Breitling's Avenger Breitling is famous for its pilot watches (such as Navitimer), but what about their diving watches? Breitling Avenger is a tough diving watch, which costs less than 3000 euros. Even with good GMT complications or titanium cases. With all astronomical clock ratings, they are very accurate performers.
We even found several Breitling Avengers chronographs with prices in this range. You may consider buying the titanium case of this chronograph watch, because they are not suitable for the timid.
Rolex Datejust is the mother of all modern watches, with 36 mm diameter Rolex Datejust and Jubilee style bracelets. Since 1946, this watch has appeared on the wrists of many world leaders, artists and explorers. Even today, Rolex Datejust is still a watch, which can match almost anything, from jeans and T-shirts to tailor-made suits.
In the price range of up to 3,000 euros, you must own a used/antique Rolex Datejust. Maybe you missed the new 4 1mm case or Parachrom hairspring, but watch lovers will agree with us that the classic 36mm plexiglass crystal watch has more soul. How about old reference 1600 (smooth bezel), 160 1 (platinum bezel), 1603 (engineering steel bezel) or modern reference 16030 with tapestry dial?
There are many configurations to choose from, and there is absolutely no mistake! For reasons of appearance and comfort, we prefer to use Datejust on Jubilee bracelets, but you can also choose sports oyster bracelets.
FliegeruhrFliegeruhr or pilot watch is one of the most iconic styles in IWC watch series. We're not talking about the big Pilot or the chronograph model, but the original watch of the Mark series Pilot. These works represented multimeters and were still regarded as the manufacturers of tool meters at that time. Kyle series is now in XVIII, but we remember that Kyle XII (because of the word "unlucky" in these figures, there are no Kyle XIII and Kyle IV) is the last movement with small compartments and Jaeger-LeCoultre movements.
Mark XV model is the first of the new varieties, equipped with ETA movement and larger case (39mm). The current model Mark XVII has a 39mm case and a fancy dial with a large date window (it shows three days, so the hands never block all the numbers). If you like old-fashioned watches and have no doubt about smaller diameter cases, you may need to search for Mark XII model of 1990s.
TAG Heuer's Carrera brand is based on the fact that TAG Heuer is only one of TAG Heuer's original series in the 1960s. Jack Heuer introduced Carrera (1963), and he used the name of the famous Pan American race. You can say that this is Jack Heuer's baby, and this is Carrera's model, which is why TAG Heuer dedicated it to Carrera's model on Jack Heuer's 80th birthday a few years ago.
No matter which model you choose, Carrera will not make mistakes. Unless you buy the model of 1960, the budget of 3000 euros will provide you with many choices. In our opinion, TAG Heuer Carrera is one of the most representative clocks, which is as famous as Rolex Daytona, Omega Motorized Altman, Li Zhen's El Primero and Breitling's Navitimer.
