Father’s Day provides an opportunity to show just how much we appreciate Dad. The time he spends on family, work, and fun helps create memories we will cherish for a lifetime. When it comes to the perfect gift, nothing says how much we appreciate the time we spend with Dad like a wristwatch to remind him of every precious moment. Here is a look at six timepieces from three watchmakers in a variety of styles and price points that will guarantee the father figure in your life gets something special for Father’s Day.
Raymond Weil brings together the elements of precision, quality, reliability, and technical prowess in classic Swiss watchmaking style to produce timepieces worthy of the “Swiss made” label. Two of their timepieces make excellent choices for that extra special Father’s Day gift. The Freelancer by Raymond Weil is presented in a 42mm stainless steel case with black dial. Launched in 2007, the Freelancer was created in honor of the sophisticated man with a free spirit who wishes to remain in control of his own destiny. Classic in style with a unique design, the automatic timepiece is complemented by a stainless-steel bracelet with folding clasp and double-push security system. Functional and stylish, this timepiece combines classic dress watch aesthetic with casual everyday wear features. That’s a winning combination for any Dad.
The combination of elegance and sophistication with modern innovation continues in the Raymond Weil Maestro. This automatic timepiece is housed in a 39.5mm stainless steel fixed-bezel case PVD plated with yellow gold. The silver face is offset by a black leather strap. Powered by the Calibre RW 4200 automatic Swiss movement, the Maestro displays hour, minute, and second functions as well as a date window. Water resistant to 50m, the Raymond Weil Maestro demonstrates the mastery of Swiss horology coupled with the modern look and feel of a luxury timepiece.

If Dad’s idea of a good time is less spin around the neighborhood by bike and more explore underwater caves, Tissot has you covered with the Seastar 1000 Chronograph. Featuring a unidirectional ceramic bezel and screw-down crown, this watersport watch is water resistant to 300m and built tough enough to take any adventure. Anti-reflective coating on the crystal coupled with luminescent hands and hour markers provide high visibility in the toughest of conditions.

Sometimes Dad goes above and beyond in more ways than one. If it has been that kind of year and Dad deserves an extra special Father’s Day, Omega has two offerings which are sure to have him thankful for the year ahead.

A favorite choice of Rory McIlroy, the “Golf Edition” has a symmetrical case crafted of stainless steel and presented on a NATO strap. Powered by the caliber 8900 Master Chronometer, the Golf Edition has received the highest certification by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS). The transparent case back displays the exceptional work of the Swiss watchmaker.
For the dad who wants something unique and modern, Omega presents the Skywalker X-33 Chronograph 45mm. The case is crafted from grade 2 titanium and features a black ceramic bezel ring and black dial with LCD display. The bracelet is constructed of grade 2 and 5 titanium. Powered by the Omega 519 Calibre, the Skywalker X-33 features a thermo-compensated multi-function quartz movement with special functions designed and tested by the European Space Agency.
