Round-UpThe Top 5 Gold Watches in India

If bling is your thing, we've made your life easier by picking five bestselling and most luxurious gold watches of this season.

May We Recommend

Gold watches in India have always been about wealth and status, and they still are today. But apart from the bling and preciousness, not many will know that gold has been used by watchmakers for years, for very practical reasons. Ever noticed why your grandfather’s gold watch hasn’t lost its shine even today? That’s because gold, apart from being a precious metal, has extremely interesting properties: from being easily moulded (to be crafted perfectly), to being extremely corrosion-resistant, gold watches polish really well too!

Even in the business world, gold watches have an interesting history. During the 20th century, it was the goal of many people to stick to a company for many years to be gifted a gold watch upon retirement. Gold watches for years have been an indicator of success and status, so much that people chose to work with those who could afford one. Nevertheless, having a gold watch still remains an aspiration for many, across all ages and cultures, even if it is on the steep side. Which is why we’ve put together a list of the top 5 gold timepieces you can invest in. They vary in terms of features, classic looks, and iconic statuses, but the main goal of all these timepieces is simply to give you a ‘gold watch’ without a lot of fuss, and one that will last you a lifetime.

1. Carl F. Bucherer Manero Chrono Perpetual:

Gold watch paradise – the Manero ChronoPerpetual is an example of Carl F. Bucherer’s expertise in delivering an exceptional watch. Made entirely in 18-carat rose gold, the crown and polished chronograph push-pieces of the Manero have also been done in gold. You can get a clear view of the movement with the see-through sapphire crystal case back, which also features a stunning 22-carat rose gold oscillator.

Keeping the bling aside, the timepiece has one of the most advanced movements available in the market (perpetual calendar) where you don’t need to manually adjust the watch till 2100 AD. You can read about the technicalities here, but as far as gold watches are concerned, the Manero makes for a great dress watch with advanced complications you’ll rarely find in most gold watches.

Powering this mechanical marvel is the CFB 1408 movement – which includes a perpetual calendar, flyback chronograph and moon phase complications, along with a great power reserve of 50 hours.

2. Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium King Gold:

Hublot has cemented its position as the watchmaker who knows the “Art of Fusion” better than anyone else, i.e., playing around with various combination of materials. With this watch, Hublot is offering the wearer the best of both worlds: a Titanium 45mm case for extreme ruggedness, that is complemented with an 18k “King Gold” bezel, with the hands, chronograph counters, pushers and the crown also done in the same precious metal.

The use of Titanium in this watch has been clever, considering it’s helpful for someone who’s not looking for an extra flashy watch, yet giving him the pleasure of owning an 18k gold timepiece. Call it the elegant sports watch of the modern times. The Classic Fusion is powered by an automatic HUB1143 movement with a good power reserve of 42 hours.

3. Omega Globemaster:

There is something very satisfying about owning a watch from one of the world’s most iconic brands in all gold. It sends out loud a message of status and sensibility. The Globemaster is one of Omega’s newest babies and apart from being a classy looking all-gold watch, the watch houses the world’s first METAS or Master Chronometer movement. But what will capture yours and everyone’s attention is the distinct colour of the 18k Sedna Gold. Even the rotor visible on the see-through case back is made of the same precious metal! The fluted bezel adds to the vintage look of the modern Omega, which makes the Globemaster nothing less than desirable.

4. The Baume & Mercier Clifton:

This is the rose gold watch for the mature man who prefers the classic look created by the crisp silver dial, arrow-style gold hands and hour indexes, and a black leather strap. Neither overstated nor does it shrink from the limelight. In fact, the Clifton shines in all departments as the watch that you and the generations to follow will treasure for a lifetime. The Swiss made automatic movement, developed by Baume is deadly accurate and completely visible from the see-through sapphire crystal case back.

5. Corum Admiral’s Cup Legend 42:

The Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 is a good way to show off your precious metal in the classiest manner. Featuring the Dodecagonal case made of steel and a rose gold bezel, the Legend 42 also features Corum’s famous colored flags on the dial where markings on each of the 12 hours are depicted by a nautical flag.

If you’re looking for the gold,  there’s no lack of it because the dodecagonal bezel, Chrono pushers, and the crown are made entirely out of 18 K rose gold. Even the hands and inner chronograph rings are made of rose gold! But besides the bling and handsome looks, the Legend 42 is powered by Corum’s very own in-house calibre CO984, which has a great accuracy of 28,800Vph and coincidently a ’42’ hour power reserve. Summarized: elegant, sporty, timeless and masculine.

The Admirals Cup Legend 42 features Corum’s famous colored flags on the dial where markings on each of the 12 hours is depicted by a nautical flag.
The dodecagonal (12 sided) bezel, Chrono pushers, the crown and even the hands and inner chronograph rings of this watch are made of 18k rose gold.
