Most Affordable Watches from Luxury Watch Brands

hello watch lovers and welcome to this video where I'll be looking at the most affordable watches from the best luxury Brands I'm going to show you the entrylevel pieces that will get your wrist fully logoed up for the least amount of money so let's begin starting with the chuda 1926 so 1926 so named after an important year in the company's history as per the naming Convention of watches the year the chuda name was first registered by Hans wilsdorf 18 years after he founded Rolex so you might say these watches are built to Rolex standards you might not say that but built in a modern manufacturing facility guarded by New Zealand Rugby players nevertheless so the 1926 there's 104 variations of this watch with different size color and strap options the most expensive of which is around £3,500 that's a two-tone steel and rose gold case and bracelet with a black dial and Diamond markers the cheapest is 1 1,610 L and that's 28 mm in diameter on a leather strap but for a smidge more money you can get the more universally sized 36 mm version for 1,650 you get a steel case and bezel which are polished to a lovely smooth mirror finish the dial is white opal line with a delicately embossed pattern and you get a mixture of Applied numerals and arrow-shaped hour markers the dial is marked with the text rotor self-winding which gives it a little bit of a vintage touch and inside it's powered by the self-winding mechanical movement caliber t601 which gives good time uh this is such a cool cool watch it's a great allrounder you can dress it up dress it down dress it middle whever you want it does it all and it's just £1,650 for the Tuda logo alone that's an absolute steal so right then Grand Seiko next and did you know that you can get the beauty of driven snow for for just £2,100 yeah I'm talking about Grand seiko's iconic snowflake dial from the Heritage collection for just over £2,000 that's the famous dial that depicts the Rippling snow that surrounds the studio where the watch was made comes complete with all the perfect mirror finishing on the hands and markers and the clean flowing lines of a grand Seiko case so what's the catch I hear you say well that's the amazing thing there is no catch oh no wait yeah there is a catch actually um it's a tiny bit little 28.9 mm in diameter so not for everyone also it doesn't include the Exquisite Grand Seiko Spring Drive movement either yeah it's a quartz but hey if you're down with quartz and you want something a little bit bigger then check out these bad boys this is the grand Seiko Quartz sbgx 263 and 261 and these are two stunning entry-level models for the same price £2,100 these watches are equipped with with the 9f quartz movement which as quartz movements go is actually a really pretty thing beautifully put together with quartz crystals handpicked and aged apparently then rigorously tested for their performance and accuracy all done in-house by Grand Seiko themselves so that alone is quite impressive and again you get Grand seo's beautifully polished mirror finish on the edges of the hands and applied markers and meanwhile the case has an elaborate brushed satin finish it's 37 mm in diameter which is a sweet size if you ask me you can choose from Sunray champagne or black for the dial and yeah you're getting all that Exquisite detail and finishing the in-house manufacturer and just the general Grand Seiko Excellence for £2,100 now that's hard to beat so next you'll find tag Hoya's entrylevel models reside in its Formula 1 series most noticeably is this furiously fun Trio uh with funky fresh colors that hark back to the spirit of those first tag Hoya Formula 1 pieces from the 1980s and you get that lovely Motor Racing aesthetic for which tag Hoyer is so synonymous um so these snazzy chronographs are £1,700 but you can actually get the coveted tag Hoya logo for a bit less uh in the Formula 1 date watch which is only 1,250 you still get an iconic tag Hoya watch with all that racing heritage injected right into the looks of the watch it's got a solid block-like case which is quite unfussy but nicely finished with some very precise lines from the brushing on the steel there the bezel is also a solid chunk it's steel and coated with black PVD and there's some nice chunky numerals on there which are embossed awesomely and there's a big chunky Crown to match for all your time setting needs the black dial features applied markers and bold 12 and six numerals and the the indexes and hands are steel with white super luminova for high legibility while driving at night and at speed uh yeah this is a really cool watch from a top top brand for racing enthusiasts watch lovers and anyone who loves a good bargain really so next this is brightlings endurance Pro it's a watch designed for athletes or anyone in the market for a sporty chronograph it's what brightling calls the ultimate ath leure watch so it's a nice combination of a rugged outdoor watch and a casual everyday wear for £2,800 you can get yourself a big bold brightling it's 44 mm in diameter with a bidirectional compass scale bezel there's a sapphire crystal over the dial and a double Tang style Buckle which just on paper is fun to say uh inside powering the endurance Pro is brightlings caliber 82 Thermo compensated cost certified super quartz chronograph which is delivering ing massive amounts of precision on a daily basis uh for 2 years approximately which is as long as the battery lasts but most notably for me is the ultra light bright light case which is bright Ling's own proprietary material it's lighter than titanium and highly resistant to scratches and corrosion but my favorite part it's hypoallergenic so peace of mind if you enjoy the challenges of a rigorous workout but have sensitive wrists like I do now wrists that we're watch can feel soft as your face with mild green brightling bright light H there you go brightling you have that one 10 bars of water resistance good for surface level swimming or indeed washing up now then Omega one of the most prestigious Swiss luxury watch makers so how much do you need to spend to enter into the joys of Omega ownership well the answer is 2,970 and that will get you any of the