Under the Radar Watch Brands | Day 1 – Golana

Under the Radar Watch Brands – Day 1 – Golana Swiss

When it comes to finding a watch that costs somewhere between $75 – $200, your options can be limited.  Most guys know about Skagen, Citizen, Invicta and Bulova.  And those brands make some damn fine looking watches, but they’re not hitting real high with the unique factor.  We’ve found three that do.

For the next three days you’ll find a different watch brand highlighted right here on Dappered. For each brand, three of their best pieces will be on display.  None of those watches will be over $200.  They’re brands that are easily accessible, but  not widespread.  They’re brands that you don’t see on every guy’s wrist, but could very well find a home on yours.  Nine watches, three brands, 72 hours.

Golana Terra-200 Chrono $169.00 |  Aero-300 $129.00 |  Aqua Pro-100 $139.00

Golana Watches $129 - $169

The Golana Watch company was founded in Switzerland, the movement is Swiss Quartz… annnnd that’s about as much Swiss as you’re going to get for under $200.  Not a lot of pure dress watches in the Golana collection, but you can find plenty of models that are sporty yet toned down just enough to wear with a suit.  Both metal and leather bands are offered, and all of their models come in various color combinations.

Dappered.com favorite: The Aqua Pro-100.  Refined sport for just $139.99
