Watches For Under $300 - Part II

In Part I, you were presented with some of the most stylish watches in the under-$300 category and many of you responded with equally great watches or inquiries about certain styles.

This is not surprising considering that the variety of watches in this range offers buyers the opportunity to express themselves and still get a reliable watch without taking out a loan. Let’s face it: All $10,000 watches begin to look the same after a while, and how many diamonds do you really need anyway?Here, then, are some of the styles and brands you asked to read about.

Invicta Dive Watch
Cost: $295

Automatic and stainless steel -- and under $300; what else could you ask for in a jock watch? Sure, go ahead and drop a few thousand on a high-end watch or try on this Invicta and see what a man of adventure and taste should wear. Besides, James Bond gets his dive watches for free. So skip the models with orange and yellow dials and go with this sleek number in monotone silver. Wear it 24 hours a day with the confidence that you saved a pile of cash, and look great no matter where you are or what kind of diving you’re doing.

Mondaine Evo
Cost: $160

Originally designed to be the official clock style for Swiss railway stations, Mondaine has evolved into a fine men’s watchmaker, offering clean, simple lines for the style-conscious man who wants his watch to be as utilitarian as it is fashionable. Mondaine continues to update its line with new pairings of materials and colors, but the philosophy of communicating the time without cluttering your mind with algebraic theories remains as the single best reason to strap on this Evo and get on with your life.

Skagen
Cost: $185

Razor thin at 7 millimeters and made out of titanium, the case of the Skagen Performance Chrono is tough and unobtrusive. The understated elegance here is pure Danish design. Most of today’s men’s watches, including many profiled on these pages, are about being seen and impressing others, but this watch will go unnoticed by many except for the most astute observers of style.
