Have your wedding anniversary coming up and you're looking to buy a special present? We'll give you a helping hand with our list of best watches to gift for your wedding anniversary. Let's get started!
1. Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt
The Aquascaphe is the Paul Rudd of wristwatches—it's good at what it does and is loved by everyone! We say it's a safe bet for a gift.
This 200m diver is a modern watch, but also the epitome of vintage cool. It's packed with several desirable specs including a screw-down crown, double-domed sapphire crystal, unidirectional sapphire bezel, lavishly textured dial, and luminous accents—all of them neatly wrapped in a 39mm wrist-friendly package powered by the well-regarded 42-hour Miyota 9039 movement.
We had a tough time picking one variant to highlight here, but we ended up with this elegant model that features a dial in deep blue with golden accents and a beads of rice bracelet, which makes it well-suited for some ladies as well as gents.
2. Nivada Grenchen F77 Black Ceramic Meteorite
We keep returning to the Nivada Grenchen F77 in our recommendations and with good reason. This is a faithful reissue of the much-loved original, which itself was a well-reimagined version of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
In its modern iteration, the F77 runs on the 38-hour SOPROD P024 movement and has a depth rating of 100m. Its time-only dial adds more visual interest as you move from the standard basket weave to stone-based textures such as the grey Meteorite shown here.
What truly sets this model apart is its stunning black ceramic case and bracelet—lending it a futuristic vibe, as it descendent from orbit right this second.
3. Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer Auto 34mm
"Sporty, chic, and with unmistakable appeal" sums up the 34mm Jazzmaster Performer. Its H-10 movement ensures a thin profile and an autonomy of 80 hours. With a 100m depth rating, the watch is sufficiently water resistant, meaning it's game enough for a dip in the pool.
4. Mido Patrimony Stainless Steel Brown Patina Leather Strap
Sophistication is in the details—and the Mido Patrimony delivers. Its sector dial, distinguished by contrasting finishes, lends it a refined personality ideal for formal settings. Large Arabic numerals at the cardinal point pair beautifully with sleek indexes, delivering a design that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
The outermost ring of the dial features a pulsometer scale—a practical additional that enables quick heart rate readings. To maintain visual symmetry and utility, a discreet date window sits at the 6 o’clock position.
What's under the hood? It's Caliber 80, a modified C07.651 calibre visible through the display caseback. The watch ships with a stylish brown leather strap.
5. Hamilton Ventura Quartz
The Ventura is sure to make a great gift for the Elvis fan or even for someone who simply appreciates distinctive case designs.
This silver-toned, black-dialled version of a Hollywood-famous Hamilton watch (there are quite a few of those) is a unisex timepiece that will easily turn heads. It runs a modern quartz movement, has a depth rating of 50m, and pairs with a flexible bracelet strap.
Complementing the black dial are silver indices, dauphine hands for the hours and minutes, and a subtle arrow hand for the seconds. The zigzagged line running across the centre is the most eye-catching element on the dial.
6. Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 42mm - Green
Everyone appreciates a versatile gift and this would certainly fall in that category. It can be dressed up or dressed down with ease. The design of this iconic watch has been updated to accommodate modern tastes while still retaining its mid-century charm. It runs on the Powermatic 80 movement known for its high power reserve of 80 hours.
If your husband is an etymology buff, they're likely to appreciate the story behind the name of this watch. "Chemins des tourelles" literally means "path of turrets," and it comes from the name of the street that has housed Tissot's headquarters in Le Locle, Switzerland since 1907.
We have featured a model with a green gradient dial with a stainless steel bracelet. A date window rests at 6 o'clock.
7. Fears Redcliff 39.5 Date Raven Black
Picking a wristwatch for your minimalism-lovig spouse? This classic combination of a black dial and a silver bracelet is sure to win you brownie points.
The sunray finish on the galvanic-coated black dial is the perfect background for the diamond-polished, Super-LumiNova-treated indices, which glow blue in the dark. The date window at 3 o'clock could have thrown things off balance if it was too bold, but thankfully, it's as discreet as the rest of the watch.
A Swiss automatic movement, the La Joux-Perret G100, powers this understated timepiece and brings a respectable autonomy of 68 hours. Water resistance is sufficiently high at 150m. The watch comes with a couple of straps out of the box. One is a three-link stainless steel bracelet and the other is a 3D-woven textile strap.
When it comes to picking out a thoughtful gift, it's hard to go wrong with a luxe wristwatch.
