When it comes to watch shapes, the simple, clean-lined rectangle is one of our personal favorites — it's timeless and elegant in its minimalism, and'll look just as good under a blazer's cuff as it does on a bare, tattoo-covered forearm. This 18K gold-plated one from Breda carries the look of a vintage timepiece, with an approachable price. The movement's powered by Japanese Miyota Quartz if you care about that sort of thing, and the band is made of buttery-smooth leather. The thing's also water resistant — so no worries about cooking splashes or stray drops of IPA, but make sure you take it off before you hop in the shower or go swimming.
