Feature: The ultimate bargain watches that cost under £1,000
Whether you avidly search the web for coupon codes each time you shop or drive a hard bargain at your local boot fair, that satisfaction you get from bagging a bargain is universal— and it doesn’t cease when luxury watches are involved. These timepieces below will certainly give you a kick, all costing under £1,000—yes you heard that right. You can thank us later.
Longines Presence L4.921.2.11.2
If you’re searching for a pared-down dress watch to adorn your wrist for those swanky occasions or even everyday office wear, then this Longines could well be the one. This mechanical piece features a crisp white dial with Roman numerals and a striking gold-plated steel case. Plus, the movement is displayed via the open caseback—a neat addition to this swish timepiece. An automatic Longines for less than £1k? It’s one hell of a steal!
Alpina Extreme Diver AL-525BB5AE6
Take one look at this watch from Alpina and you might notice something a little unusual about the dial… noticed it yet? It is, of course, the standard 12-hour numerals being replaced with a 60-minute counter that’s usually found on the bezel. Being a dive watch this piece enables divers to countdown each crucial second they spend underwater. With a cushion case, black dial and rubber strap this is a cool sporty piece from Alpina that’s just as suitable for non-divers too.
Hamilton Khaki Pilot H80485835
The Hamilton Khaki range is one of the brand’s most popular offerings and it’s easy to see why. This Khaki Pilot flaunts a minimalist black and white colourway—making it perfectly legible for the pilots it’s intended for—with white numerals and hands. A date window at 3 o’clock makes a handy addition too, while the NATO strap adds a casual appeal to this modern Hamilton.
Tissot T-Touch T33.7.788.51
The only piece on this list to feature a digital display, the iconic Tissot T-Touch was the first touch-screen watch ever released. This titanium multi-function model comes packed with a compass, alarm, thermometer, barometer and altimeter. Not only that, but it was worn by none other than Angelina Jolie as on-screen action woman Lara Croft—and if that isn’t cool then we don’t know what is.
TAG Heuer Formula 1 WAZ1010.BA0842
TAG Heuer’s Formula 1 range is one of the brand’s most popular lines in its catalogue. Inspired, of course, by Formula 1 racing, this is a handsome sporty watch with precision and legibility at its heart. The oversized 12 and 6 numerals make telling the time a breeze while hurtling round the racetrack. The crown even has an “easy grip” finish creating improved handling with driving gloves. Whether on or off the track, though, this is a watch that will get you from A to B in style.
