Swiss Watch Brands
Omega is yet another Swiss brand with global recognition. Their newest in-house calibers are among the most accurate mechanical movements in the world and are protected against strong magnetic fields. The most well-known watch from Omega is the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, which traveled to and landed on the moon as the official watch of NASA. These chronographs still exist today with either classic manual winding or state-of-the-art, antimagnetic Co-Axial calibers. In addition to the Speedmaster, the Omega Seamaster is another esteemed model. This watch has been James Bond’s trusted companion on the big screen since 1995. Its limited editions are desirable collector’s items with the potential to appreciate in value.

German Watch Brands
The German watch brand Sinn located in Frankfurt am Main is known for their functional diving and pilot’s watches. Together with the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen, they defined the first technical standard for pilot’s watches. Any pilot’s watch that has passed the so-called "TESTAF" is guaranteed to meet the demands of civilian aviation. The Sinn EXM 10 and Sinn 103 Ti Ar are among the watches that have gone through this process. Another highlight from Sinn is the diving watch UX, which has a case that is water resistant up to 12,000 m (1,200 bar). The movement in the UX is guaranteed to function up to 5,000 m (500 bar).

Japanese Watch Brands
Grand Seiko is a particularly popular watch brand among watch collectors or aficionados, as they like to style themselves. Luxury watches from this independent brand are considered especially high-quality and even better than some Swiss luxury watches. Pioneering technology – such as solar power, Spring Drive, and Kinetic – continue to be improved upon by manufacturers like Seiko. The first quartz watches also came from Japan in the late 1960s. Fans of Seiko are known for giving the different models interesting nicknames. Names like Turtle, Sumo, Monster, and Samurai are in most watch enthusiasts’ vocabularies. Those looking for affordable automatic watches will find what they are looking for in the Seiko 5 collection. These timepieces only cost a few hundred euros, some even less.
The Japanese manufacturers Citizen and Casio are both known for their precise quartz watches. The latter brought the legendary, indestructible G-Shock to market. This robust watch was made for athletes and outdoorsmen. Citizen, on the other hand, is one of the largest Japanese producers of watches and movements. Their group markets their own movements under the name "Miyota" and sells them to other watch manufacturers. These calibers are reliable and less expensive than the competing Swiss ETA or Sellita movements.

Even Russian watches enjoy high levels of popularity in certain circles. These include the brands Vostok, Poljot, Slava, and Raketa. The mechanical hand-wound and automatic calibers from these manufacturers are robust and reliable, even if they are not certified chronometers. Vostok Amphibia and Vostok Komandirksie diving watches are easy to find at reasonable prices. If you’re looking for a Russian timepiece with a stopwatch function, take a closer look at the chronographs from Poljot.
