I would like to get my first automatic watch for may birthday, I’ve been searching for a while but my search can’t find an ending. My preference are automatic watch with at least 100 meter water resistance, sapphire crystal and reliable movement. I live in Czech Republic so some watch brands are not officially avalible here ,only through some dealers which are usually bit more expensive. I’d like to set my budget from about 400 euro to 650 euros. If anyone could help me narrow my search or point me toward some model I’m happy to hear that . Thanks
Certina ds action diver 38mm maybe? Clean and simple while also coming from a reputable brand. Also has lots of cool features like a diver’s extension and ISO certification and has 300m of water resistance. Hamilton is also worth considering and there are lots of great microbrands for around that price too like Baltic, traska, lorier among others.
Well which brands are available from local retailers. I’d have to imagine big brands like citizen, seiko and swatch group have a footprint
