the movements are usually either quartz or mechaquartz with no running seconds dial. Although I will say I picked up Accurist’s version, the _Retro Racer,_ with blue dial and orange and white accents, for half price at £70 down from their £129 RRP and I’ve been VERY impressed with it so far. It’s thin, its stated size of 41mm seems to wear much smaller because the lugs are so short, and the finishing is really great for the price. Sadly it’s since been discontinued it seems. If you’re not intimidated buying from Chinese sites like AliExpress, then I’d also fully recommend looking into the brand Mysterious Code. They produce some really lovely retro-inspired pieces, with their best I think being their interpretation of the 50’s style Longines bi- and tricompax chronographs. The model I picked up was a bicompax with blue guiolloché reverse panda dial with silver subdials, and I have to say for around £75 (available here: a.aliexpress.com/_EJ4RdTZ), I’m absolutely delighted with it. It uses the Seiko mechaquartz chronograph movement featuring a sweeping chronograph main seconds hand and has been incredibly accurate so far. The only downside for me with this brand has been their awkwardly modern and stereotypically Chinese-gibberish-attempt-at-English random brand name. Its just such a nice little watch at 38mm that I can bring myself to ignore that.

I’ve had a silver dial 38mm Intramatic on a bracelet for 7 years now. I wear it all the time. Great size and tremendous bang for the buck with the 2892. Dress watches are my favorite style. One day an 1815 or Senator Chronometer will be on my left wrist. Great list!

[@sealswimswim354]

[@garyboyle695]

For me you can't beat the Frederick Constant slimline manufacturer with small date subdial. Gorgeous watch with an in-house movement that wears much smaller that it's dimensions.

[@stryderja9570]

Teddy i am a brand new enthusiast and collector. I am in the high legal profession. Wondering if the bracelet automatically takes the watch out of dress category or if metal bracelet can be a dress category too.

[@harrislam]

Stuff like SARX, Nomos and Junghans are expected without even watching the video, but the FC chosen is what got my head nodding. It's a respectable black-horse brand in itself, but this particular pick is both minimalistic and also stylish at the same time with the pseudo-Breguet vibe going on at the dial. A very classic dial with fun elements at very competitive prices.

[@MilanStevanovic_arch]

Great video Teddy, as always. I love watching them! Since the Bauhaus movement originated in Germany the correct way, and easier for you, to pronounce would be Bow (like Bow Wow 🙂 ) and house ( like 🏠 ). Pretty much like it's spelled, letter for letter. Thought you might like to know. It's much easier than Ba-ha. 🙂 I learned the correct way to pronounce the name of brands from your channel so I thought returning the favor. 😛

[@carlosbeato1]

I love Dress Watches. I bought a used Tiffany and Co. watch for a good price that is a big conversation starter. Definitely, a true watch and not just a fashion watch.

[@gfrank9772]

I would’ve added the Ball Trainmaster Line, they have more safe contemporary designs along with dials that compare closely to railroad pocket watches. Not to mention they have excellent finishing at a near luxury standard.

[@noel6764]

the longines flagship heritage and conquest heritage are beautiful

[@Guy_de_Loimbard]

IMO Hamilton has a winner with their Jazzmaster Thinline series. Nice and thin (as the name would suggest) to slide with ease under a dress shirt cuff, good quality leather bands, reliable ETA 2824 workhorse movement, and nice clean minimalist dial design, all for comfortably under a grand.

[@plekguy]

Teddy, I bought a Tissot Gentleman with a blue dial from your website recently. Smooth transaction and loved the free strap (Tan alligator, looks great!). Thanks for all the great reviews. You really helped me with my final decision. The Tissot is a exceptional value. A review of Mido watches might be interesting to your viewers.

[@newton2105]

I have a Hamilton Intramatic with the silver sunburst dial, and it is an impressive watch for the money. Dial looks great, watch is thin and elegant, and houses a great, workhorse movement

I have a Ball Roadmaster Marine GMT 40mm and it is a beautiful Swiss Made watch. I ordered it from the factory and they let you pick your serial number and engrave your name. I picked my birthday! I get asked about it all the time and people enjoy the story about it’s origins. The phrases “He’s on the Ball” and “Get on the Ball” came from this watch brand. The tritium glow isn’t overly bright but it makes reading the time super easy at night. It’s kind of a flex to ask my friends with a Rolex what time it is at night or what’s the story about their watch. I scuba dive with this watch, wear it to the beach, office etc and generally don’t treat it well and the ceramic Pepsi bezel, glass and the bracelet are perfect; the clasp is definitely scratched. You can certainly save some cash getting it in the secondary market but, for me, it was worth every penny to pick exactly what I wanted with my serial number and my name engraved on the back. It’s not the most expensive watch I own but it starts more conversations and makes me smile more than my other watches.

[@infinite8586]

I’d say Stowa Marine & Mido Baronchelli Heritage are very good options as well

[@denisdaly1708]

[@IansModRite]

Due to the fact that I’m not one who generally needs a dress watch, I’m a big Certina DS1 fan. I have three models (a 38mm Roman numeral dial, a 39mm Powermatic 80 black dial and a 41mm small seconds silver dial) and they offer me a nice range from vintagesque dress style to very sporty dress but I have no problem wearing the sportier models as dailies. My three DS1s are all out of production but, in my opinion, are better because they offer decent lume and a more modern aesthetic.

I'd be very tempted to get the new 42mm Visodate refresh and sell my original 40mm model. I've been eyeing those same Nomos models for quite some time, but unfortunately the larger versions use a different movement and the price jumps by $1.5k. Tall person tax? 🤔

[@siongheeleong8078]

Good choice in selecting the Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic. That is an underrated watch. It has so many things going for it, including wearing well on the wrist. Unfortunately, not many watch enthusiasts know about the new Clifton Baumatic. For Longines, I think outside of their Heritage collection, their Master Collection with the barleycorn dials, Breguet style Arabic numerals, and blued steel hands on leather strap are worthy dress watches. For example, model number L2.628.4.78.3 which has a classic case diameter of 38.5mm and thickness of 9.2mm.

[@mikeontherock]

Nice line up again, love that 1926 Tudor which to me looks a bit sporty. Glad to see a mention on the Baume et Mercier clifton baumatic. I think you should have mentioned the latest Riviera editions too. They have released both a baumatic and a selita version.

Great look at dress watches under 3k, I would also look at the longines heritage tuxedo

I love your videos! I’m a big fan! Could you please do a video on the Frederique Constantine Slimline Monolithic. It’s so intriguing with its 40Hz Fc-810 movement. It’s so smooth it reminds me of a Grand Seiko Spring Drive. Thanks & keep up the great work!

That Longines Flagship Heritage champagne dial is gorgeous, most beautiful gold dial I’ve seen. The Hamilton too and great value but there’s something off with it being a Hamilton. Not exactly a dress watch brand.

Pure class! It's the kipper's knickers.
