THIS FATHER’S DAY, THE PERFECT GIFT brings a balance of a good time that lasts for a long time. There are few objects that carry weight beyond their material the way a watch does. More than steel, gold or ceramic, a watch is a moment that captures a memory. Whether that’s literally with the art of inscription or a figurative one where the choice of timepiece speaks for itself.

Father’s Day has always been less about the performance of celebration than the quiet rituals – the breakfast delivered, the lopsided tie, the call that comes long distance. In that sense, a watch feels like the perfect tribute. It is functional, yes, but also symbolic: a reminder that time is both fleeting and shared.

Watches have a way of compressing history into something tangible. They record the seconds but they also store the stories: the holiday where it first got wet, the meeting where it secured a deal, the family dinner where it was simply there, unremarked but present. To give a watch on Father’s Day is to give a keepsake of moments – past, present, and still to come.

As such, see below our favourite watches that will capture that perfect moment in time this Father’s Day.

The best watches to get dad this Father’s Day

Hublot Classic Fusion

$13,300 from Hublot

Hublot’s Classic Fusion is already a lesson in understatement, but rendered in taupe it becomes something else entirely. The muted dial and matching strap soften the brand’s reputation for boldness, giving the 45mm titanium case a quietly elegant edge. Inside beats the HUB1112 self-winding movement, robust, reliable, and discreet. Where many Hublots revel in said robustness, this one lowers the volume, proving that fusion can be subtle without losing its identity.

Bremont Supermarine SM43 Ceramic Black

$11,250 from Bremont

Bremont’s Supermarine range was built with utility in mind—diver’s watches tested against the extremes. The SM43 in ceramic black brings that military pragmatism into sharper focus. Its 43mm case is scratch-resistant, housing a chronometer-rated calibre with dual time functionality. Legibility is paramount: luminous indices and white detailing cut through the depth of the dial. It’s a serious watch, made for people who expect their gear to take a beating and still keep time.

Hermès H08

$14,200 from Hermès

Hermès channels its vision of the modern man into this fusion of concrete and carbon. Its square-cushion case is crafted from braided glass-fibre composite dusted with aluminium and slate, framed by a satin-brushed black ceramic bezel with polished chamfers. A grained, concrete‑coloured dial plays with light through applied Super‑LumiNova Arabic numerals. Underneath, the Manufacture H1837 automatic delivers 50 hours of autonomy, while the bold green rubber strap and DLC-coated titanium clasp seal its urban-explorer cred.

Black Bay 58 Ref:

$7,110 from Tudor

Tudor’s Black Bay 58 blends vintage style with serious engineering grunt. Its 39 mm stainless steel case, just 11.7 mm thick, recalls the proportions of 1950s dive watches. A domed burgundy dial and matching aluminium bezel reference an unreleased Submariner prototype, giving the watch its distinctive look. Powered by the COSC and METAS-certified MT5400-U calibre, it offers magnetic resistance and a 65-hour reserve. Water-resistant to 200 m and paired with a 5-link bracelet and T-Fit clasp, it’s a diver built for everyday wear.

Ralph Lauren Vintage 67

$5,500 from Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren’s Vintage  67 is peak American vintage. A 40 mm aged-steel case frames an opaline silver dial with lacquer numerals and an azured sub-seconds at six. Within, the manual-winding LJP7380 offers 90 hours of charisma-infused reserve.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface

$66,500 from Jaeger-LeCoultre

The Reverso remains engineered elegance, the watch person’s watch. In its pink‑gold Tribute guise, the dual‑faced case measures 45.6 by 27.4 mm, housing a hand‑wound calibre 822 with 42‑hour reserve. A grained dial and Milanese mesh bracelet refine the form, completing this archive‑meets‑icon piece.

Patek Philippe Calatrava

$68,750 from The Hourlgass

The Calatrava’s purity gets a modern twist in the 6007G. Its 40 mm white-gold case surrounds a black dial patterned with a carbon-style motif, lifted by sky-blue accents on the seconds hand and stitching. Inside, the automatic Calibre 26-330 powers time and date with a 35–45-hour reserve. Slim at 9 mm, water-resistant to 30 m, it’s classic Patek restraint with a discreet shot of colour.

Chanel J12 Bleu Diamond Tourbillon

POA from Chanel

The J12 Bleu Diamond Tourbillon elevates Chanel’s ceramic icon into high watchmaking. Its 38 mm matte-blue ceramic case and bracelet are hand-polished for a sculptural finish, framed by a sapphire-set bezel and diamond crown. At its centre, the open dial showcases the manual-winding Calibre 5 flying tourbillon, marked by a solitaire diamond. Limited to 55 pieces, it’s a rare fusion of technical mastery and Chanel’s poetic design.

TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch

$14,600 from TAG Heuer

The Monaco has always been tied to motorsport, and this titanium edition carries that spirit with a sharper edge. The 39 mm DLC-coated square case is lighter but tougher, housing the automatic Calibre 11 with a 40-hour reserve. A grained black-and-silver dial, red chronograph hand and single red marker at 12 recall Heuer’s stopwatch heritage. Built for the track, it feels as modern as it does nostalgic.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300m

$10,950 from Omega

Made famous on the wrist of British agents, Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M is stylish workhorse of a watch.

Santos De Cartier

$12,800 from Cartier

The Santos’ geometric simplicity remains a standard in the maximum impact of minimalist aesthetics. In its medium 35.1 mm steel iteration, recall Cartier’s signature exposed screw bezel, 7‑sided crown with blue spinel, and a gradient brown sunray dial. Inside, the automatic 1847 MC brings reliability; the case is water-resistant to 100 m, a bracelet with SmartLink and QuickSwitch keeps it adaptable.

Girard-Perregaux Casquette 2.0

$8,300 from The Hourglass

The-futurist 1970s design created using modern materials, GP’s Laureato Absolute 8Tech is both sporting and sculptural. A 44 mm carbon‑titanium composite case frames a gradient grey dial.
