These are models you can rely on, both in terms of style and technology.

TW Steel is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a number of limited edition watches, including this TW Steel TWVS133 from the popular Volante collection. The VS133 is a watch with a robust design, exactly as you would expect from the Dutch watch brand, and a sporty look.
This robust men's watch has a striking colour and, thanks to its 45 mm case diameter and 15 mm thickness, it is also a substantial model to wear. With a water resistance of up to 100 metres, you can certainly do everyday things with this timepiece.
If you want to wear this Volante watch, don't wait too long to buy it, as it is only available for a limited time as a Limited Edition. A real collector's item for fans of the brand!

We are adding a number of sturdy models from the Sport Timer collection to our range of Luminox watches. Strong men's watches with a steel watch strap. This Luminox XS.0917 is one of the most striking, with a beautiful green dial, making it a great accessory for your wrist.
A watch that exudes power, a men's watch with a case diameter of 42 mm and water-resistant to 100 metres.

Are you looking for a watch that never needs a battery replacement? Then an automatic movement is ideal. Then be sure to consider this Zeppelin Atlantic. A unique watch manufactured in Germany with an automatic movement. The dial is also particularly beautiful with a globe on it. In addition to displaying the time and date, this watch also has a 24-hour hand, something we don't often see in automatic watches.
If you need a watch that is easy to read in the dark, then this Zeppelin from the Zeppelin Atlantic collection is highly recommended, as the dial is almost entirely illuminated. An excellent watch for true watch enthusiasts. German reliability in a classic design. Reliable, stylish and low-maintenance.

This Bauhaus Aviation Titanium men's watch was also manufactured entirely in Germany and is surprisingly comfortable to wear. This is partly thanks to the titanium from which this men's watch is made. It feels light, is strong and is certainly also suitable for people with a steel allergy. This model comes from the Aviation collection by Bauhaus, watches that have something to do with aviation.
The Bauhaus brand may be less well known, but anyone who wears this watch will never want to take it off. German precision in a modern design. Excellent illuminated hands, an automatic movement (no more battery replacements) and sapphire crystal put the finishing touches to this model! This is truly one of the top watches in our shop, German quality for a lifetime of wearing pleasure.

As the largest supplier and dealer of Versace watches in the Benelux, you can expect to see numerous watches from this beautiful watch brand in our shop in the coming year. This Versace VEKIA0425 is a true designer watch, combining Italian flair and Swiss technology. This Versace chronograph is also sturdy, has a sporty look and features functions such as date display, chronograph and tachymeter.
This model immediately catches the eye when worn on your wrist. A men's watch that is quite substantial with a case diameter of 44 mm. This Versace V-Sport naturally has sapphire crystal and a Swiss movement. Versace enthusiasts naturally go for the brand name, but with this model, you are also choosing quality.

With the Marlin GMT, Timex proves that you can also make an impression with a quartz movement. This beautiful steel model with a striking blue dial measures 40 mm in case diameter and is extra handy for those who travel frequently: the GMT function keeps track of multiple time zones.
Timeless design, but above all a minimalist design that is simply designed to show you the time as clearly as possible. A men's watch that is water-resistant to 50 metres and can be worn with any outfit and on any occasion.

Things have been a little quiet at Dutch watch brand TW Steel, but not anymore! Last autumn, TW Steel announced a major comeback for one of the Dutch brand's most popular collections, the ACE Genesis. It is TW Steel's top line and is now being expanded with six new models: three chronographs and three automatic watches.
This TW Steel ACE140 watch is unique, a Limited Edition, made for 20 years of TW Steel and therefore likely to sell out quickly. One of our quality watches, equipped with a Swiss (automatic) movement. And that is something that true TW Steel enthusiasts will certainly appreciate!
This ACE from TW Steel is entirely Swiss Made, has sapphire glass, and will only be available in limited quantities because it was designed for the anniversary. Mechanical craftsmanship in an impressive case.

Minimalism is the trend and this Citizen Suratto watch fits in perfectly. The men's watches from Citizen's Suratto collection are extremely thin, light and comfortable, even under a shirt. Made in a beautiful colour combination (and if you don't like this one, check out the complete Suratto collection in our shop and see the unique colours). Every Suratto has an Eco-Drive movement that charges in the light. So you don't have to worry about changing batteries.
If you are looking for a watch that can be worn under formal clothing, a Citizen Suratto is perfect: it is 4.7 mm thick, which is extremely thin for a men's watch. It also weighs next to nothing: 32 grams! The case diameter is 38.5 mm and, of course, it features sapphire glass. Definitely a good option for lovers of subtle, stylish and thin watches.

This Citizen is another watch we expect a lot from in the coming year. The JV2000-51L Promaster Sky is considerably larger (and thicker) than the Citizen Suratto described above. A functional and robust watch from the Japanese watch brand, made for adventurous wearers.
All Promaster Sky watches are packed with technology. With all its functions, this Promaster is also very cool to look at and wear. Not only that, it is also an excellent quality watch, guaranteed reliability, from aviation to everyday use. The men's watch measures 43 mm in diameter and is 14 mm thick. Quite different from the Suratto, but enthusiasts will appreciate that.
In any case, this model can take a beating because it is made for extremes. Waterproof to 200 metres and rechargeable in the light: a watch you can wear every day in all circumstances. The sturdy safety clasp ensures that it stays securely on your wrist and never comes loose.

WatchXL specialises in Swiss Alpine Military, and this watch brand has been featured in our webshop for years. New models are added regularly, such as this chronograph from the Cruiser collection. It stands out thanks to its deep blue dial and 43 mm case diameter.
Swiss Alpine is a Swiss quality brand that remains affordable. The new Cruiser chronograph offers precision, style and durability, pure Swiss quality! A watch that is also water-resistant to 100 metres and has a very sporty look. Luminous hands and indices ensure that it can also be read in the dark.
The 7024.9135 Cruiser Chronograph is a good choice for watch enthusiasts who want to wear a Swiss timepiece but don't want to pay top dollar for it.
