Fall officially starts on September 22, and there’s no better way to start the season than a fresh new timepiece (or a pumpkin spice latte, if you ask the people’s coffee company). Fashion sources report deep greens and rich browns will remain essential fall colors this year, so we compiled some of our favorite timepieces featuring this palate.
Since watches might be a seasonal accessory, grab one of these pieces to pair with your fall fits as the temperatures drop.
Price: $395
Overview: Citizen created another standout hit with the Brycen chronograph. This classically inspired timepiece hints at autumn with a cream-colored dial and a rich brown strap. High-contrast black-and-gray dial markings and sub-dials make the dial highly readable, and luminous hands ensure the time is visible even in low-light environments. A 44mm stainless steel case encapsulates the dial and movement, which is powered by Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology. Water-resistant up to 10 bar, this Citizen delivers on form and function.
Buyers will find that the Brycen pairs well with certain brown tones, cream, and darker green hues. This watch will also wear well during winter, although it may clash with some brighter tones usually worn during spring and summer.
Price: $725
Overview: Our theme of earth tones continues with the Seiko Prospex SPB121, which maintains the brown leather strap and silver-toned case but differs in its forest green dial with gold-toned hardware. Almost guaranteed to stand out because of the striking color combination, the Prospex SPB121 also offers a magnified date window and LumiBrite-coated hands and markings to maximize the piece’s utility. A 24-jewel automatic movement with a ~70-hour power reserve powers this seasonal piece.
Mixing metals may be something of a fashion faux pas, but Seiko managed to create a cohesive piece despite the contrasting hues. Wearers will find this watch suits most conventional fall tones, giving the piece perhaps the broadest range of the three on this list. Buying a watch that is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive would be a safe, versatile play for the growing watch enthusiast or a fashion-forward collector.
Price: $1,045
Overview: Hamilton rounds out this fall-inspired list with the American Classic Spirit of Liberty Auto, a brown piece that captures the essence of autumnal men’s fashion. Behind a rich brown dial is a three-hand H-10 automatic movement with up to 80 hours of power reserve, promising hassle-free functionality even with daily use. The watch fastens to the wrist with a brown leather strap hand-treated with natural wax. A silver-toned stainless steel case contrasts with the decadent brown hues composing the piece, and matching dial hardware brings the watch together.
Wearing this watch as a seasonal accessory will likely require more finesse than the other two watches on this list, as wearers will only have two colors (brown and silver) to work with. Shades of cream, green, blue, and contrasting brown will pair nicely with the American Classic, and its waxed leather band will always make for an interesting conversation piece, as no two straps will appear perfectly identical after the treatment process.
