Since buying watches tends to be a relatively expensive pursuit, it’s not every year that you can gift online the watch lover in your life an actual timepiece. There’s no reason, however, that you can’t celebrate the hobby with thoughtful items to accessorize a horological obsession. Below are some great gifting ideas ranging from simple stocking-stuffers and affordable straps to some really handy equipment for the watch guy or gal who has it all.
Nixon Regulus
Different settings call for different watches, and when you find yourself in a setting where the going gets tough, you’re going to want the Nixon Regulus. Originally designed in collaboration with U.S. Special Operations personnel, the Regulus features shock-absorbent materials, a water-resistant case, an adjustable LED backlight and dual chronographs. No matter what you throw at it, this is a watch that will stand up to the harshest conditions.
Esslinger Double-Flanged Spring Bars
Spring bars get lost, so it’s always useful to have a bunch on hand for all your strap-changing needs. Thankfully they’re cheap, sold here in sets of ten by Esslinger, a supplier of high-quality watchmaking tools and related accessories. The majority of modern men’s watches take 18mm, 20mm or 22mm spring bars, but it’s a good idea to confirm what the giftee might appreciate most.
Friction Ball Case Back Opener
While caution is advised when opening a watch’s case back, there are some instances where one might want to do so — such as checking a vintage watch’s movement to verify its authenticity. For screwed-on case backs, it’s cheap and surprisingly easy to do so with a friction ball like this one.
