Seldom does Patek Philippe introduce an entirely new complication, but when they do, collectors take notice. Equipped with a unique calendar complication indicating the current week number, this modern marvel of the Calatrava collection is further set apart from the rest by the imperfect typeface found on its dial, playfully channeling the aesthetics of handwriting. At 40 mm across, this one is sure to sit nicely on Dad's wrist, sliding under the cuff with ease while still standing out when needed.
Tudor's unique combination of hardwearing durability and heritage-inspired aesthetics simply can't be beat. With a “panda” dial traced by a snowflake handset, reminiscent of those found on Tudor references of the 1970s, the Black Bay Chrono offers a taste of early Rolex and Tudor in modern form with top-grade construction. What's more, this reference is powered by Tudor's chronometer-certified, in-house caliber MT5813 movement – an exceedingly reliable and accurate caliber for its relatively accessible price point.
If he's one for the classics, but still appreciates a dash of flash every now and again, a blue dial fitted Submariner executed in two-tone "Rolesor" is sure to put a smile on his face. One of the most celebrated variants of the Submariner Date, the two tone “Bluesy” employs a touch of 18k gold and blue accents, elevating the iconic dive watch for a slightly more luxurious feel on the wrist. It's hard to go wrong with a Rolex as versatile and iconic as this fan-favorite reference.
Whether he's a motorsports aficionado, a Steve McQueen fan, or one to favor slightly more unconventional designs, TAG Heuer's Monaco is sure to put a smile on his face. Inspired by the original Heuer Monaco famously worn by Steve McQueen, this blue and red variant of the revered square chronograph serves up all the vintage vibes with the reliability of a modern TAG Heuer movement.
A direct descendent of the very first wristwatch designed for men, the large Santos de Cartier features a rectangular stainless steel case, accented by the model’s signature screws securing its bezel and bracelet links. Unlike any Santos de Cartier model before it, the reference WSSA0037 notably features an ADLC-coated bezel, contrasting starkly against the stainless steel case in a way that accentuates the iconic design.
Highly complicated albeit reasonably priced, Breitling's Premier B25 Datora harkens back to the watchmaker's vintage chronograph references of the 1940s and 50s in unmistakable style. Equipped with a complete calendar chronograph, displaying the day, date, month, and moonphase – the Premier B25 Datora 42 easily represents one of the best and most striking values in modern watchmaking, made all the more compelling by its uniquely tasteful salmon-colored dial.
Despite its conservative sizing at a modest 36 millimeters across, this vibrant variant of Rolex's Oyster Perpetual packs a serious punch with a lacquered dial executed in the legendary watchmaker's signature verdant tone. Originally released in 2020 with a host of other similarly colorful Oyster Perpetual models, the green dial fitted reference 126000-0005 draws inspiration from celebrated “Stella” dial Day-Dates produced throughout the 70s and 80s. If all Dad's collection is missing is a lighthearted pop of color, this might just be your best bet.
When the occasion calls for leaving a lasting impression, a yellow gold and black classic from Germany's most distinguished watchmaker is always up for the task. Designed in accordance with the principles of the golden ratio, the Lange 1’s uniquely deconstructed layout transcends novelty for a truly timeless appearance, delighting collectors since its 1994 introduction.
Fit for the Dad that's traditional, but not without his quirks, this modern-sized dress piece is a no-brainer. Modeled after a reference designed specifically for the American market in 1921, this rose gold Vacheron Constantin is distinguished by its diagonally-oriented dial, allowing for effortless timekeeping while at the wheel. Also of note is its manually-wound caliber 4400 AS movement, conveniently visible through its sapphire crystal display caseback.
You can never go wrong with a Daytona. Iconic as the day is long, the latest chapter in the legendary sports chronograph's lineage exceeds expectations with ease. Notable updates to the celebrated classic include a refined dial design, a steel-trimmed Cerachrom bezel, a slimmer case profile, and an upgraded caliber 4131 movement affording additional hours of power reserve. In its most modern form, this Rolex is truly tough to resist.
