Four Watches For Father’s Day

It might be a cliche, but a watch is one of the best gifts to give your dad for father’s day. It combines practical and sentimental values and will provide him with joy whenever he is wearing it. Which watch to get dad depends very much on what style your father prefers and what he enjoys doing. The following four might give you some inspiration on what to get for that important man in your life.

Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar
For classically inclined dads the Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar probably ticks all the boxes. The weekly calendar function is convenient and gives Calatrava a very distinct appearance, one with a casual edge thanks to its letters and numerals in a handwritten style. With a diameter of 40mm, does it have a perfect size, and while you would expect it to be made out of gold, it is a Calatrava after all, did Patek opt for stainless steel. That makes this watch perhaps the best formal watch with a casual touch you can buy for your father.

Hublot Big Bang Unico Golf Green Carbon
A dad who plays golf will, without a doubt, appreciate the Big Bang Unico Golf. He probably likes it so much that he might not even take it off when he steps off the green. What makes this watch so special is that it not only has an automatic movement but also allows dad to keep track of his score thanks to an intricate mechanical module. It not only counts the shots per hole but also adds them up for the total score. When this version made out of green carbon does not match his golf outfit, don’t worry, Hublot also makes a white and a blue version.

Rolex Sea-Dweller
The Sea-Dweller is a legend in its own right, as you can take it to even deeper depths than that other Rolex icon, the Submariner. That makes the Sea-Dweller the ultimate ‘tool watch’ and perfect for dads who enjoy diving and other water sports. However, even when that is the case, the watch will most likely spend more time out of the water than in it. That makes this version of the Sea-Dweller, which uses Oystersteel and yellow gold, a combination which Rolex introduced last year, perhaps the best choice. It is just as tough as its siblings, yet the yellow gold gives it just that little bit extra when combining it with a casual outfit, or even with a suit.

Zenith Defy 21 Land Rover Edition
For a father who enjoys the great outdoors and prefers to explore it in his Land Rover, the new Zenith Defy 21 Land Rover Edition is perfect. It comes in a 44mm large case in micro-blasted titanium, which gives it a very technical look. The rubber strap accentuates this even more, while orange details make the watch easier to read and add a dash of color. It is powered by the legendary El Primero caliber with its 1/100th of a second chronograph. The ultimate finishing touch can be found on the back, where the see-through caseback shows the oscillating weight, shaped like the rim of a Land Rover.
