We may earn a commission if you buy through our links. How this works.
The Paramount Pistachio: A buyer who enjoys winding a watch, wants a slim 38 mm dress piece, and sees the pistachio dial and Swiss movement as the reason to spend $855 after the tested code. Choose the Tissot Le Locle if you want an automatic movement and steel bracelet for a lower listed price, or the BODERRY ELITE if your budget is closer to $250 and you still want a dressy display-back automatic.
The Le Locle Powermatic 80 Blue: Someone who wants a slim, traditional automatic for work and occasions, with the convenience of a long power reserve. Choose the PRX or Gentleman if you want 100 m water resistance and a sportier everyday watch.
This is a hand-wound watch, so winding is part of owning it; it is not the set-and-forget choice. Ferro lists 50 m / 5 ATM water resistance, but this dress model is not our pick for regular swimming. The green-and-plum combination is also deliberately distinctive rather than neutral.
Water resistance is 30 m, so treat it as splash-proof rather than a swimming watch. Roman numerals and a bracelet make a formal statement that will not suit everyone’s daily style.
