Before we dive into Brittany’s top picks, let’s explore what makes a dress watch a proper dress watch. Traditionally, dress watches feature simple functions with time-only dials or a date mechanism and elegant design sets. They’re usually slim enough to slide effortlessly under the cuff of a dress shirt and sometimes utilize precious metals.
On the other hand, it isn’t unusual to see the modern collector pairing a non-dress watch, such as the sleek Daytona or Submariner in Oystersteel, with formal or semi-formal attire. Ultimately, it comes down to the wearer and what they feel comfortable sporting on their wrist on various occasions. There really aren’t any rules as to what is truly appropriate.
Watch Gringa’s list will have a little something for everyone, including sport and dress models.
OMEGA DE VILLE
The list starts strong with the sophisticated Omega De Ville. Elegant in its simplicity, the De Ville features a design to suit nearly any wrist with sleek lines, refined dials, and uncomplicated movements. Simply put, it is impressive and reliable.
The De Ville came to market in the 1960s and remains a fixture of the Omega catalog today. The collection ranges from classy to slightly sportier and includes a case size, metal finish, and dial color for nearly any collector.

CARTIER SANTOS
Cartier is, perhaps, one of the most iconic luxury brands in existence. Luckily, the Santos is relatively affordable, making it easy to invest in an impressive statement piece that boasts both classic dress watch design and the exclusivity of the famous Cartier brand.
It’s often characterized by a square-shaped case with softly rounded edges, contemporary screws on the bezel, and Cartier’s iconic tall Roman numeral hour markers and sword-shaped hands.
For ladies, it looks gorgeous with a little black dress. At the same time, it also looks quite dashing tucked under the sleeve of a black tux or suit jacket. The Santos also holds a special place in horology as one of the first commercially-produced men’s wristwatches. So, it’s also an interesting conversation piece. What isn’t there to love?

PATEK PHILIPPE CALATRAVA
While the Nautilus and Grand Complications often first come to mind when one thinks of the Patek catalog, it’s the Calatrava that’s made its way onto Brittany’s list. The Calatrava is perfect for New Year’s Eve – It boasts an undeniably refined design that just exudes sophistication and luxury without appearing too contrived or flashy.
The Calatrava is the essence of what a true dress watch is. It’s simple, minimal, and subtle in its luxury. The Clous de Paris bezel and elegant Roman numeral hour markers are just a few of the signature features we find hard to resist.

ROLEX DAY-DATE
No dress watch list would be complete without the iconic Rolex Presidential Day-Date. It absolutely oozes class and opulence with a finish always produced from precious metal. The Day-Date also boasts Rolex’s most refined bracelet option: the President bracelet with semi-circular links. It’s a stunning dress watch that doubles as a bold statement piece.
It also boasts one of the most impressive reputations within the Rolex portfolio as the watch of choice among many former US Presidents, hence its nickname “The President’s Watch.”
Anybody who is anybody wears the gold Rolex Day-Date. It’s flashier than the other watches on our list yet still maintains a level of refinement and class – perfect for your New Year’s Eve soiree.

ROLEX SUBMARINER
The Submariner rounds out our list. If a watch with sportier style speaks to you more, then the Submariner is the watch to wear as you’re sipping champagne and counting down to midnight. It’s true that the Submariner is not technically a dress watch. It’s a professional dive watch. But, as Brittany stated earlier in this video, there are no rules. A dress watch is what you make of it, and the Submariner is certainly an exceptional choice. It was good enough for James Bond in his sleek black tux, after all.
