Were having our first kid in December and would love to buy a watch for him and then give it to him at 18. Budget would be 2-3$k. It could also be multiple watches. I have no preferences.
He would also be getting any watch I buy once I’m gone but if we have more than 1 kid they would split it. And hopefully I’m around a bit longer.
Thanks everyone!
Can definitely recommend these ones: https://www.seriouswatches.com/products/raymond-weil-freelancer-diver-2775-st1-20051
They should be in stock in many stores all around the world, the link is just for model reference.
I have been wearing them for the past year or so, zero complaints. They might be on a heavier side though as it’s full metal build including the strap, keep in mind.
How they look:

Can’t share a picture on Memmy for some reason or reply to comments, it’s this watch. Had it for two years and it’s a dream. I’ll figure out how to post a pic via browser
First I wouldn’t. Watches might not be fashionable in 20-30 years.
Second: Something truly timeless. Not any of the current trends, something neutral in size and design.
Also something not too sporty or dressy.
Personnal choice : I’d stay away from “Swiss” swatch group which are really overpriced.
Top choices:
- Junghans Max Bill series.
- Seiko prospex (at least you are sure the watch will run for a long tome)
Other
- Damasko DC70
- Muhle teutonia or panova
Maybe a high end Chinese watch as the period of their birth is China’s time.
I don’t know. They’ve been around since the 1800s. Not sure they’ll be out of fashion in 20yrs. But thanks I’ll check these out
