Apple Watch Series 5

Just shy of being five years old, the Apple Watch is the smartwatch to beat among the many smartwatches that crowd the market today. If you have an iPhone as a main phone, this smartwatch is an obvious choice. Apple has always been a true innovator of sorts, and as a company, they’re detail-oriented.

Azimuth SP-1 Mecanique

Nicknamed the “spaceship watch”, the Mecanique is one of the few hits from Azimuth. It’s a masterpiece in watchmaking, with extended lugs covered by a domed sapphire crystal. As a manual-winding watch, the technology packed in its 45mm stainless steel encasing is astounding. The cherry on top? It’s a good-looking piece of a timepiece.

The SP-1 Mecanique features a watch face with the Earth as seen from space, rotating every 60 seconds. The jumping hour display powered by a 6497-1 movement doubles as the “spaceship’s engine”, interlaced with a three-dimensional minute hand. There’s nothing like it in the planet at the moment, so know that when you’re getting one, you’re getting yourself quite the deal.

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra

Omega may be a household watchmaker brand, but its fame isn’t unwarranted. Constantly producing may be the most technologically-adept mechanical watches, its Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra >15000 gauss watch does a feat that nobody else in the business have yet to achieve. Add that to the long line of accolades that this stalwart watchmaker already have.

Almost all mechanical watches are prone to magnetism, the invisible force from gravity that affects the accuracy of every watch. Unlike the infamous Omega Speedmaster line, the Seamaster is primarily marketed to divers and sailors. It’s the quintessential diving watch, as it can resist magnetic pulls for up to 15000 gauss, as its name suggests.

Takeaway

Getting a technologically-advanced watch does not necessarily mean getting a smartwatch. The presence of technology is present in all watch movements – may it be mechanical, automatic, quartz or smartwatches.
