5 Watches Every Man Needs - Do You Have Them?

- Ok, "needs" is a bit much. But tonight's show features five types of luxury watch that every man - and possibly woman - should include in their watch collections. From dive watches to dress watches, Tim Mosso discusses the best luxury watches to buy for a well rounded collection. The Omega Seamaster, Patek Philippe Aquanaut, and Vacheron Constantin Overseas feature prominently in this discussion.
The five watches everyone needs include dress watches, dive watches, all around watches, chronographs, and travel time watches.
Omega Seamaster is the eternal rival of the Rolex Submariner. But in a world where even a basic Submariner Date costs $10,250, a Seamaster Diver 300M makes more sense for $5,900. With a 300-meter diving depth to match the Rolex, a helium escape valve available only on the more expensive Sea-Dweller, and James Bond links to match Rolex's historic connections to 007, the Omega Seamaster is smart choice for watch collectors on a budget. Not only can this dive watch be used with a bathing suit, it can be deployed with a business suit for office duty. Model reference numbers include 210.30.42.20.03.001 and 210.30.42.20.01.001.
The Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921 is the most icon design in the catalog of Switzerland's oldest watchmaker. The American 1921 is a rectangular dress watch drawn from vintage Vacheron Constantin models that may have been intended for drivers of early cars. Today, the American 1921 is a luxury dress watch with the grace to rival both Patek Philippe's Calatrava and the throng of offerings from upstart independent watchmakers. This 40mm Vacheron Constantin is ultra thin and easy to wear on small wrists, but a 36.5mm midsize model is available for notably petit watch buyers. Model reference numbers include 82035/000R-9359 and 82035/000R-9359.
All around isn't an established market segment or luxury watch class, but it makes sense to those who collect watches. An all around watch is suitable almost everywhere and all the time. The Cartier Santos is the world's oldest pilot's watch, earliest tool watch, and oldest Cartier wrist watch design of any kind. The latest Cartier Santos includes impressive water resistance, magnetic resistance, and a bracelet that can be sized without tools. Cartier includes a manufacture caliber 1847 MC automatic movement and a second accessory strap for use with the watch's quick-release bracelet system. Model references include WSSA0062 and WSSA0064.
A chronograph could fit into any of the other categories in this discussion, but the colossal popularity of this complication warrants its own place in a gentleman's watch collection. The Zenith El Primero chronograph family is legendary, so Tim selects one of the latest - the Zenith Chronomaster Sport - because it embodies rich history, value, and capability. Now available with a green dial and ceramic bezel, the Chronomaster Sport is a compelling chronograph with a Zenith El Primero caliber 3600 to keep the time. It includes column wheel operation, a foudroyante seconds hand, and 60 hours of power reserve. Model references include 03.3100.3600/69.M3100 and 03.3100.3600/21.M3100.
Dual time watches dominate the travel time watch genre, and Tim has selected the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time as one of the best a man can buy. At 41mm in stainless steel, the Overseas Dual Time is nicely sized for a modern sports complication watch. The second time zone is useful for travelers or those who must keep track of distant time zones. Vacheron adds value with a bracelet that can be removed without tools in favor of one of the two accessory straps - rubber and leather - included with the watch. At $30,900, the Overseas Dual Time is an effective companion for any watch collector who requires more than one time zone. Model references include 7920V/210A-B546 and 7920V/210A-B334.
All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"

I will agree with Tim that The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time is a best buy , in my opinion. I bought one in Switzerland,some years ago from an AD and it's 41mm was the perfect size for me, with an automatic movement. Now, I'm curious to see how much it's worth today, so I'm planning to do a little research. I see watches as investments, so I'm hoping to make a profit from this one.
Great that will fetch you some cash. *I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $26million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
How did you grow your portfolio to $26m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?
I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate and long-term ETFs like VOO and SCHD. I have also started acquiring some tech ETFs, including IITU and IUCM.
Sure it's all about DCA, could you please share her details with me so I can look her up on web? Thanks!
