We’re always on the hunt for unique luxury replica watches timepieces, the types of watches that stand out among a sea of options today. And every now and then, one well-designed and meticulously crafted piece comes our way that elevates the accessory to a work of art.

Right now, no timepiece is doing that better than Glashütte Original’s Sixties watch, from the German brand’s Sixties Iconic Square Collection. As the name implies, the lineup is inspired by the decade when pop art, The Beatles, mod everything—and a whole lot of social and political upheaval—hit critical mass.

It’s also the period when Glashütte Original first introduced its range of Spezimatic timepieces, a silhouette marked by its square shape and eye-catching dial design. The uncommon shape of the original, with its rounded-off edges, and other hallmarks (domed dial, curved hands) have been faithfully recreated, while a few key upgrades make the collection feel thoroughly modern.

When it comes to watches this well made, people tend to focus on what’s under the hood more than anything. And make no mistake, Glashütte Original, like other German manufacturers known for their commitment to precision and craftsmanship, has put only the best into these Sixties timepieces.

But while we could go into detail about the skeletonized rotors or the oscillation weights, the real stars here are the watches’ stunning dials. They’re richly colored and textured in a way that no other timepiece is right now, most likely because the process of making a watch this unique is about as laborious as they come.

Each dial is handmade in Glashütte Original’s own factory with the same tools and methods that were utilized in the ’60s where colored enamels are layered one on top of another before a black lacquer layer is wiped over the finished product (not unlike the way some dress shoes are hand-burnished).

That’s what gives the dials their dégradé effect, where darker edges build to a brighter center. The Sixties Iconic Graphite version, above, comes with an equally show-stopping filigree patterned face (imprinted before the enamel process) that looks like a piece of sculpture sitting on your wrist.

This past summer, the two brands paired up again for the Timex x Todd Snyder Mod, an utterly eye-catching watch that fused retro motifs with military timekeeping and sold out in no time. So our expectations were pretty high when we heard the duo was joining forces once again. Would this new timepiece capture the high-end appeal the previous iterations had at the same bank-account friendly price?

The short answer is yes. The long answer is hell yes. Snyder’s M.O. is to mine the best of American menswear’s past, rethink it, make it better, and put the finished product out into the world packaged as something shiny, new, and, most importantly, modern. And that’s just what he’s done here. The Timex x Todd Snyder Military Watch is just what it sounds like, a timepiece born from the military watches of yesteryear, but modernized—and made affordable.

There’s a lot to admire about the watch, starting with it’s clean design. Despite the rugged associations military-inspired watches have (and which, to large extent make them interesting in the first place), Snyder’s version comes off as streamlined.

 It’s hard to make a watch like this modern Replica Omega Watches, but the designer succeeds. The combination of a clean black face and contrasting white indices lend a sparse, modernist sensibility to the design, offset by a brushed silver tone case and drab olive green NATO strap that could convince someone you’ve had it in your collection for years.

The name gives it away, but this monochromatic stunner is a blacked-out iteration of the brand’s familiar silhouette. But just because it’s executed in a single color doesn’t mean its basic.

True to Vuitton form, this timepiece best replica watches is packed with details and considered touches that make it feel worth its four-figure price tag. There’s an interplay of matte and shine finishes throughout (see: the PVD-coated stainless case, the clean dial, the DLC-coated buckle, the rubber-coated crown, and alligator strap) that makes the watch interesting at every angle.

A tonal charcoal “V” cuts down the center of the dial, a touch that’s graphic and cool and also branded in the best kind of way (same goes for the brand’s name stamped around the perimeter of the case).

The three chronograph sub-dials don’t interrupt the design as much as seamlessly blend into it, complementing the other quiet contrasts on the face, like the streamlined indices and date window. It’s a watch as stealthy and sleek as the Batmobile, but one you can wear on your wrist.

The face design is well balanced, with three chronograph dials offsetting the watch’s four numerical markers and a contrast white date display. It’s all housed in the watches.But the real story here is the can’t-miss-it, not-quite-neon yellow that pops off both the nylon strap and the slick black face. On the strap the touch calls to mind road markings, while indices give the impression that you’re looking into spokes on a wheel.

