5 sports watches for swimming

« Not a diver’s watch, but still water resistant »

The adventurers descended an incredible 3,900 meters without being disappointed by their timepiece. It withstood the enormous pressure of the deep sea and reliably performed its duties. Such masterpieces have earned applause, but overshoot the mark when it comes to wearing sports watches for swimming. It’s more important that they cut a fine figure on land, too – like these five waterproof highlights of the watch world that aren’t typical divers’ watches.

Ladies watches that shine when swimming, going out and business meeting

The subway takes us to the office, where several meetings are on the agenda. Afterwards, body, mind and soul are happy about the aqua fitness training in the city pool. The date with girlfriends in the restaurant satisfies the hunger and the longing for social contacts, before finally reaching home in the late evening. The modern lady lives dynamically and wants to keep track of time without constantly changing accessories.

For this purpose, Tissot designed the T-Classic PR 100 collection, which features sleekly elegant chronographs. With their 38-mm case, they decorate the wrist in a striking way without pushing themselves into the foreground. As a result, the timepieces with quartz movement stylishly enhance any outfit – at a serious business meeting, casual leisure time fun and chic evening program. Feminine accents such as a mother-of-pearl dial, rose gold plating and brilliant-cut diamonds crown the successful design of these sports watches, which do not have to be taken off for swimming. They are water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters, made of robust stainless steel and equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystals.

   

The Tissot T-Classic PR 100 is an all-rounder that reliably accompanies agile women in all situations – without expecting an opulent reward: If you go to a fair online store, you can buy the Swiss ladies’ watch with its classic-exclusive aura for less than 600 euros.

Salon-ready men’s watches that are not afraid of water

The idea of wearing the same watches for swimming and all other occasions also pleases the modern gentleman. The desire is fulfilled by a masterpiece from Zenith – the Chronomaster Sport. In 1969, the prestigious brand thrilled the world with the first timepiece to feature an automatic chronograph movement. The manufacture is not resting on its success, but is constantly pushing forward the development of the handmade centerpiece.

This is reflected in the enormous precision and 60-hour power reserve of the wristwatches, with which you can go swimming with a clear conscience and dive into water up to 100 meters deep. Anyone who knows anything about luxury watches immediately comments respectfully, “Ah, a Zenith Chronomaster Sport – excellent choice!” This is thanks to the distinctive totalizer ensemble in three colors, which adds a dash of dynamism to the timelessly elegant design.

Gentlemanly models complement business suits and leisure outfits with a complete commitment to black – from the dial and ceramic bezel to the rubber strap. The hard-wearing and water-repellent material is also ideal if you like to go swimming with your sports watches.

Alaska, Bangkok, Rio or Sidney: every glance at the self-winding watch becomes a trip around the world with this piece of jewelry.

The blue planet is in the spotlight – framed by a sunburst whose pattern resembles the teak decks of yachts.

For a lighter and more feminine touch, add a summery striped NATO strap to the Cosmopolitan statement, for example in sea blue and white.

The strap made of polyamide scores not only with aesthetic advantages if you want to keep the sports watches on for swimming. It is robust, dries quickly and, with its typical design, gives the feeling that the favorite accessory is securely attached to the wrist.

Junghans pilot watches that are down for water landings

Jogging in the woods, working out in the studio, or endurance training in the Olympic pool at the open-air swimming pool: the automatic watch with a coated 43-mm stainless steel case and vintage leather strap is an authentic companion for sporty high-flyers who don’t avoid water. The exact time is revealed by day and night by luminous indices and hands that stand out against the dark dial. Features such as the stop function prove their worth during fitness programs on land. The Junghans Meister Pilot’s design, which is water-resistant up to 10 bar, pays off when you spontaneously slow down with the watches for a swim in a varied lifestyle or take a dip in the pool after a sauna session.