She is well known as - Diana Leayani Lara. please do your own research.
Looks like I was able to get all 5 types of watches…but I had to improvise at a lower price range. 😂😂😂
Thank goodness we have OTHER manufacturers that actually make accurate, attractive, and SANELY priced watches that many of us can realistically afford.
Yrs ago Tim inspired me in this world of Horological history. Glad I found you again!Is it realistic to even think any man today owns five watches
I had five. Gifted one to my nephew. So, I’m down to four.
For years I’s thinking of myself as a one watch man, lol
Some have none, other have way more than five 😅
Thank you for following on this journey. I appreciate your long-term support of our channel.
Best,
Tim
Dress: Nomos Tangente in platinum
Diver: Glashutte Original SeaQ blue dial
Daily: Blancpain Aqualung 100 hours (limited edition to 1,999)
Chrono: JLC Deepsea Chronograph (42mm)
Travel: Rolex GMT 126711CHNR
As to the Aquanaut: I’d love to buy it new at MSRP, but I think it’s disingenuous to say that the problem is waiting for it. There’s no “wait list” for that watch. There’s a “spend a couple $100,000 in less desirable pieces” to get the call.
@@remus2001 not always true - depends on the dealer. But if you don’t make an effort to get to know them, then it’s true
Plus Tim left off the fact that The 1916 Corp runs the Patek Philippe Boutique in Miami Florida. I had a very poor experience with the woman who runs the Boutique.
Great show! 🎉
I’ve 4/5 watches. I might get a dress watch at some point in my life.
Surprising, a Casio G-Shock covers all categories but dress 😂
On a serious note though, my 5 picks would be:
Dress: Cartier Tank Must Large - black dial;
Diver: Seiko Tuna 7C46;
Daily: jlc master control sector dial;
Chrono: Omega Speedy;
Travel: Casio G-Shock Square.
Cheers!
What’s the story with Tim not being able to mention Rolex?
I think Rolex sent them some kind of cease and desist since they’re doing their own CPO program, same reason he doesn’t show them on the Reviews channel
@@ozzy1154 No legal action or notice like that. It's just that factory-approved Rolex CPO vendors are vendors only at this point. We have only a handful of Rolex promotion on social, which is why you'll see the 1-minute features but nothing more.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916company good to know Tim!
This self censorship is beyond ridiculous. Anybody can buy and sell Rolex and talk about it openly. It’s free commodity- not plutonium or ivory !
Great show Tim and crew, the hair cut makes look like 10 years younger 😁
I think the 5 watches every man needs are: Diver, Chronograph, two hander dress-watch, All-rounder watch, and a fun funky watch.
Love this video Tim as always! Keen them coming ❤❤❤
I'm sure I'm missing several great ones but these come to mind first, not in any order though...
Dress watches: Rolex Datejust / Omega Deville or Constellation / Grand Seiko Skyflake or SBGA401 / Breguet Marine or Classique / Patek Calatrava
Dive watches: Omega Planet Ocean 39.5mm / Rolex SeaDweller / Seiko Prospex / Tudor Pelagos
All around watches: Cartier Santos De Cartier / Rolex Explorer / Datejust, Tudor BlackBay, Omega Aqua Terra, Moser Pioneer or Streamliner, AP RO, Casio G-Shock
Chronographs: Omega Speedmaster Or Zenith El Primero
Travel time watches: GS SBGE255 or SBGE257 or SBGE305 / Tudor BB58 GMT
The VC 1921 is, although still a dress watch, actually a drivers watch. If you have it on the inside of the wrist and the hands on the lower part of the wheel, 12 is up on the dial.
I've never seen this confirmed. Everyone knows about the wrist angle on a steering wheel, but as far as I know, nobody's ever established that VC intended it that way. I've never seen confirmation from VC. Some historic versions of this watch are at a different orientation that makes reading more -- not less -- difficult when driving.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916company Thanks for clearing that out. A bit of a mystery then.
Kind regards. Stefan from Sweden.
