Our Top Watches of the Year
This year, we’re not just celebrating innovation – we’re ranking our winners. From affordable automatic GMT watches to the resurgence of Timex as a major player in the market, the watch industry has seen some remarkable developments. Below, find our top watches of the year, ranging from a trendy Timex to a timepiece so accurate, it measures years by the millions.
17. A Titanium GMT Watch Sets a New Standard for Value
The Timex x The James Brand x Titanium GMT is an affordable automatic GMT watch that punches above its weight. With a Miyota 9075 automatic GMT movement and a 41mm case size, this watch is a great value for the price.
Specifications:
- Case Size: 41mm
- Movement: Miyota 9075 automatic GMT
- Water Resistance: 200m
18. A Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID Watch that Runs on Pixie Dust
Once in a while, a product comes along that functions in such a way that it can only be described as magical. This Panerai dive watch may not actually run on pixie dust, but it inspires so much joy and childlike wonder that it might as well.
Specifications:
- Case Size: 49mm
- Movement: Panerai Cal. P.9010/EL automatic with mechanical luminescence
- Water Resistance: 500m
The Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID is a true marvel of innovation. Its mechanical movement contains four barrels dedicated to storing energy generated by winding the crown, which is then converted into electricity to power LED lights on the hands, indices, and bezel. These lights can be turned on and off like a light switch via a pusher on the case.
