What defines a dress watch

A dress watch is deliberately understated: A slim case, a clearly structured dial, usually a leather strap and a diameter between 34 and 40 millimetres. It should slip beneath the shirt cuff rather than stand out from under it. Additional displays are often omitted; where complications do appear, they are discreet ones such as a small seconds, a date or a moon phase.

Pairing it well

The classic rule is: A dark leather strap with dark shoes and a precious-metal case matched to the belt buckle and cufflinks. With a tuxedo, white gold or platinum on a black strap is the safest choice. If you are looking for just one watch for both suit and everyday wear, a simple two-hand model in steel or rose gold is the best option – it goes with both.