devil PR preses on the top row there so the Omega devil collection is a very attractive bunch of watches very classical elegant design with lots of lovely touches and nice little details you get a highly polished round case and bracelet all very clean and understated the dial comes in a variety of different styles all sunbrushed and featuring a date window at the 3:00 position and they all have applied Roman numerals one interesting detail you get a watch makers 4 which has four eyes instead of the traditional subtractive IV and this is a call back to the early days of Swiss watch making when the packets of Roman numerals that watch makers would send away for they would always come and they'd have loads of eyes but barely any V's so they'd get around it by using more eyes for the four probably it comes in a nice gift box what is that Pine also looks really great on any one of the uh many Omega fabric straps as well so despite this somewhat vintage tone it works as an everyday wear too but the piece of resistance for me here is is the mechanical movement the caliber 2500 inside as a self-winding chronometer with omega's own coaxial escapement and a beautiful rodium plated finish to boot and for me that makes it a very compelling offering you getting the Omega name with an in-house caliber inside and above all a beautiful beautiful watch for less than £3,000 uh that is hugely enticing but hold on though Cartier has entered the chatau now we all know Cartier is all things glamorous and luxurious Timeless objects and diamonds but how does one begin to get a taste of such Splendor well the most affordable Cartier time piece is the Ronde must dearer watch and that's £3,200 now it's a high autonomy quartz watch in a 36 mm steel case and it has all the elegant Hallmarks of a Cartier watch you get a sand blasted silver dial with printed Roman numerals and an inner chapter ring also features a gently pressed pattern around the outer ring looks very refined shimmers nicely in the light you get a heat blued steel sword hands and that famous blue beaded cabachon set into the crown it looks great on the wrist when it's mighty morphing time or you're warding off evil spirits not sure what's going on there um but it really is a beautiful Cartier creation and unmistakably Cartier as well so you're getting those pure lines and precise details yeah lovely this is a time piece that's met gal ready and worthy of any watch collection so what about something a bit more functional uh we move on to IWC now when it comes to the most affordable IWC watch I've got a few options for you here so for 4,300 you can bag the Pilot's watch automatic 36 that's the most affordable IWC stainless steel case automatic self-winding and a blue Sunray dial on a leather strap very nice perfect watch for any occasion now you could pay a bit more £150 more and you could enjoy the Timeless appeal of the ptoo automatic this is an understated classic beautiful watch very elegant but again versatile enough for the day-to-day for £ 4,450 and you can choose from a number of style options it's got applied Roman numerals and I'm going to say comet shaped hands and there's a little red 60 on the black dial version which is cool yeah it's a gorgeous watch but how's about this for just £50 more you could try the Pilot's watch automatic Spitfire has a cool name and has that really distinctive IWC Pilot's watch appearance comes in a tidy 39 mm case you get a slightly Smoky textured dial with sword hands filled with a lovely warm vintage inspired Loom highly visible with white numerals popping against the black dial and you get a chunky ner crown and a lovely green textile strap that really ties the whole thing together and there's a picture of an airplane on the back which is nice juta next and the most affordable jlc is also the most iconic for £6,700 you can own jlc's Flagship watch the reverso specifically the reverso classic mono with its beautiful Art Deco design and its unique reversing case which was made for polo players in the olden days so if you didn't know back in the 1930s Polo games would just begin spontaneously and without warning and the flustered players had no time to take off their wrist watches and so they would often get damaged during the uh the spontaneous polo match but luckily jlc was on hand with a solution and that was a flippable watch case that concealed and protected the dial anyway it's since become a model of Elegance you get the rectangular case with the three gunes top and bottom and the perfectly gliding satisfying reversing case you get a two-tone finish dial 12 Arabic numerals and blued sword hands to match the lovely blue leather strap it's a quartz m movement inside so you do miss out on the impeccable craft of jlc's watchmaking somewhat but you do get all the reverse in case flipping action action action and that's the main thing isn't it now we come to it what's the most affordable Rolex model so that would be the Oyster Perpetual in a 28 mm case size and that costs £ 4,850 in a slightly larger 36 mm diameter case it costs £ 5,300 okay good luck but finally how much dough do you think you need to Pony up to get yourself one of those fancy looking protect phips the Pinnacle of watchmaking and the absolute finest time pieces ever about well the most affordable protect FIP is the 24 quartz which is $3,730 you get a stainless steel rectangular case 25x 30 mm with gem setting either side of the sunburst blue dial and the E15 quartz movement inside which isn't bad it is essentially a ladies watch but if you like your watches small and a bit blingy then more power to you but if you want something with a slightly larger diameter the next most affordable pect Filip is the 6119 G calatrava the case is white gold and the bezel is Goos with a hob nail pattern you get faceted applied white gold hour markers combined with dine Style hours and minute hands you get a charcoal gray dial with a vertical satin finish and a small second sub dial and inside is the manually wound movement 3255 PS which has a 65h hour power Reserve this is Apex watches time right here and it costs £27,500 so yeah but you know it's good to have goals and so there you go those are some of the most affordable
