What are some of the best automatic watch brands?

The best automatic watch brands produce some real gems. Strange as it may sound, the best way to analyze and evaluate a quality watch is by its accuracy when it comes to telling time.

Just as when we buy cameras, we evaluate the image quality of their photographs, automatic watches work similarly, for one must take into account standards, regulations and possible deviations, piece by piece on each one. 

This said, it’s clear that the best watches will be more accurate than the average product, based on their calibre and the possible adjustments available. 

This ranking for the best automatic watch brands currently on the market by Armando-G is not based on sales because in that case one would be evaluating their commercial potential or their great sales teams, and that’s not what we’re after. This list of the best watches is based on their high quality and exhaustive standards, which on some brands, are worthy of flattery.

Of course, on this list Rolex must take first place, for multiple reasons. Among them, because its founder, Hans Wilsdorf, was one of the greatest wrist-watch enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. 

Without a doubt, Rolex is one of the world’s leading global manufacturers when it comes to high end watches and even though they do not stand out particularly for their complications, it’s a brand that has helped develop watchmaking as a whole. Their watches have long stood above the rest, boasting COSC precision certification.

Among all their watches we want to highlight the Sky-Dweller, most likely the Rolex automatic watch that’s currently the toughest to find. 

It has different designs on the market based on the innovation culture combined with the comfort of use and the technical sophistication that characterizes Rolex. In addition to that, they can be found for both men and women, to suit any buyer. The Sky-Dweller features a dual time zone and an annual calendar called Saros. 

Another one of the largest and most well-known watch brands worldwide is Omega. Founded in 1884,  it’s one of the oldest. It is part of the famous Swatch Group, which is under the command of Nicolas Hayek, and since the 1932 Olympics it has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games. Its high standards are reflected in its own certificate called METAS. 

Among its amazing automatic watches we highlight its new release Seamaster 300, designed in stainless steel and with a blue dial, it is the pinnacle of elegance when it comes to watches.

The Seamaster 300 guarantees great precision and it’s capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. On top of that, it’s water-resistant to 300 m (30 bar), boasts a METAS-certified chronometer-precise calibre, and its Co-Axial escapement is resistant to disturbances and magnetic fields.

This brand has more than 175 years of history and is world famous for its excellence and the highest quality standards. Without a doubt, any self-respecting watch collector will have among them the most coveted of today, the Nautilus, presented in 2021 and highlighting its beautiful green dial.

Its innovative design has the shape of its octagonal bezel, with smooth contours. Also noteworthy is the box in which it comes, inspired by a ship hatch and made of gold. This exclusive luxury model has only 1,300 copies on the market. So if you are lucky enough to own one, you should check out our extensive catalog of automatic watch safes to protect it like the jewel it is. J

No other watch brand has the calibre repertoire that Jaeger has. For this reason, it should be considered in the list of the best automatic watch manufacturers on the market today. 

We highlight among all the new Jaeger Polaris Alarma, a reissue of the mythical Polaris of the 60s.

Among its functions we find a date and internal rotating bezel, a frequency of 4 Hz or 28,800 vibrations per hour, a calibre of 899AB, and an automatic mechanical movement, all this in a 42 mm stainless steel case.

This has been one of the most classic and important watchmaking houses since its origins. Its luxury Overseas model was launched in the 1970s as a sports watch, and under these same foundations it reappears today with the original 222 model. 

The Overseas watch is made of stainless steel, housing an automatic movement with a 22-carat gold oscillating trace. It has a simple closure and its strap is interchangeable, with a version in leather and also in rubber. The remarkable thing about this model is that it can be customized according to the wishes of the buyer.
