We’ve pulled together our top watch picks to help you to add a touch of fun to your summer wardrobe…
Add Some Colour
The fun-loving nature of summer allows you to get away with a more playful style when it comes to your wristwatch. One of the best ways to do this is to incorporate some colour into your timepiece choice. The bright hues reflect the vibrancy of the season, and it’s these simple, yet effective touches that create a look that immediately transports you to summer days filled with laughter and joy.
The IWC DA VINCI AUTOMATIC WATCH is an elegant timepiece that has a playful side. The bold raspberry pink, alligator strap is a fun addition to the refined timepiece and the beautiful, bright colour looks amazing in summer. The diamond-set bezel is simple, yet sophisticated and the refined dial adds a touch of glamour, creating a beautiful wristwatch that will no doubt be admired.
Chopard is well-known for their fun-loving timepieces and the CHOPARD HAPPY SPORT WATCH is no exception. The blue mother-of-pearl dial has a whimsical feel to it that’s reminiscent of hazy summer days. The dial is then finished with five diamonds floating behind the sapphire crystal glass, adding another dreamy twist to the timepiece. The leather strap adds the final summer touch, reflecting the blue skies of the season.
If it’s blue sky style that you’re after then the JAEGER-LECOULTRE MASTER GRANDE ULTRA THIN is the perfect pick. The stunning blue tones pick up on the bright colours of the season in a sophisticated style. The ultimate gentleman’s watch has a striking blue dial with classic touches. Presented on a blue strap it’s a luxurious wristwatch with its own playful side.
You can still create a vibrant summer style with just a touch of colour and the TUDOR BLACK BAY WATCH is an ideal way to do that. Its masculine look features a burgundy red bezel that injects just the right amount of personality. The black dial and stainless-steel bracelet really allow this colourful feature to pop, creating the perfect summer wristwatch.
Sporty Style
Summer is a season to explore and enjoy getting outdoors. A wristwatch with a sportier aesthetic can add to a more relaxed summer style, and days spent on long walks and picnics in the park. This sporty style can easily be achieved with fabric or rubber straps, as well as using colours that are a little more contemporary.
The OMEGA DE VILLE TRESOR LADIES WATCH is finished with a bright blue fabric strap. The more relaxed look of the material finish plays into the chilled out months of summer, whilst the bright hue is reminiscent of exotic seas. The diamond set bezel features two curved lines of gemstones, reflecting the soft waves of beaches and this timepiece conjures images of summery shores and days spent surfing.
An all-white look is immediately reminiscent of summer styles. The TAG HEUER AQUARACER LADIES WATCH captures that summer vibe perfectly with a white ceramic bracelet, case, bezel and dial. Its contemporary look adds to its a sporty feel and the simplicity of its design is what really creates such a striking look.
The PANERAI LUMINOR WATCH has a really statement style. The black rubber strap feels like it was made for exploring, and it has a robust and masculine feel to it. The distinctive case features the trademarked titanium crown protector and a black dial with luminous numerals and hour markers. The touches of bright orange and blue then add a strong finish to the sporty look.
A watch for days spent on the beach the PRE-OWNED BREITLING SUPEROCEAN HERITAGE II OCEAN CONSERVANCY WATCH was designed to commemorate the important partnership between Breitling and Ocean Conservancy. The fabric strap has been made from ECONYL yarn, an innovative material repurposed from nylon waste, once source of which is fishing nets from across the world. Once paired with the blue hues of the design you have a watch that’s made for summer sports lovers with a conscience.
