ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR MEN - Designer Watches!

CASIO ILLUMINATOR, £20

If you seek a retro-tastic stocking filler, look no further than a Casio Illuminator. Giving a nod to the era of leg warmers, keyboard ties and big hair, this classic digital watch oozes cool, and is available in an array of bright hues (see it in blue here and red here). Practical features include an alarm, backlight and stopwatch.

DIESEL NSBB DIGITAL, £119

Italian fashion brand Diesel complement their world-famous collections of jeans, clothes and accessories with a quirky range of watches. This retro-inspired digital piece looks like something a spy might have quietly spoken into in the 1960s. The eye-catching NSBB is water resistant to 50 metres, and not recommended for those who want to keep a low profile.

BOSS BLACK BY HUGO BOSS ROUND SILVER DIAL, £259

Hugo Boss watches are as finely-made as their suits, and this chronograph effortlessly pulls off the look of a classic luxury piece from one of the finest Swiss watchmakers. A 44mm case, croc-embossed brown leather strap with pin and buckle clasp, and a date window offset between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock combine to make a piece of designer jewellery that demands attention.

TW STEEL GRANDEUR TW53, £425

This Dutch company are specialists in oversized chronograph watches, which explains the generous 48mm stainless steel case and Japanese precision chrono movement contained within the aptly named Grandeur. Everything about this watch says ‘big’: the large numerals, the huge screw-down crown and the thick orange leather strap are made for a man with status. They’re also popular with racing fans, as brand ambassadors include F1 legend David Coulthard and Indy Car champ Dario Franchitti.

WELDER K24 3305 BLACK AND CREAM CHRONOGRAPH, £700

A company that believes time travel will be commonplace in the year 2075 Welder is either exceptionally quirky or visiting us from the future, but we think sporty Italian brand Welder probably fall into the former category. With an eye-catching 3D aesthetic, the heavy-duty K24 series is their most popular range. This divers watch features a 50mm case size, a crown set at 9 o’clock (designed to give a diver’s left hand more space to move around) and layered cut-out dials that will appeal to those who like something out of the ordinary.
