In addition, there is a lot of difference in the design of the clock. Many watches have a dial in the same color. With our Maverick collection, we have chosen to highlight the dial. We have done this by providing the watch with a starry sky look. This creates a unique appearance that immediately stands out. This is how we distinguish ourselves from other brands.

How much does a good watch cost?
A good watch must meet five basic characteristics, regardless of the price range. First of all, it must be made of durable materials such as stainless steel (316L), titanium or ceramic, preferably with a PVD coating. In addition, scratch-free sapphire glass is certainly something to think about. Mineral glass is the most affordable choice. Also for frequent use, as well as a water resistance of at least 5 ATM. The movement must be reliable, with a good quartz movement or a certified mechanical movement. Finally, the finish of the watch must be neat and without defects.
Optional features such as a date display, glow-in-the-dark hands and a reliable (brand) name are also important to consider. It is important to look not only at the technical aspects of the watch, but also at the reputation of the brand and the possibility of getting a guarantee in the future.
If you want to buy an extremely luxurious watch, you can find good options with a budget of €1,500, such as vintage Omega models, modern Seiko Presage watches or pre-owned Cartier models. For those with a higher budget, around €2,500, there are even more options. For example, you can opt for new watches from brands such as Longines, Meistersinger, or vintage options from Tudor, Omega or Breitling. Each watch is an investment that is not only functional, but also radiates style and personality.
