Steel: The Real Deal

When it comes to watches there is no way around it: the vast majority of them are made from steel. While other materials such as ceramic, and even bronze, gain some market share, it is still steel that rules supreme, even among high-end watches. These are some of our favorite steel watches!

Rolex Sky-Dweller
Rolex is one of the brands that made a big part of its reputation based on steel watches. While everybody is using 316L steel, the brand with the crown opts for 904L steel. We were very excited to see this Baselworld that the Sky-Dweller now is also offered in all steel, making this bold and quite complicated watch now truly the perfect travel companion.

Omega Seamaster 300
Who doesn’t like to pretend he is Bond from time to time? Getting his watch, and ordering a Vodka Martini, is, of course, the easiest way to do so. Besides that, the Omega Seamaster has become a staple among sports watches, striking the right cord in steel on any occasion. And that is probably why it is the watch of choice of 007.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato
The grande entrance of an incredible expansion of the Laureato collection by Girard-Perregaux introduced us to many new varieties of this legendary watch. We were especially taken by the steel version with a leather strap, which gives the watch a casual chique appearance, and makes it very versitile in steel!

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute
With the Reverso Tribute did Jaeger-LeCoultre achieve to make the already seductive Reverso collection even more tempting. Slim, fitted with a manufacture movement, and available in steel, they might even have created the perfect everyday watch in the process.
