The passion for classy, ​​elegant and high-quality wristwatches is associated with high purchase prices. Wristwatches are therefore considered the ultimate when it comes to stylish accessories for men. Luxury wristwatches always represent a certain investment or a lasting value that will accompany the wearer until the end of his life at best - no wonder then that four, five or even six-figure sums are often invested in high-quality luxury watches. However, as befits gentlemen, in the world of luxury watches, not much is said about price. What is clear, however, is that the price scale is completely open at the top. Nevertheless, it does not always have to be the most expensive model among luxury watches. Even classy wristwatches in the entry-level segment under 1,000 euros can be a long-lasting and worthwhile investment for life and serve the wearer as an elegant accessory. In the almost overcrowded wristwatch market, it is important to pick the best from the cake. In today's blog post, we therefore present the 8 most beautiful watches for men up to 1,000 euros.

Longines HydroConquest

The Longines HydroConquest is a classic diving watch and impresses primarily with its elegant, timeless design. The large Arabic numerals and indices on the elegant dial of the Longines HydroConquest are reminiscent of the well-known Rolex Submariner. However, the luxury watch from Longines is not a crude imitation.

The Longines HydroConquest is made of high-quality stainless steel and has a unidirectional rotating bezel, a robust ETA movement and scratch-resistant sapphire glass with a special anti-reflective coating. One of the greatest advantages of this elegant watch is that it is waterproof up to a depth of 300 meters. Thanks to its minimalist design, the HydroConquest diving watch from Longines suits almost every occasion and outfit and has now become a sought-after accessory for the well-known brand.

Longines Conquest GMT

Over time, Longines has not only developed high-priced luxury watches, but also an outstanding reputation for producing affordable but high-quality wristwatches thanks to the Conquest series . The Conquest GMT from Longines also underlines this reputation. Thanks to the integrated GMT function, people who work or travel across time zones also get their money's worth. The Longines Conquest GMT always exudes a touch of the self-confident and style-conscious man of the world.

Tissot Seastar 1000

Tissot is part of the Swatch Group and offers high-quality wristwatches for under 1,000 euros. However, thanks to its varied history and long-standing tradition, Tissot is able to set itself apart from other watch manufacturers. In addition to numerous other models from the Tissot brand, such as the T-Touch or Powermatic models, the Seastar 1000 is worth taking a closer look. The sporty designed wristwatch has the reliable ETA movement and is available with both a stainless steel and a textile strap. Thanks to the successful mix of sporty design and classic basic tone, the Tissot Seastar 1000 is a solid and versatile model in the entry-level segment up to 1,000 euros.

Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80

The Le Locle Powermatic 80 from Tissot is a classic, elegant three-hand watch and is one of the brand's bestsellers. The watch has an automatic Powermatic 80 caliber built into it, hence the name of the timepiece. The watch also has a power reserve of 80 hours. At an affordable price, men can get an elegant 39.3 mm high-quality stainless steel wristwatch, equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, mineral glass back, date display and steel strap.

Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer

The Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer is one of the real classics among the entry-level watches. Its classic design and round case go perfectly with a classy business suit and the blue hands on a silver background attract countless glances. The Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer also impresses with its tried and tested ETA 2895-2 automatic movement and the subtle second display, which is based on traditional pocket watches. This elegant wristwatch in no way needs to shy away from comparisons with similar but significantly more expensive timepieces from famous brands, because the Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer is truly a timelessly beautiful classic and an excellent companion for the style-conscious man!

Hamilton Khaki Field

The Khaki Field automatic watch is also made by Hamilton and should not be missing from the luxury watches for men in the entry-level segment up to 1,000 euros. In addition to a large, elegant case, the high-quality H-10 three-hand movement with a long-lasting power reserve of up to 80 hours is also one of the outstanding features of the Hamilton Khaki Field wristwatch. The high-quality sapphire glass and a water resistance of up to 100 meters also speak in favor of buying this watch. In addition to all these positive aspects, there is another special feature worth mentioning, because the Hamilton Khaki Field is a movie star. It is a faithful replica of the watch that Jessica Chastain wore in the film "Interstellar".

Certina DS Action

Like Tissot, Certina is also part of the Swatch Group, so it is not particularly surprising that the DS Action is significantly cheaper than other luxury watches in this blog post. However, the price difference between the luxury watches in the entry-level segment is by no means an indicator of lower quality. Quite the opposite, because the Certina DS Action is also equipped with a high-quality ETA movement. Its imaginative look of the red second hand on a classic black background makes the Certina DS Action a real eye-catcher. The DS Action owes the traditionally large indices and the unidirectional rotating bezel to the lineage of diving watches.

Mido Ocean Star

Mido rounds off our top 8 with the Ocean Star model. This wristwatch impresses with its balance of sportiness and elegance. Equipped with an ETA automatic caliber, the Mido Ocean Star has a power reserve of up to 80 hours. The day of the week and date display add two more useful functions to the simple blue dial. The unidirectional rotating bezel, also in blue, is skilfully accentuated by the orange tip of the second hand and orange lettering at the number 6.
