1Victorinox Swiss Army Alliance Sport Chronograph Watch
The Victorinox Swiss Army Alliance Sport is a great entry-level option for Swiss watch aficionados. Powered by a high-quality quartz movement, the timepiece has a dial with a classic chronograph layout and a built-in date complication.
We really like that the contrasting markers on the dial are shaped like the iconic Swiss Army Knife.
Other key features of the Alliance Sport chronograph watch include an anti-reflective sapphire crystal covering the dial, a great-looking and ergonomic rubber strap, and a case that measures 44 millimeters in diameter. It's also water-resistant to 100 meters.
The Seiko SNE331 Core has a military-inspired design that combines a 43-millimeter black stainless steel case and dial with contrasting markers. The nylon band matches the color of the timepiece's markers to complete the utilitarian vibe of the timepiece.
This stealthy Marathon timepiece is rugged and dependable in equal measure. Meticulously crafted to meet strict military specifications for search and rescue missions at sea, the Swiss-made watch is powered by a high-quality ETA movement — an industry benchmark for accuracy and reliability.
As expected from a proper tool watch, the Marathon GSAR has self-illuminating tritium gas tubes for reliable low-light legibility.
The 41-millimeter case and comfy rubber strap of the watch make it a great option for daily wear. The overall craftsmanship of the Marathon GSAR is exceptional and worthy of a higher price point.
Get yourself two watches for the price of one! Todd Snyder’s ’70s-inspired Timex military watch is the perfect casual timepiece to rock for an effortlessly cool look.
With an additional camo strap to change up the appearance of your watch with a matte-black 40-millimeter case, you’re getting a seriously good deal that’s worth a salute.
This Casio G-Shock pays homage to the iconic brand's first-ever timepiece from more than three decades ago. The timepiece's solar-powered digital movement is packed with features that include an alarm, a countdown timer, a stopwatch, and Bluetooth connectivity for linking with a smartphone, among many others.
The rugged watch has a stainless steel case and a matching bracelet. It's also water-resistant to 200 meters.
Seiko remains an industry leader when it comes to automatic dive watches at a reasonable price point. This Prospex model has a 44-millimeter case with a timeless design, as well as a beautifully patterned dial and contrasting markings.
The sturdy automatic movement of the timepiece has a date complication and a power reserve of 41 hours. Seiko offers the watch with an easily interchangeable silicone strap.
The Luminox Sea Series Coronado 3023 watch has a carbon-reinforced case, which is paired with a scratch-resistant, antireflective mineral crystal. Of course, being a Luminox offering, the timepiece has hand markers with the company's signature, self-powered Tritium illumination.
The watch is water-resistant to 200 meters. Its rubber strap has contrasting blue stitching, which matches perfectly with the hands and the bezel markings.
This black PVD-finished variant of Hamilton's Khaki Field range is powered by a high-quality automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve, and built-in day and date complications. The seconds hand has a bold red finish, which adds plenty of character to the otherwise stealthy-looking dial.
The stainless steel case of Khaki Field Automatic measures 42 millimeters in diameter. The timepiece comes on a rubber strap with great-looking texture.
The solar-powered Citizen Navihawk is handily one of the most feature-rich offerings in its price range. Its complications include an atomic clock synchronization for incredible accuracy, support for multiple time zones, a sophisticated chronograph, and a perpetual calendar, among others.
With a 46-millimeter case (without the crowns), this black watch isn't exactly subtle, but it wears comfortably on a rubber strap.
The Tissot T-Touch Solar watch is powered by light, so you don't need to worry about battery replacements. The timepiece is also quite a looker in the metal, sporting a lightweight titanium case, a green ceramic bezel with contrasting markings, and an embedded negative digital display.
Being a member of the T-Touch product family, the watch has a host of handy features that can be accessed via a tap on its sapphire crystal. They include a built-in compass, an altimeter, and a barometer, among others. Tissot has paired this T-Touch variant with a comfy silicone strap.
