A Vintage Chronograph Watch is the Ideal Father’s Day Present

With Father’s Day coming up quickly, it is time to shop around for the right gift. Although dads are not usually the easiest people to buy for, you cannot go wrong with a chronograph watch. The combination of a standard display watch with a stopwatch appeals to dad’s active side. At the same time, the masculine look of the timepiece makes it suitable for daily wear but also for the boardroom and golf course. We put together a list of our most attractive designer chronograph watches.

Cartier Steel Pasha Chronograph with Two-tone Dials 

Cartier is a famous name among jewelry and watches aficionados. This piece is made from steel and has a band length of 7 3/8 inches. A date function sits at the 6 o’clock position. Water-resistant up to 98 feet, the combination of elegance with functionality finds beautiful expression with the iconic blue button tops. The case measures 45mm in length and 38.5mm in width.

Tag Heuer Monza with Black Dial 

Tag Heuer is the name you see at all sporting events where perfect timing is of the essence. This automatic chronograph features a new Tag Heuer black band, which matches the black watch face. At a length of 44mm and a width of 37mm, this is the ideal watch for the dad on the go.

Bulgari Diagono Sports Chronograph with Black and Gold Accents 

The base material is steel. An 18k yellow gold halo surrounds the black, round watch face. The band is Bulgari steel. Choose this piece when your father enjoys the great looks that the designers bring to the table but prefers them to adhere to an appearance of understated elegance. The combination of gold and steel is masculine; at the same time, it is unexpected, which gives the watch’s wearer an air of mystique.
