You’ve still got some time to browse for watch deals that you can give as a gift to yourself or a loved one for the holiday season, and Amazon has an offer that’s getting a lot of attention. The Oris Aquis, which is originally sold for $2,200, is available with a $200 discount that lowers its price to $2,000. It’s still pretty expensive, but as luxury watches go, this one provides amazing value for your money with its style and durability. We’re not sure how much time you’ve got left to buy the watch at 9% off though, so you need to hurry with your purchase if you’re interested.

Why you should buy the Oris Aquis watch

The Oris Aquis is a men’s watch that’s oozing with class. It has a green ceramic bezel alongside a stainless steel case and bracelet. It’s also a self-winding watch with automatic movement, and it features a scratch-resistance sapphire crystal face with an anti-reflective coating to make it easy to read the time while under the sun. The Oris Aquis is also water-resistant up to a depth of 1,000 feet, so you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged by sudden rainfall and splashes.

The just-announced Oris ProPilot X Year of the Snake Limited Edition is turning heads with its serpentine elements and exorbitant price tag, but the Oris Aquis is a much more affordable alternative if you’re looking for a green Oris. It may not have the limited-edition watch’s unique look and scale-like patterns, but the Oris Aquis is elegant and striking in its own right.

The Oris Aquis is a luxury watch for men that’s an excellent gift even for beyond the holiday season. Get it for yourself or a loved one from Amazon and you’ll enjoy a $200 discount, which slashes its price to $2,000 from $2,200. It’s still not what you’d call affordable, but you’ll quickly realize why it’s worth that much once you’re wearing it on your wrist. The Oris Aquis watch won’t stay at 9% off for long though, and since it would be a shame to miss out on the savings, we highly recommend moving forward with your transaction for it as soon as possible.

Swatch’s new gold MoonSwatch is priced like it’s 1969

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Guess what? It’s another MoonSwatch — but this isn’t just another colorway. The new drop from the Switzerland-based watchmaker, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969, is the first to use real gold across the dial, hands, crown, and pushers.

The watch marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5

Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery’s wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It’s a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the “squircle” gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5’s steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling’s in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches

Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don’t believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.
