Something you will wear daily as your default watch, even for the most casual of occasions.
Longines Conquest, blue dial
Seiko SKX013. Planning to buy the SSK GMT in the near future though
My everyday work beater/sketchy places out of town watch is my Seiko SRPG37
GW-M5610
Wouldn’t necessarily say beater but tbh this watch never leaves my wrist. Was one of my dads, now it holds an even more special place in my heart than just being the daily beater.
Timex weekender chronograph
Smiths Everest PRS-25 for me
Doxa 300T. Tough, easily serviceable movement, objectively cool watch with history rivaling even more expensive watches, and I can pretend to be a shipwreck hunter. Plus it’s the watch I’ve wanted since reading the Dirk Pitt novels as a teen.
Deep Blue Master 1000 with orange hydro 91 rubber strap. Makes me happy every time I look at it!
I think of my Rolex GMT-Master II more of a “daily driver” than a “daily beater.”
For situations where I know I’m gonna get dirty and rough things up (rock climbing, garage work, etc), I have other less expensive watches that are easier to replace if something unfortunate should happen.
I wear the GMT whether I’m on the subway, at the desk, or even if dressing up in a suit. I sort of cringe when people pipe up “but you should wear something time-only on leather” because I think the Rolex steel look can satisfy elegance and luxury just fine on its own.
Hope you love your daily as much as I love mine!
My trusty SRPE53. A gift from my wife for our one year of marriage.
Casio MRW-200H. I keep one in my toolbox that I change to when I get to work. I have an identical one for a home beater. One with a different colored dial for the gym and 3 other color combos I wear in the standard, random, daily watch rotation.
Nodus sector pilot blue dial.silber bezel :)
