Three unique Pre-Owned & vintage watches – and the autumn look to go with them

A watch doesn't have to dictate the rest of the outfit, but it can change how the whole look is perceived. This autumn, we let three selected watches meet three different styles. The pre-owned and vintage watches Rolex Day-Date 18208, Franck Muller Casablanca, and an Omega Seamaster demonstrate how everything from precious metals, green leather straps to sporty dive watches can find a natural place in the modern autumn wardrobe.

Fairisle and Franck Muller

Watch: Franck Muller Casablanca

The Franck Muller Casablanca is recognizable by its tonneau-shaped case and distinctive Arabic numerals. Here, the watch's dressed-up yet somewhat playful expression meets a coarser Fair Isle knitted sweater, wide wool trousers, and Paraboot derbies on the feet, creating a solid grandpacore aesthetic. The blazer ties the whole look together while also highlighting the watch's more elegant side. 

Rock and Rolex

Watch: Rolex Day-Date 18208

The Rolex Day-Date 18208 combines classic elegance with a statement that stands out against the darker wardrobe of autumn. The model is crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and is powered by the automatic caliber 3155, featuring quick adjustments for both day and date. Here, we let the gold and the green leather strap contrast with a monochrome black look, paired with a coat, knitwear, and boots.

Oilskin Coat and Omega

Watch: Omega Seamaster

The Omega Seamaster 300M is a sporty dive watch with a distinct character, not least due to the blue dial we've selected here. The automatic movement and robust construction are typical of Omega's classic Seamaster series. Here, the watch's sporty expression meets the more rustic base layers of autumn: a waxed oil jacket and a knitted polo sweater, accompanied by a pair of loafers.
