These models offer such unique attributes, sometimes at such killer values, that at least one of them just may end up in my collection one day (spoiler: one of them already has!), and if you are far enough along in your watch journey to ignore the “fashion watches = trash” trope, you may find yourself wanting to add at least one to your own collection.

When we dismiss a watch as a “fashion watch”, we’re making two criticisms at once. First, that the watch is designed to look good for a brief moment in time, in keeping with a trend, after which point it will no longer be needed. Second, because of the fleeting nature of the watch’s looks, it doesn’t have to be made well, so it must inherently be a cheap, disposable object.
