Longines Spirit Zulu Time Men’s Watch
At the top of our Men’s Christmas Gift Guide, and at the top of many Christmas wish lists, is this Longines Spirit Zulu Time watch. Perfect for any gentlemen with a fondness for travel and aviation, this luxury pilot’s watch is the first of its kind within the Longines Spirit collection with GMT complication at the centre of its dial. Here, placed on a classic matte black dial, is a bright blue GMT hand which lets you read a second time zone from your wrist. The rest of the dial is adorned in glow in the dark Superluminova for readability in all light conditions. The dial of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time watch also presents a five star motif which celebrates the COSC certified automatic movement housed within the 42mm stainless steel case. The movement delivers an impressive 72 hour power reserve while the case comes with sapphire crystal glass, a ceramic insert 24-hour scale bezel and a three-link steel bracelet.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT Watch
If a GMT watch sounds like the ideal timepiece for your special someone this Christmas but you’re looking for one with a sportier aesthetic and one worthy of the water, then look no further than this TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT watch. Like the Longines watch above, this TAG Heuer men’s watch allows you to read off a second time zone # but it comes housed in the Swiss watch brand’s coveted Aquaracer case. With its 300 metre water resistant rating, domed crystal glass, screw in crown and solid 43mm steel case, this TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 GMT watch is destined to be used in water. It also boasts a bi-directional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale, coloured in blue and white, the former marking night-time hours and the latter displaying the daytime. To pair with this, the dial comes in deep blue with octagonal markers and hands dressed in Superluminova. Powering the hours, minutes, seconds, GMT and date complications is the Calibre 7 automatic winding movement with a 50 hour power reserve.
Breitling Superocean III Automatic 42 Watch
Another fantastic example of a luxury diver’s watch, this Breitling Superocean III Automatic 42 is perfect for a gentlemen that appreciates vintage aesthetic combined with modern technologies. The design revives the look of the historic Breitling Slow Motion watch, the brand’s very first diving instrument. You’ll spot the same thin ceramic inlay unidirectional bezel with 60 minute scale, a statement sloping flange on the dial and the square-shaped lollipop minutes hand. However while beautifully retro in style, the Breitling Superocean III Automatic 42 watch is anything but historic in its stats. There’s a 300 metre water resistant rating, Superluminova on the monochromatic cream and black dial, a sporty black rubber strap, and the COSC certified Breitling Calibre 17 movement at its core. There’s also a brand new feature for the Breitling Superocean III Automatic 42 watch, never done before by Breitling. It’s the Breitling bezel lock which lets you secure the bezel in a fixed position so there’s no risk of you losing track of elapsed dive time.
Bremont Supermarine WR22 Chronograph Watch
Next up in our run-down of the best men’s luxury watches for Christmas 2022 is this Bremont Supermarine WR22 Chronograph. Engineered by British watch brand Bremont, the design marks the fresh partnership between Bremont and Williams Racing by proudly displaying the colours and codes of the racing team across its case and bezel. The black and white “panda” dial is its most notable feature, offering a crisp white backdrop and three counters for the small seconds and chronograph complication. Adorning these are electric blue accents to mirror the colour used on the Williams Racing logo. The case of the Bremont Supermarine WR-22 Chronograph copies that of many other Bremont Supermarine watches with a 43mm steel diameter, scratch resistant PVD treated case middle and a bi-directional rotating bezel. Turning the men’s chronograph over reveals the chronometer-rated BE-53AE automatic winding movement equipped with a custom-decorated rotor inscribed with the Williams Racing emblem and openwork detailing to evoke the shape of a car tire’s rim.
IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX
If you’re shopping for an avid watch collector this Christmas, we highly recommend surprising them with this IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX watch. The IWC Mark is one of the Swiss watch manufacturer’s most legendary designs, first debuting in 1936, and upholding the brand’s reputation for creating durable, legible and beautiful pilot’s watches. The new IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX is no different, electing a strong 40mm stainless steel case with a 100 metre water resistance, sapphire crystal glass and smooth unadorned bezel. For the display, the men’s pilot’s watch is dressed in a handsome shade of blue with a sunray brushed finishing and Superluminova inserts on the hour and minute hands. Pairing with its dial colour, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XX is fitted with a blue calfskin leather strap. Inside is the automatic winding Calibre 32111, a movement engineered by ValFleurier, which exceeds all expectations with a whopping 120 hour power reserve.
TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45 Smartwatch
We’re taking a step away from traditional watchmaking now and bringing you an exclusive luxury smartwatch from TAG Heuer.

This TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 45 smartwatch elects the architecture in stainless steel paired with a handsome solid stainless steel bracelet.
Garmin MARQ 2 Golfer Smartwatch
Next up in our Luxury Watches for Him Christmas Gift Guide is another smartwatch, but this time one that is entirely designed for the wrists of golfers. It doesn’t matter whether the person you’re shopping for is an amateur or a golfing professional, this Garmin MARQ 2 Golfer watch is destined to improve their game on the green. It comes with a lightweight 46mm titanium case, a gorgeous green ceramic bezel etched with an 18 hole scale and a seamless French Jacquard weave nylon strap inspired by the colours of the course. On the crisp, AMOLED touchscreen display, you’ll find an abundance of golfing features including a virtual caddie function which gives you advice on your shots based on wind speed and direction as well as what club to use.

You get all this, and all the classic health and wellness features, on a fantastic 16-day battery life.
Gucci 25H Watch
Finally, to finish off our Christmas Gift Guide of men’s luxury watches is this Gucci 25H watch. A staple design for any man with a love of designer watches, this integrated masterpiece has Gucci written all over it - literally. The crisp silver brass dial features elegant horizontal striping and several interlocking G motifs acting as hour markers. Surrounding the dial is a unique multi-faceted bezel and a gorgeous, ultra-thin case which gracefully blends into the integrated lugs and bracelet. In this instance, the Gucci 25H watch elects a 38mm stainless steel case – although other sizes are available. The case is topped by sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating and inside, a Swiss made quartz movements powers the classic silvered skeletonised hands for the hours and seconds. If ultra-thin cases, sophisticated styling and Swiss made movements are your thing, we can’t recommend the Gucci 25H watch collection enough.
