Behind every man’s watch is a story to be told. So much can be derived from a timepiece that is seen as the definitive accessory for men. Every watch is a statement of intent, individualism and represents a giant leap towards the ideals of traditional manhood. With this transition comes a sense of sophistication and style alongside the reservations surrounding the complexity and cost associated with purchasing a quality watch. There are many lists of popular watches that the average man just cannot afford. However, men are now spoilt for choice with a fantastic collection of practical and fashionable men’s watches available at affordable prices thanks to the thriving men’s watch market. Here is a selection of the trendiest, functional and timeless designs which can be picked up for less than £400.
The classical combination of the blue and white nylon strap perfectly offsets Larsson & Jennings trademark white and gold classic watch dial and case. The Swedish and British roots of the company are evident in this contemporary timepiece created through the amalgamation of British aesthetic and Scandinavian minimalistic design.
This sporty and masculine design provides fantastic versatility. With an exquisite finish and whole host of functions, this watch still retains a slick image meaning it can look just as good in the office as it would in the gym.
Minimal black ‘n’ white dials are currently all the rage, but Skagen have given this timepiece a modern edge with a fun injection of red, yellow and blue on its smaller seconds hand.
Smooth and unassuming, the Driver watch is the perfect accompaniment to a black tie. This modern masterpiece features a stainless steel crown, a black crocodile-effect leather strap and fluid Japanese-quartz movement ensuring you are punctual as well as professional.
This watch possesses an intimidating presence by way of its macho style and oversize dial. Inspired by the military, this abstract accessory oozes personality through its camouflage army texture to one side of the strap and layered black leather to the other.
There is a wide range of Armani watches for under £400, however the Chronograph blue leather strap is sophisticated, smooth and stylish. The deep blue leather strap works perfectly in tandem with the stainless silver case and can be worn with either casual or formal clothes.
Diesel prides itself as being only for the brave and this timepiece is certainly not for the faint hearted. This watch can tell you the time in four different time zones complete with a date feature function, sleek gunmetal plating and a novel denim dial.
