Make your long drives more exciting by having one of these beautiful driving watches to keep you company.
1. Furlan Marri Mechaquartz Rosso Grigio Ref. 1085-A
Rosso Grigio stands for red and grey in Italian. There are lots of things Italians are known for, but one thing that stands out is their love for motorsports.
This watch with excitingly fast looks and a roulette dial will keep you on the edge of your leather seat as you drive through windy mountain roads. Equipped with a mechaquartz movement for quartz accuracy with a mechanical seconds hand sweep, encased in a classy 38mm case, this watch is designed like a vintage car with modern performance.
Start the chronograph, put your foot down, and enjoy the ride.
2. G-SHOCK GM-2110D-3A
Easily read the time in style with the G-Shock GM-2110. This line of G-Shocks is often referred to as "CasiOaks" due to their resemblance to the Royal Oak.
It costs way less than one while providing many ways to enjoy it. First off, the beautiful orange dial is fun and exciting, and the full metal 48.5mm beast of a case with the bracelet is sporty and classy—just like a modern sports car.
This watch with its many features like a 200m water resistance, stopwatch, timer, and so much more, will not just make the journey enjoyable but can survive any destination you take it to.
3. MIDO Multifort TV Big Date - Gradient Grey Dial - Rubber Strap
When you look at the MIDO Multifort TV Big Date, it's hard not to imagine driving with it. Its small racing font numerals at the outermost part of the bezel and the big date function at the 12 o'clock position that looks like an old mechanical odometer gives off a retrofuturistic energy.
Its square case design is reminiscent of vintage watches, but its 40mm case and bright rubber strap are a flair of contemporary. Its performance is impressive as it's powered by the Calibre 80 with an 80-hour power reserve.
4. Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz Salmon
The Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz is a true driving watch—no, make that a racing watch.
This modern revival of the Chronomaster is inspired by the work of Jean Singer—the mind behind the Omega Speedmaster Racing, which in turn is inspired by automotive design. This eye-catching watch with its time zone bezel, tachymeter, and salmon dial in a manageable 38mm case looks fast and awesome.
You can drive across Europe, change time zones on the bezel, and even accurately track your driving time with the mecaquartz chronograph.
5. Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto Chrono

If you own a black car with a beige interior, this is the perfect watch to match it. This panda chronograph with a tachymeter scale is made for driving. Its chronograph sub-dials even use the Microgramma font—which was often used in old speedometers of many old cars.
Roll up to formal events in your VIP car in a black suit with this on your wrist and you'll look serious yet sporty, especially with its iconic black & white design. Its 40mm stainless steel case is powered by the H-31 automatic movement that boasts a 60-hour power reserve and it's sealed in with up to 100m water resistance in case your night gets wild.
6. Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Black - Silver
Full of class yet perfectly active; the Baltic Aquascaphe is an awesome driving companion. It's simple in just two tones, a black dial, with the silver case, hands, and indices catching your eyes.
The beads of rice bracelet is comfortable and super elegant. It's also easy to read with its big numerals and pointed hands. Its bezel is also inspired by old portholes in ships with the dot indices resembling bolt holes.
It's sized reasonably at 39mm with a domed crystal closing off the dial within and able to withstand depths of up to 200m. You'll love having this on your wrist as you drive along the coast with the ocean on your side.
7. Hamilton American Classic PSR Digital Quartz
A simple watch, yet it gives off such a strong and striking energy. You'll feel like the Knight Rider with this on your wrist. Just be careful not to stare too long into the mesmerising watch face with a deep black background that feels like a portal into another dimension.
The Hamilton American Classic PSR Digital Quartz is 40.8mm wide, but it's only 34.7mm tall, making it perfect for small or large wrists. It's an incredibly unique digital watch that some might consider pure art. The crystal protrudes like a hologram and the segmented display isn't actually made of traditional segments, but tiny LEDs separating the segments further.
This fun and cool watch takes retrofuturism to the next level but in a minimalist and impactful way. If you're a fan of the DeLorean and 80s cars with LED displays, this is a perfect watch to pair with the driving experience.
