Dress watches are all about simplicity and sophistication; they’re sleek rather than encumbered. Definitely not flashy but it draws attention to itself in a subtle way for its classiness and how it compliments your get-up. They are typically thin so they make it easily to slip in and out of your dress shirt’s cuff. The cases may be circular, rectangular, or square. High-end varieties are typically made from precious metals like gold or silver. When it comes to the band, they are always leather. Though some brands offer both leather and metal band options with their dress watches, leather is the classic way to go. As the name implies, you can wear a dress watch for dressier, more formal occasions like with a business suit or a tuxedo. You can also wear a dress watch with everything on down to sharp casual. It definitely won’t pair well with a t-shirt and jeans.
