What about thin watches?

I’m assuming you want something mechanical….You can find a lot of vintage stuff from the 60s that’s 7mm or less. The two top names that comes to mind are Lucian Piccad, they used solid gold cases made by international watch company, the other is Universal Geneve, you can pick up some really thin mechanical watches for a couple hundred. If you want precious metal, the UGs can get expensive.

There’s lots more as they were generically made during that time period but if you want something thin, affordable and mechanical that’s a good place to start.

A Skagen or a Casio Film watch may be ideal.

Citizen Stiletto comes to mind

I forgot to mention that i would prefer mechanical watches. Vintage or new. But something really interesting like VC historique 1921

Plenty of Omega De Ville Prestige models from the 1990s and later that are quite thin.

Someone posted their Citizen a while back that was as thin a watch as I've ever seen.

How thin? Nomos is reasonable

Eco Drive One:

I don't mind taller watches, I'd say I like them. But it's quite practical to have thinner watches.

Swatch Skin 34 mm is affordabel and extremly thin.

The Maen manhatten is a nice watch that is around 10mm for the automatic or 8mm for the manual wind, Christopher Ward used to do a dress watch that was called the 595 (5.95mm) that you can find used and Knot do a solar watch that is 6mm. The solar is about £150 and the other two are under £1k

Check my latest WRUW. My Hamilton is very thin.

Does this fit the bill?

Are looking for something brand new or will you consider something in the used market?

I have three, and they are gorgeous. I don't know if classic dress watches are your cup of tea.

1. Rolex Cellini.

2. Patek Philippe Calatrava

3. Sea-Gull ST18

I would recommend a seiko dolce dress watch.. sacm171... not mechanical, but a high accuracy quartz which is also cool.. for sports watch, the nomos neomatik sport 37.. thats 200m of water resistance with a thin case and beautiful exhibition caseback..

In general, watches with the ETA/Peseux 7001 would be the thinnest mass produced ones you can find new. Like others have suggested, there’s a ton of vintage stuff that is around 7mm or less.

If you’re into Seiko, I’d recommend looking into Credor. Their caliber 68 is under 2mm thin so watches that utilize that movement can get about 6mm thick and many are in the 34-36mm diameter range. They’ve been making this generation of movement since 1993

Thank you guys for recomendations! As i said a like vintage watches but im not an expert and it scares me a lot if i buy 7-10k vintage watch and it was damaged or unreparable. I would preffer new but not neccesary dress watch (i love them but for everyday wearing would choose something else)

Thanks guys

Not for everyone but Nomos makes some thin watch movements.

Their Orion range may not have an ultra thin (<8mm) thickness but they are no greater than 9mm. That in my mind is quite respectable especially since it is an automatic (Orion neomatic ) and in-house.

Seiko Dolce. High accuracy quartz +/- 10 secs a year, under 6mm thick. 34mm case size

If this pursuit is about practical considerations and not just gee whiz factor, I'd keep case diameter restricted. There are some watches that are very thin but so wide that they are just cumbersome in a different way on most wrists.

JLC Master Ultra Thing is the one that comes to the forefront of my mind. But thickness is relative. Longines has a Master Collection piece that’s 38.5mm by 9.2mm and it’s an automatic as well. I don’t consider anything under 10 to be thick. It also depends on the application - for a thin diver, I’d suggest Glycine and the under 11mm Combat Sub.

Can't believe no one's mentioned the Bulgari Octo Finissimo yet. The standard wears pretty thin but they even have an extra thin spec:

Citizen do 3mm for around 3 grand. Solar quartz.

My nicest watch is 9mm in titanium and sapphire which I think is great. But many people hate the digital display. And it's not exactly mega thin but it's pretty nice for 200 dollars.

My omega deville is thin but it’s only 33mm so not what you are looking for. I’m happy to some thickness if the watch has made some effort to hide the thickness not make it worse. I’m looking at you Tudor 😂
