Which watches punch above their price tag???

Pretty diver heavy but that’s my favourite watch type.

Love my presage

Today's WRUW definitely does that. World time, stop watch, alarms, and timer. For the low price 💪🏼

Another vote for Presage.

Orient, San Martin, Longines, Pafani Design, Raymond Weil.

Any watch that Formex makes!

Glycine Combat Sub - can often be had new for c.$300 and is a great Swiss field/dive crossover.

There are so many, especially from San Martin and Microbrands like WISE, Nodus, and Zelos. I'll add these two, specifically: Citizen nb1060-12l and the Steinhart 39 Ocean GMT Titanium

Some may disagree, however for me it’s the Ranger. For what you get at the price is absolutely a steal. Screw down crown, COSC in house. 100 meters wr, oyster bracelet with t-fit. 5 year warranty.

Spinnaker, Boderry, CW

Certina.

The Citizen is amazing 👏

I feel that people say this about good looking watch at whatever price

Mido!!

#helm an actual ISO rated diver for ~$300

One of the brands that stuck out to me at the beginning and still now is Long Island Watch. One gets a fair deal of specs for not a lot of cash comparatively to the rest of the microbrand field. Back when they started there weren’t that many designs to choose from, but now it’s a different story.

And howdy, fellow Tesla driver.

I think the Presage is very fine, though the size is a bit of an issue for me

How about the Orient Bambino? Stunning quality for the money I think.

I think this cocktail time watch, if pitted against a similar dress watches from Hamilton or FC, leaves both Swiss products trailing in it's wake in terms of aesthetics, versatility and resale value.

I wouldn't quote durability since the cocktail time line up gets shipped with a mineral crystal instead of sapphire crystals in the other brands, but more than compensates with that absolutely stunning dial.

Nomos.

Grand Seiko. I think they’re the next big thing. They’ve only been selling their watches outside Japan for around 15 years. And the most popular models already are sold out all the time.
