Whether you’re shopping on a budget or splurging just a little, there’s something here that’ll make Dad smile every time he checks the time.
Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical
Price: $ 625 USD
We’re starting strong with the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, a true icon. Inspired by vintage military watches, this piece is all about the essentials: a crisp field dial, hand-wound movement, rugged good looks, and that unmistakable tool watch vibe.

Tissot PRX Quartz
Price: $ 415 USD
Next up is the Tissot PRX Quartz — effortlessly cool with its integrated bracelet, minimalist dial, and sharp, angular lines. It’s a love letter to 1970s design with modern finishing and Swiss quality, all wrapped into a sleek package
If Dad leans toward clean design or vintage flair, the PRX will hit the sweet spot. Bonus: it looks great with everything from a tee to a blazer.

For dads who dive into everything full-force, the Orient Kamasu is a sleeper hit. It boasts 200m water resistance, a sapphire crystal, and an in-house automatic movement — all for under $ 270.
