In case you missed the Citizen that was dropped into the “How to Buy a Tux” feature from last week… here it is again. There’s just something about the contrast between a black leather band, and a white or silver dial on a round dress watch.
The cliche is accessories are the last things you put on, but the first thing someone notices. A guy’s watch can say a lot about him, and a white or silver dial dress watch when worn with a suit looks smart and powerful all at once.
There’s no shortage of details and features on this light powered model from Citizen. Roman Numerals, Month/day/date perpetual calendar, dual time 24-hour dial, and it’s a chrono. Calendar good through 2100.
Easily the watch that delivers the most bang for your buck if you’re looking to buy a white dial black strap chrono. The numerals are small and thin, but still easy to read. It looks kind of like an old school room clock and a flight dial were blended together. Just over $100.
The fact that this one got left off the list of Top Bulova Watches is something of an embarrassment. The case is a perfect 43mm, the dial is textured, and it’s secured with a push button deployment clasp. Just over $200.
All of these are classic but not stuffy. It’s all about standing out quietly, and these three watches do just that.
Unconstructed blazers. Wedding/business suits. Swim trunks. And yes, lots of pants. It's the Bonobos big…
Italian wool suits. Traveler jeans. Shoes. Flagship chinos. New stuff for Spring. As good as…
Now down to $206.25 via Macy's.
$21 shorts. $154 blackwatch dinner jackets. That's some (clearance blowout) range.
They look the part. But what about the guts?
