Two important factors for businessmen when choosing a watch
First of all, what business people care about the most
"What will the people around me think?"
I think this is an inseparable concern for business people. However, if you have a solid understanding of two elements, this concern can be largely resolved.
These are the [case (bracelet) material] and [dial color] .
These two elements are important to keep in mind when choosing a watch, so I will explain them in a little more detail.
[Case (bracelet) material]
The first element, the case (bracelet) material, takes up the majority of the watch and greatly influences its appearance. Here we will introduce two recommended materials.
SS (Stainless Steel)
First, there is the classic SS (stainless steel) material.
The idea of "watch = silver" has remained unchanged for a long time, and it can be said that "the eye is accustomed to it = it doesn't stand out." The most representative example of this is SS (stainless steel).
Coupled with the relatively affordable price range, they are popular among a wide range of businessmen. In addition, there are many types released by each brand, so you have a wide range of options and can use them without worrying about them being rough, which is another big attraction.
WG (white gold) / PT (platinum)
Next, we would like to introduce WG (white gold) and PT (platinum), which exude elegance.
It exudes a subtle sense of luxury and exudes an aura of dignity. Compared to stainless steel (SS), the price range is much higher, but the weight and elegant aura are sure to make you want to own one someday.
In particular, there are many cases that are used in the dress line of luxury watches, and there are many models that go well with suits. Many people choose them when they reach a certain level of status.
"summary" The image of a silver watch has remained unchanged for a long time. Our eyes are accustomed to it, so it doesn't stand out. Following this rule, you should choose a silver watch. ▶SS (Stainless Steel) ▶WG (White Gold) ▶ PT (Platinum) It is best to choose from the following.
[Dial color]
The second element is the dial color, which is the face of a luxury watch and it is no exaggeration to say that it determines its appearance.
There are many different types of watches, from simple three-hand models to models that display complex functions on the dial, but what most determines the visual impression is the color of the dial.
Among them, the color that seems to be suitable for businessmen is
" Black ," " Gray ," " Silver ," " White ," and " Blue ."
These colors are easy to match with any occasion and are easy to wear, so they are loved by everyone. They do not stand out and give a calm impression, so you can wear them for a long time without getting bored.
5 watches recommended for businessmen
Now, let's get started by announcing the watches that we recommend for businessmen.
Ⅰ. [Grand Seiko]
"Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000"
"Ref.SLGH003"
SS (Stainless Steel)
The first one is Grand Seiko, a brand that Japan is proud of around the world.
The model we are introducing this time is the popular "Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000" "Ref. SLGH003," a model that Commit Ginza has sold many times in the past.
The dial is in the brand's special color, Grand Seiko Blue, giving it a refreshing businessman look. The movement, Cal. 9SA5, uses a highly efficient escapement and twin barrels, achieving a high beat of 36,000 vibrations per hour and a significantly long life of approximately 80 hours when fully wound. Equipped with reliable high-performance features, it will be a trustworthy partner for busy businessmen.

The second watch we would like to introduce is from A. Lange & Söhne, which is listed as one of the world's five greatest watches.
This is the popular "Saxonia" Ref. 219.026 from A. Lange & Söhne, which is simple yet elegant.
The long hour and minute indices give it a bold design that is characteristic of Lange, and the 35mm diameter fits well under a shirt, making it ideal for businessmen. The sophisticated design of the Saxonia, which can be seen casually from the wrist, will make a good impression on others just by wearing it.

"Ref. BB3910/15/984"

The third watch we would like to introduce is Breguet, which, like A. Lange & Söhne, is one of the world's five greatest watches.
This is the "Classic" Ref. BB3910/15/984, which is as popular as the "Marine".
Abraham-Louis Breguet, a genius watchmaker, is said to have invented or improved about 70% of the mechanisms used in modern wristwatches, and is also known as the Leonardo da Vinci of the watch world. The "Classique" series is a model in which Breguet has rearranged its design to suit modern times. The combination of Breguet hands, Roman numerals, and a guilloche dial gives an intellectual impression, and will make you look like a capable man, an elite businessman.

IV. [Chopard]
"Alpine Eagle Small"
"Ref.298601-3001"

The fourth watch we would like to introduce is Chopard, a luxury watch brand that Switzerland is proud of.
This is the small size "Alpine Eagle" Ref. 298601-3001, which has recently become a new iconic model.
The Alpine Eagle, with its neat and modern design inspired by the eagles and biotopes of the Alps, is characterized by its galvanic-processed brass blue dial with sunburst decoration. This beautiful blue is said to be inspired by the iris of an eagle's eye, giving it an attractive finish that is not found in other models. This watch is comparable to the luxury sports watches Nautilus and Royal Oak, which have been gaining popularity in recent years, so if you come across it, it's a good time to buy it.

SS (Stainless Steel)
The last brand on our list is Rolex, a familiar name when it comes to luxury watches.
This is the popular professional model "Explorer I" "Ref. 14270", loved by everyone for its timeless design and universality.
Honestly, there is no other model that can be used in such a wide range of situations. I think it is no exaggeration to say so. The "Ref. 14270" that I chose this time is an all-tritium model with an atmospheric feel, and while it is simple, it has a moderate vintage feel. If you are a businessman who does not know what kind of watch to buy, the "Explorer I" is the answer.
