A good watch is not just a timepiece; it's a feat of a centuries-long tradition of engineering and design. Purchasing a men's luxury watch is both an investment and an opportunity for self-expression. There are endless brands to choose from, but it is important to commit to a well-made one. Explore some of the high-end luxury watches for men that L'OFFICIEL has compiled for your next purchase. 

Omega

Omega's Seamaster Aqua Terra is widely regarded as an entry piece in luxury watches for men. A diving watch in name, the scaled-back design makes it more of a daily piece than a professional one. The Aqua Terra utilizes a quartz movement, and the dome is scratch resistant. More streamlined than sporty, this timepiece is easy to slip on and hard to take off.

Piaget

Yves G. Piaget introduced the Polo back in 1979, describing it as more than just a wristwatch. Offered as a luxury sports watch, it answered the call for a chic, well-made timepiece. Originally made in gold, this updated stainless steel style is a beautiful addition to the offerings of luxury watches for men. Complete with a diamond pavé crown, it's a luxurious adaptation of the Piaget classic.

Tag Hauer

Priding themselves on accuracy and speed, Tag Heuer watches have been lauded for decades. Once the official timepieces of the Olympics and favored in auto-racing, to wear a Tag Heuer watch is to celebrate the art of horology. The iconic Carrera design dates back to 1963 when Jack Heuer debuted the style in honor of the famous Carrera Panamerica car race. As far as luxury watches for men go, this Tag Heuer piece is an easy choice, handsome with its alligator strap, three subdials, and a 42-mm face.

If there is one luxury watch to consider, it's the Rolex Submariner. Presented in 1953, it was the first diving watch to prove water-resistant up to 100 meters, a feat of its time. Since then, the Submariner has been a favored timepiece amongst television's leading men. Sean Connery wore one as the original James Bond, and Keanu Reaves gifted his four John Wick stuntmen the popular watch after filming.
