Finding the Right wrist-watches for You

Antique, new and vintage wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.

Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.

Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.

Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.

In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.

Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.

Find antique, new and vintage wristwatches on 1stDibs.

Questions About Dial Vintage Watch
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A California watch dial is a clock face featuring half Roman numerals (generally for 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock) and half Arabic numerals (generally for 4 o’clock to 8 o’clock). A dash might replace the hours of 3, 6, and 9 — instead of the comparatively unexciting numerical representation — and an inverted triangle might be used to represent the hour of 12. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A matte dial of a watch refers to the finish, which is flat in appearance, in comparison with its glossier counterparts which have a shine to their finish. The lume plots are typically painted on, instead of being applied. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    The main dial on a Daytona watch is the time in hours and minutes, and the three smaller dials are timers. The one at the bottom is a 30-second timer, while the right and left dials are 30-minutes and 12-hour timers, respectively. Find a collection of Rolex Daytona watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    The three dials on a chronograph watch vary. Generally, the dials are 30-second, 60-minute and 12-hour timers used to precisely track time, but some timepieces may have different dials. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of chronograph watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    On a watch, a “tropical dial” is one that was originally black in color but has since faded to a deep brown color. Rather than being viewed as a design flaw, a tropical dial is believed by some to give a timepiece more value by adding one-of-a-kind character. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of tropical-dial watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021

Vintage timepieces have made a comeback for serious collectors as well as casual enthusiasts all over the world. Find a collection of vintage watches on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The easiest way to determine if a watch is vintage is to look for a date on the back. If the date is more than 20 years old, the timepiece would be considered vintage.
