Good evening,
I’m thinking about picking up my next “big” watch brand. For context, I’ve got a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (arguably my best watch,) a Vostok, two Citizen Eco Drives, a Bulova Marine Star, and a Sternglas (which was a mistake.)
I’ve got a Seiko 5 Arabic on order.
I’m wanting to step up in brands. I feel like Hamilton is a lateral move from Tissot, but Oris and Tudor are too expensive.
I’ve been looking at Longines and Mido, but am open to suggestions.
German watch brands might be a viable option. Stowa, Laco, Damasko, Hanhart, Guinand. If you don’t mind smaller Swiss made options - Nivada Grenchen also comes to mind - especially if you want a well priced chronograph.
Grey market Omega can be very well priced too.
