I need suggestions as to how to "complete" a six watch collection.
I currently have 3 watches for 3 purposes, and 1 watch I'm saving up to get this year.
The 1 watch I'm saving up for this year is:
*Diver's watch: Orient Kamasu 2 (1st photo)
The 3 which I now have are
*Dress watch for formal wear: Orient Stela (2nd photo)
*Office watch for work: Seiko "Pogue" Homage (with different nylon straps to match whatever colour of uniform for that day) (3rd photo)
*Beater/Runner's watch for exercise and running errands: Casio WS-1400 (4th photo)
What other watch styles could round this collection out? Like I need 2 more styles. I'm already looking at a "vintage style" chronograph like the Seagull 1963 as it ticks both "vintage" and "chronograph".
This account is verified. WatchCrunch has confirmed that this account is the authentic presence for this person or brand.
As a rule of thumb:
Daily, Diver, Dress, and Driver (sometimes), Field, and Flyer
Sometimes watches can pull double duty or can also fall into the broader categories of Sport, Beater, and Chronograph.
Your next purchase is obviously a diver and you have dress covered. Maybe the Seiko is a daily or a field? Certainly a sport watch. The Casio could also be a daily, or field, and is by all measures a beater.
A chronograph, maybe by Citizen, would make a good flyer and chronograph. Alternatively, Seiko makes a good driver/chronograph with their speedtimer.
I have that AA08 Kamasutra on a brown horwin strap and I love it. Nice choice.
Not sure I'm contributing anything new, but adding a Flieger, a Field watch and a Chronograph would cover all the standard categories.