Hi guys,,,, missed the evening show as is 6am here, Singapore...... Great show!!!!!!
I would love to find the VC HA-1921 in 950P to the collection. Absolutely stunning piece!
Hi Tim, so happy to see you.
All the best.
I have a vacheron overseas dual timer that I got from my grandfather. I love wearing that watch... It and my blancpain leman dual timer are my daily wears (dual time/gmt/world time are my favorite complications).
Miss you Tim, love you love your show!
You forgot to mention on the Lang & Hayne they use a diamond on the balance wheel instead of a synthetic sapphire
Reverso (dress watch), Daytona (chronograph), Aquanaut (all arounder), G-shock (beater), Submariner (Diver), 5326G (Calendar, Travel time).
Dress: VC Patrimony
Diver: GO SeaQ panoramadate
Daily:czapek antarctique
Chrono: JLC reverso tribute chrono
GMT: PF GMT Rattrapante
you must be rich asf brother
@@JP-xt3gp this is “goal” territory. Not “achieved” territory. I am not rich but I am irresponsible. So this is doable.
@@Njl1693 I can safely say us watch guys are ALL financially irresponsible 😂
Bought a Railmaster at the Bala office yesterday. I caught a glimpse of you heading up the spiral staircase!
Such a great episode. Loved it.
Thank you, Joseph!
Best,
Tim
Love it, Tim, thanks for a great presentation (Ron H in the live stream)

“For a company best know for making ladies quartz watches”. I’m just going to leave it right there.
Loving Tim's new Jacob and Co.
Hmmm... I might not have a Jacob and Co. budget.
Best,

Fashion on point!✨
Thanks Tim. You're a legend 🤘
Thank you Tim and team. Kindly. PT.
@Tim, I am still very confused as to what a tool watch or dive watch is; Tool watches go all the way back to the 1920's and would be considered dress watches today. Splitting watches into a genre can get confusing as I know first hand from my vintage soviet watches. Field watches were around way before dive watches and field watches evolved with fully lumed dials, to partially lumed and they got watered down to being less functional as time went by
Have a few ressence in stock ?
I need, well i want a GMT :) to round out my collection an perhaps another Diver
Love the show Tim.
I mean very poor men can get by with as few as 3 watches.
The Overseas Dual Time in steel is beautiful but very poor value. Now $38,000 new. And recently they have stopped the alligator strap and give you plain calfskin instead. A miserly move not worthy of the brand. The Rolex Sky-Dweller carries some unfortunate brand baggage but is outstanding value by comparison.
Sjö Sandström very cool!
Maybe the F1 deal was like a 10 yr deal. Its alot of $$ when you say you might sponsor F1 for 10yrs ( 10 x $150m = $1.5b) $1.5b will built a new factory etc etc
Every man needs…yep okay
so weiRd nOt mentioning the reLativEly common luXury hype brand
Looks like Tim has been cutting his own hair 🤔
The commenters here struggle with the theme of the show 😂. When a title gets your knickers in such a twist you definitely need an R word watch
Reality check required!
5 watches..1-retractable wire saw2-micro camera,3-single shot .22, 4-laser and..5- remote detonator
The dress watch suggestions cost more than my car and house 😂
Got any suggestions for poor people like me? 😅
Poor on this channel starts at $10K.
@@tudorserban111 sheeeet 😂
Then i'd be dirt poor
does all this "R" word shenanigans have anything to do w/ the 👑pulling their F1 ad deal 🤔? LOL 🤣
Change the vid title to: “Every watch a millionaire man needs”.
Well I respectfully disagree with All your choices. Watches are personal aren’t they, but thank you for presenting these rather ugly goofy hard
to read watches. I would never have found them on my own.
What a joke 😂
Thanks for boosting my view total!
Best,
Tim
@@jorgecorrea9310 I think the joke is on you my friend😂😂😂
No one needs a watch
Yes, no one does, we buy for the pure pleasure of enjoying something one does not need😂😂😂
@@abhaig I'm guessing he didn't watch the intro to the segment...
Best,
