Men's automatic watches epitomise craftsmanship, tradition and style. Unlike quartz watches, which run on a battery, automatic watches are powered by the movement of your wrist - a wonderful feat of micro-mechanics that has fascinated watch lovers for decades. In this blog, we dive deeper into the world of automatic watches: what makes them so special, what to look out for when buying them, and which models are more than worth exploring?
The Citizen NJ0190-51X is a charming and contemporary automatic watch with a Miyota 8210 movement. The robust steel case is complemented by sapphire crystal, which is exceptionally scratch-resistant. The green-black dial gives it a tough, military look, while a subtle date display adds just enough functionality without disturbing the design.
With water resistance to 100 metres, it is suitable for daily activities and recreational swimming. Thanks to its compact size of 40 mm, this watch fits both casual and business attire. The fine steel band with butterfly clasp feels sturdy and finishes the look.
The Bulova 98A179 Classic is a refined and classic-looking automatic watch, perfect for those who love timeless elegance combined with mechanical finesse. With a 46 mm case, the watch exudes presence without being overly ostentatious.
The open heart dial reveals part of the automatic movement, including a shiny jewel, which enhances the mechanical character. Sapphire glass protects the front, while the solid steel strap provides comfort and strength. The power reserve of 42 hours means you can safely leave it on for a few days without winding it up. Perfect for both business and semi-formal use.
The Versace VEAG00724 Dylos is a striking men's watch with a rich, deep green dial that sparkles in any light. Behind the sapphire glass beats an automatic movement that charges itself through wrist movements.
The sturdy steel strap feels reliable and adjusts perfectly to your wrist. Visually, it combines functionality with style: the steel matte finish with golden tones and gold-coloured indexes on a green dial gives this watch a chic, beautiful look. A luxury style item that comes with authenticity card at WatchXL.
The TW Steel TWVS132 Skeleton has a cool see-through dial showing off the Seiko automatic movement. This men's watch has a black croco Leather strap and a 2-year worldwide warranty. The 45 mm size gives it a sporty presence, quite substantial though but that's exactly what you expect from a TW Steel.
Striking is the skeleton dial: the internal automatic movement is therefore easy to see. The handsome Leather watch strap fits snugly around your wrist. This watch is the balance between style and functionality.
The Citizen Series 8 GMT is a high-quality automatic watch with GMT function, designed for travellers and distinctive thanks to its sleek and modern design. The Series 8 collection features Citizen's top watches and this gold-coloured version is truly one of the standouts.
The 41 mm case houses a robust movement that not only indicates local time, but also a second zone - handy for those who regularly fly around the world.
Sapphire glass protects the minimalist dial, while the steel strap with solid links offers comfort and durability. Technically sophisticated and visually balanced; a top-of-the-range with execution that fits in boardroom and lounge alike.
The Philipp Plein The $keleton 2.0 is a bold and eye-catching watch with a tonneau shape and skeleton dial that showcases a Seiko automatic movement. The transparent design allows you to directly see the internal movements, creating a mechanical spectacle.
The robust matte case matches the powerful steel strap with sturdy clasp. Special for those looking for a statement-piece with mechanics in sight. Not subtle but special; it attracts attention and there is nothing subtle about it, but for true design lovers, that is exactly what it is meant to be.
The Versace Dylos Automatic is a sophisticated and classic Swiss-made automatic with sapphire glass and a timeless steel strap. Inside the 42 mm case taps an automatic movement that ensures smooth seconds. The black dial is given extra flair by silver accents and the Medusa logo crown. Elegant enough for business use, but with a brand aura that will be recognised.
With its polished finish, it gives a premium look, while being sturdy enough for everyday use. A subtle glamour statement for those who want to wear luxury and style without overdoing it.
Tip: When choosing, pay attention to case diameter (40-46 mm) and functions (GMT, chrono, dive, elegance) that suit your lifestyle. This is how to find your ideal steel companion at WatchXL!
