Silver Watches for Men

 

Silver is the most common color for men’s watches. While finding real silver in watches is nearly impossible, no thanks to the silver’s easy to corrode nature, stainless steel watches are used to give the appearance of silver for decades. These watches are practical, look really good, they are really easy to combine with the clothes and the other jewelry or accessories and you can find good prices. Every man needs to have at least one in their collection. A silver-toned watch is fit for every occasion if you choose the right one.

 

How To Choose A Silver Watch

 

There are countless options to choose from if you are looking for men’s silver watches. They can be made from stainless steel, aluminium, silver, and white gold, the most common being the stainless steel options. The prices can differ substantially depending on the material. There are some other factors like the movements, watch style and complications that will affect the prices.

The main limiting factor of options is the budget. You have to set a budget for a watch, and think about what you want. The rest of the process depends on you. You need to get a good balance with the budget and the watch. If you choose wisely, you are going to get a watch you’ll love to wear, and be your companion for years to come. Budget is highly personal, but you should know some basics about watches if you are a novice watch buyer.

 

Movement

 

Movement is the mechanism of the watch. It has the biggest impact on a watch’s price. Some movements are meticulously hand-built by the master craftsman and that is why the prices are sky-high on luxury watches. There are two main types of movement: Mechanical and Quartz. They each have their advantages and what you’ll get highly depends on your budget.

 

Mechanical Movement

 

Mechanical movement is purely mechanical, as the name suggests. The mechanisms used to make this watches work is an art form, and no mean feat. They are powered by a wound mainspring, storing kinetic energy and releasing the said energy slowly to keep the time. They are self-sustained. There are two kinds of mechanical movement watches; manual or automatic.

• Manual mechanical movement needs to be hand-wound.
• Automatic mechanical movement stores the kinetic energy from the wearer’s actions.

These movements can be very expensive, especially the in-house ones. But there are some very good off-the-shelf mechanical movements that can be found on more reasonably priced watches.

 

Quartz

 

Quartz is the cheaper alternative to the mechanical movements. They are also more popular and can be found on all kinds of watches. They work exceptionally well, and good ones keep time more accurately than mechanical movements. They achieve this kind of accuracy with the help of an electronic circuit. They are battery powered, and the power from this battery runs through a quartz crystal, which in return vibrates in a very precise manner. The circuit then measures these vibrations and keeps the time.

These watches are relatively inexpensive. But don’t let the prices fool you. They are very reliable and robust. They need virtually no maintenance, apart from the battery changes and they are expected to work for a long time.

 

Different Types of Silver Watches

The other factor that greatly affects prices is the style of the watch. Different styles of watches have different looks and use cases. They may have different complications, or features, depending on the style.

 

Dress Watches

 

Dress watches are exactly what the name suggests. They are mainly worn with suits, in fact they are the only acceptable watches for black or white tie events. They have no complications apart from a calendar or a moonphase. These watches are thin, light and can be made with both movements.

The silver dress watches mostly have leather or metal straps and they should complement your rings or your belt buckles.

 

Diver’s Watches

 

Diver’s watches are traditionally made with an all-metal construction. They are sturdy, thick and good everyday watches. These can be used for any occasion except the most formal ones. As they are all-metal, their main colour is silver and you can find a watch that suits your needs perfectly for good prices, if you are looking for a watch you don’t have to worry about. They are also water resistant to varying degrees, some even withstand hundreds of meters, hence the name. 

These can be worn with almost anything. Like the dress watches, they should work with your other metal accessories.

 

Chronographs

 

Chronographs are exciting and handsome watches that were mainly used by the sportsmen. But nowadays, they are seen as good watches with sophisticated designs that you can use for everyday wear or to a business meeting. They have a chronometer as a complication and some even have flashy ones like a tachymeter to help the racing drivers. Chronographs can be found with leather or metal bands.

As with all silver watches, these watches are exceptionally versatile and work with almost any clothes other than sportswear.

 

Pilot’s Watches

 

Pilot’s watches have big, easy to read dials that helped the pilots to steer the plane. Nowadays, they are used to create a bold, serious but adventurous look. They are great to be paired with a suit or casual streetwear. Anything really, other than a tuxedo or full-on sportswear.
