My 3 watch collection is definitely more on the budget side of things. I've got an Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic for the Aviation style, a Victorinox INOX titanium for the more field style (it feels unbreakable) and... a Moonswatch that looks great but probably won't last very long. I feel like these 3 bring me enough versatility to fit any style in my daily life. I'll look into getting a diver further down the line that is worth a little more.

The Omega Seamaster No time to die timepiece is absolutely stunning. It’s a beautiful watch and will be a classic for years to come. I would also add to the three watch collection….. the Breitling Premiere Pistachio dial. Gorgeous…retro looking watch. Finally, the Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar green dial. A underrated timepiece that offers an eye catching coinedge bezel.

Great video; love these. 1. Dress/everyday (could be used for both): Grand Seiko, 2. Diver: Tudor BB58/Pelagos, 3. Chrono/complication: Omega Speedmaster is just a classic w/such rich history. Also, I must include a "beater" watch, NOT really a beater if you know what I mean---Omega AT is a must (one could also argue Rolex Explorer here). Cheaper option---Hamilton Khaki Field or Sinn 556i. I also see the love for Nomos (think dress here)......I didn't want to exceed 10k w/any watch as this just becomes to unattainable for most and mostly a pipe dream.....including me:)

Great video and nice picks. I’ve always loved the Longines Legend Diver, in particular the bronze and green version shown here. The JLC I’m borderline tempted with is a slight variation on this, the limited edition Master Control Calendar with blue dial and blue leather strap. It’s 4k cheaper, as less complex than the Chronograph, but I personally prefer the less cluttered dial and the dial colour. I also like the Nomos Club which comes in some fun colours.

I’m not on board with the Nomos. It’s just a Stowa Antea “hommage”. As for cheap: Seiko Samurai Strela Cosmos Junghans Max Bill Even cheaper: Vostok Amphibia Seagull 1963 Orient Bambino Also the Stowa Flieger line is something to consider. (One or the four original Flieger Baumuster manufacturers. IWC, Laco and Wempe where the other ones.) All these watches have amazing stories and heritage, while being super affordable.

Ooooh, I do love these “Three Watch Collection” ideas! I’m putting together an Omega collection - I prefer quartz for my most commonly used pieces (cheaper, accuracy, grab-and-go convenience, robustness etc) but will be looking for mechanical for my dress piece since it will be used far less frequently than the others. All are/will be pre-owned so I’m expecting to have plenty of change from £3K. So far I have an Aqua Terra 39mm, grey dial as my daily watch, and a Seamaster 300 Professional 2264 (black dial, sword hands) as my diver. I rarely need to time any events, so the bezel on this will also serve as my “chronograph”. For my dress option I am looking for vintage, gold Seamasters… Keep well and keep up the great work :-)