It’s a flashy color combination that’s sporty but still streamlined, so it won’t look out of place if you want to wear it to the office on a casual Friday. Of course on the weekend’s, this watch becomes the can’t-miss element in any outfit, be it a t-shirt and shorts or a polo and khakis on a night out. It fulfills all the criteria of a great summer watch: it’s bright, it’s bold, and all purpose enough to wear all season long.

Partly that’s because Unimatic seemingly borrowed some of the Modello Uno’s DNA from a few hall-of-fame dive watches—the dial and its dot indices echo the watches, while the spare bezel riffs on the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms’—which makes the U-1D look like something your dad dusted off and handed down to you.

And though a dive watch is technically a watch, the Unimatic—like the icons its borrowing from—is so unburdened by showiness, so platonically classic, that you don’t need to save it for Saturdays. Short of a black tie soiree, it’ll fit in anywhere: at work, on a date, on vacation, and back in time.

Unlike either of those legendary watches, which will set you back four or five figures, Unimatic’s affordable dive watch costs less than $550 (depending on how the Euro’s dancing that day). For that price you get a stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, a thick (though slightly short) gray NATO band, a damn-near-invincible Seiko automatic Replica Cartier Watches movement, and a 100M/330-foot water-resistant rating.

“Maybe the Replica Watches industry is a little bit conservative, or not quite aware, but they will get a wake-up call, there’s no way around it,” Paul Roeland, a data and sustainability reporting expert with the Clean Clothes Campaign in Amsterdam, said on a recent video call.

This week, the European Parliament is expected to approve the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, a wide-reaching piece of legislation designed to bring sustainability reporting on par with financial reporting.

Aimed at companies that fulfill two of the following three criteria — 250 or more employees, net annual sales of at least 40 million euros ($39.4 million) and total assets of €20 million or more — the directive, and related legislation being developed by the European Union, would force many luxury watchmakers to document their supply chains, in some cases for the first time.

“Saying, ‘We bought the gold at auction in Dubai, and we don’t know where it came from,’ is not going to be acceptable,” Mr. Roeland said. “The same goes for diamonds.”

Once the related legislation is finalized, companies could face penalties for failing to comply with the requirements and in the most extreme cases, such businesses could be prohibited from selling their products in the European Union.

“If there is a credible accusation of forced labor somewhere in the supply chain, a company has two weeks to prove it didn’t happen, which means if you haven’t mapped your supply chain, you won’t do that in two weeks,” Mr. Roeland said. “If companies now say, ‘It’s not our problem,’ it will be.”

The J12 was introduced in 1999, but seemed to take almost a decade to achieve mainstream approval. “Between 2008 and 2012, the J12 was the ultimate status watch, even beyond Rolex and Cartier for fashion watch women,” said Ms. Owens, one of the new generation of young collectors who has turned her passion into a full-time career. In her case, she became a marketing coordinator with the online Swiss watch magazine Watchonista.

When Jessica Owens started collecting watches in 2013, the New York City resident said she often saw the Ballon Bleu on wrists around town. “It is one of the early watches considered unisex, but you still find it mainly on women,” she said. “I am sure the bracelet on the early models is part of why it has become a modern icon.”

The two all-American brands teamed up to create an all-black version of the best-selling Andros, a diving watch with a working bezel. This version is decidedly stealthier than the original, thanks to its black face and a black case made from ionized stainless steel.

The dial features day and date windows at three o’clock, and bold white indices that make it easy to read. And thanks to its tough-yet-sophisticated styling, it’ll be easy to pair with pretty much everything that’s already in your closet.

Designers of all stripes are stepping away from the monochromatic minimalism that’s dominated fashion in the last few years and making clothes that will help their customers stand out.

The new Canfield Cannonball manages to combine a lot of different textures in a harmonious way. Its rich navy pebbled leather strap is something you don’t often see in watches, and it works well against the coin edge detail on the 43mm case. The dial is made for legibility: Its white Rolex Replica Watches face features bold blue numerals and minute and hour hands that glow in the dark. It also puts the second hand on a sub dial at six o’clock, keeping things open.
