Which watch would Father Christmas wear?
He'll be bringing all of us presents this year (regardless of how bad some of us have been), but which watch would you give Santa in return?
Also which watch do you think Old Saint Nick would wear during his one night of work each year?

I'm pretty much done with collecting now, but I've certainly got a good variety of affordable watches. As an occasional YouTuber, I'm a comedian not an influencer. Skmei is the new Casio!

Casio Royale. He needs the little world map and all the time zones.
Funny question. Either a crazy 1/1 overly complicated custom made for St. Nick’s yearly race around the world or a just G-shock with multiband 6 😂
A Glashütte Senator Cosmapolite of course ... because 36 time zones (he'd need them all). And the polished finish with white face would complement his outfit nicely.
A Casio G-Shock with Multi-Band 6 so the time automatically adjusts wherever he is. And is sturdy enough to go into all those chimneys.
My guess would be a diver…for all the crap he has to deal with ;)
Obvious watch for Santa is a Casio AE1200 worldtimer.
After all, this sled isn't going to skip time zones all on its own, is it?
Gotta be this, hasn't it?
I'm thinking that timezones aren't that relevant and are only going to confuse the issue.
My guess is that there's a big clock on the dash of his sleigh. But on his wrist...
He needs something he can see without having to pull back his coat every time (it's a cold job in the middle of the night). I'm going to put in a shout for the Cuffbuster, which also gives him an hour stopwatch to track his progress. Definitely designed with St Nick in mind:
Another option would be a Fitya space watch, at 54mm it's easy to read and was designed to be worn over his suit. Also I'd guess the Chinese would give him it as a freebie due to all the Xmas trade he's responsible for:
He wears gloves, rose to popularity in Victorian times, and is managing cargo distribution. He carries a pocket watch. Whether it is a Watham or Elgin or something else is up for debate, but it would be an everyman watch. Of course I think Father Time follows him in short order and suspect he runs on a circadian rhythm such that a timepiece is unnecessary. Plus he doesn't exist so this is all a thought exercise.
Came to vote AE1200 world timer. Has the world map and can change time zones with the push of a button as he soars across each zone. Excellent backlight too when in those dark rural areas. Stopwatch to set record times in and out of chimneys, 5 alarms for when he needs a quick nap. And it keeps home time from the north pole going on the upper left digital analog clock so he knows about what the Mrs. would be up to. Could there be any other watch for Santa?

WHAT???????? 😭😭😕😢
WTF? 😭😕😢😭😕😢😭😕😢
WWWWHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT???? 😭😕😢
According to this awesome piece of little known history, I'd wager a Sangin, Resco, Marathon, FXD, or he goes Baba Yaga style with a Carl F. Bucherer Manero Autodate....🤏🏻😜😆
A slieghkonda of course 😂
Definitely, something from AliExpress…he gets all his toys from China, so I’m sure he gets a discount
Well duh, a Worldtimer of course!
I'm gonna have to go with the G-Shock crowd. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I read this post. It can pretty much take any amount of punishment and if a reindeer steps on it, it's not gonna break the bank to get a new one.

I have to think this is right on the money. But I could also see him wearing a Univeral Geneve Polerouter. Actually come to think of it, the Raymond Briggs book includes a wrist shot…
Maybe a 50s Timex?
Grand Seiko Snowflake
F-91W (Casio), 'cos if my record of presents received is anything to go by, old Santa's a f*cking cheepskate!,.😠
dude is a pocket watch guy all day.

What???? Heresy. You must be on the Naughty List.
For some reason, the first thing that came to mind was a bespoke modded Omega Speedmaster. But I'm voting for a festive G Shock. 😊
Timex has Indiglo so he can see the time in the dark. I vote for the Expedition while on his sleigh and the Easy Reader when he gets home!

A Cartier Santaos, clearly.
Ok fine. I'll see myself out.
I have thought about this and he wears Rolex Submariner 5512. Steve McQeens one actually that he swopped one year while delivering presents. How do I know this, well, growing up many of my toys that I put in my letter to Santa were swapped out with socks and undies. Santa now plays with my action man parafinalia. Santa has a dark side !
He would have to wear this with the good ol' Swiss ETA movement.
