Now that the summer season<\/a> is finally behind us, however sad that may sound, it\u2019s time for us to get back to our normal lives. No more fun in the sun, no more beach days, no more late-night backyard parties\u2026 Although I\u2019m dramatising a bit here, it\u2019s a given fact that around September, most of us will have enjoyed our summer holidays and will be back at work by now. Youngsters will have gone back to school, or perhaps even started their first jobs, and so on. Whatever the situation, a single question always arises: what to wear? Something mechanical, of course, and we\u2019ve lined up a set of very solid options for both classroom and boardroom, from very affordable to a tad pricier, but never out of reach! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Citizen Mechanical Day\/Date Ny4058 \u2013 EUR 219<\/p>\n

To start things off, we opted for the Citizen Mechanical Day\/Date NY4058<\/a>, which comes at an incredible EUR 219<\/strong> only! For this, you get a stylish watch with a dressy undertone and an in-house automatic movement<\/a>. To us, the black one is the best suited for the office thanks to the black leather strap. The dial is nicely finished and shows not only the time, but the day of the week and date as well. The movement will keep running for up to 42 hours, which is perfectly acceptable.<\/p>\n

Orient Bambino 75th Anniversary Classic \u2013 EUR 359,99<\/p>\n

Next up is another brand from the land of the Rising Sun: Orient<\/a>! Celebrating its 75th trip around said sun, it released the handsome Bambino 75th Anniversary Classic<\/a> earlier this year. The case has a very pleasant profile and houses a very handsome silvery-white sunray-brushed dial with warm gilt markers and blued hands. The movement can be seen through the back and has a decorated rotor. Worn on a nubuck leather strap, it retails for a smidge under EUR 360<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 Green \u2013 EUR 725<\/p>\n

Travelling to Switzerland, the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80<\/a> is another value-for-money stunner. It offers something a bit more sporty thanks to the multi-link bracelet, but it would look equally good on a leather strap. We\u2019ve opted for the one in green, which has a nicely detailed dial with a Clous de Paris styled pattern, applied Roman numerals, leaf-shaped hands and a date at 3\u2032. Fitted with the solid Powermatic 80 movement<\/a>, you can\u2019t really find any faults in this one, especially considering the very sensible EUR 725<\/strong> price tag.<\/p>\n

Seiko presage classic series spb529 \u2013 eur 1,120<\/p>\n

When it comes to good, sensible watchmaking, Seiko is not to be overlooked. Many of its collections have a very strong following and would suit our \u201cback to work\/school\/life\u201d scenario perfectly. We\u2019ve picked the new Presage Classic Series SPB529<\/a>, which adds a golden-brown coin-edge bezel, a light brown gradient dial and a leather strap made with high-end Japanese shoemaker REGAL to the mix. Power comes from Seiko\u2019s trusted calibre 6R55<\/a>, with 75 hours of running time. All that, for an attainable price of EUR 1,120<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Farer Lissom \u2018lindley \u2013 EUR 1,350<\/p>\n

From the UK, we have selected the Farer Lissom<\/a>. This time-only watch is available in a few colour variations, and we\u2019ve gone for the purple-and-powder-blue \u2018Lindley\u2019. It offers something fresh, something a bit different, and altogether quite cool! The colourful dial is finished with white hands and Lumicast markers, and around the back, you\u2019re greeted by La Joux-Perret\u2019s D100 manually wound movement.<\/a> At 38mm by 7.95mm in size, and strapped to a beige nubuck leather strap, it\u2019s a joy on the wrist. The price? A respectable EUR 1,350<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Frederique Constant Classics Premiere Salmon \u2013 EUR 1,950<\/p>\n

If you have a bit more budget, the Frederique Constant Classics Premiere Salmon<\/a> would be an excellent fit. What immediately struck us was the multi-level salmon dial, with a grained texture in the centre and a circularly brushed \u2018ring\u2019 for the applied markers. The whole size and shape of the watch are just right. It\u2019s equipped with the calibre FC-301, which is based on the La Joux-Perret G100. At first, it was presented on a matte nubuck leather strap, but is now also available on a very cool multi-link bracelet<\/a>. It retails for EUR 1,995<\/strong> on leather or EUR 2,095 in full steel.<\/p>\n
