Which classic round dial watches to choose? Recommendations from the IWC Portugieser and Cartier collections
Every man should own a dependable timepiece suitable for all occasions and situations. Whether you prefer a classic, refined black or brown leather strap, or a durable, masculine stainless steel bracelet, a timeless round dial is a choice that never fails.
The two watches recommended today are the IWC Portuguese automatic mechanical watch andCartier Calibre de Cartierseries men's mechanical watch, featuring an imposing dial, making it a classic and versatile choice.
[NOOB Perfect Edition] IWC Portugieser Series Bracelet Automatic Mechanical Watch IW500107 Seven-Day Power Reserve
Popular model, high-quality power reserve movement
Recommendation Rating: ★★★★★
As a popular model in this series, it has won the favour of many watch enthusiasts. The first impression of this seven-day power reserve model is its grandeur; the imposing dial paired with blue sword-shaped hands gives this watch a look that is both understated and luxurious. The embossed Arabic numeral indices and willow-shaped hands are essentially identical in appearance to the original, both using heat-blued steel (the colour of the hands and indices varies depending on the angle and lighting).
In terms of details, the black screen-printed logo and the indices on the two sub-dials have consistent font weight. It uses sapphire crystal with a blue coating, providing a clear blue reflection. The overall case curvature and edges are distinct, with fine straight-grained brushing. The thickness of this watch is approximately 14MM, which is moderate and not cumbersome.
[1:1 Boutique] Cartier Calibre de Cartier series men's mechanical watch W7100013
Quality upgrade, fidelity upgrade
Recommendation Rating: ★★★★★
When it comes to classic watches, I believe this Cartier Calibre seriesmen's mechanical watchis a great choice. It features a 42MM case diameter suitable for a man's wrist, and the exhibition case back allows for a clear view of the movement construction. The replica ETA2824 movement provides a precise timekeeping experience.
For such a round dial, pairing it with a leather strap gives it an elegant and refined temperament. The watch offers a water resistance depth of 30 metres, which is more than sufficient for general water exposure.
Summary: The round dial design exudes elegance and gravity. Round watches paired with leather straps have always been the perfect match. Some people often keep a canvas strap on hand to prevent the wrist from feeling stuffy in the summer. The Cartier Calibre series men's mechanical watch paired with a leather strap creates a gentle and refined look.
