If you’re shopping for a watch for Father’s Day 2022 because you know your Dad already loves and collects them, then a limited edition Seiko watch is exactly what he wants.

Bremont Armed Forces Argonaut Bronze
For Dad’s that will appreciate a timepiece as unique as them, check out the Bremont Armed Forces Argonaut Bronze watch. The design proudly honours the exclusive partnership the British watch manufacturer has with Ministry of Defence (MoD) while tributing the original Dirty Dozen watches from the 1940’s which were made for the British Army during World War II. This year, the Bremont Argonaut was launched in bronze for the first time, a material suited to the ocean offering high corrosion resistance to saltwater. The 42mm case will also change colour over time, developing its own patina as it reacts to moisture in the air and skin. This means each and every case of the Bremont Argonaut Bronze watch will be totally unique to the wearer. The watch also features an internal rotating bezel, a rich blue dial, bronze Superluminova hands and an COSC-certified automatic winding movement.
Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum
Few Dads are cool enough to pull off a skeleton watch, but we reckon your Dad is one of them. The Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum is a great example of skeletonised mastery, offering a stunning openwork dial with the Swiss watch manufacturer’s incredible “Lum” luminescent coating. The BR-CAL.322 automatic winding movement is displayed proudly front and centre of the dial and then treated to accents of green-coloured C3 Superluminova. Such decoration allows the three-hand complication to contrast magnificently against the smoked sapphire glass and black skeleton movement beneath. The Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum watch also showcases the legendary BR 05 case which is square-shaped and resolutely urban with a 40mm diameter, integrated bracelet and 100 metre water resistant rating.
