Raymond Weil, classic watch.

There is a type of watches, which could be timeless. This is a dress watch. Despite many definitions of dress watch existing in the minds there is no unity. In my eyes the Raymond Weil gold/white/black embodies the true formal dress watch. I not going to ask why you should have such watch ,rather what makes it a great watch. Tastes are obviously different, however formal event with tie can come with either suit or tuxedo. Think of the weeding, formal ceremony or something normal folks not going to attend very often. You wear black shoes, black tie, white shirt and cuffs. Also you wear this watch. Gold thin case with rounded corners and protected crown making RW very comfortable to wear and it would spring under your sleeve with no effort.  Tall, thin roman numerals look elegant and less intimidating than they could. Numerals hint two circles one outer and other inner, leaving very subtle impression of more textured watch face than it actually is.   Golden studs

Also, it affordable unless you talking about some grand Swiss brands. Nature of this reliability grows out of simplicity of quartz moment. It can be 1 second a year with half moving parts of a mechanical watch. Resurgence of Swiss watchmaking owns to this simplicity and disposability embedded into cool, funky or stylish design. Swatch made it cheaper and simpler than it was before, yet you got reliable and accurate enough watch with convenience of no winding your watch each day. It is brilliant! Self winding mechanical watc
