EDOX: Top 5 best watches for men
When talking about mid-range luxury watch brands, Edox certainly would be left out of the conversation. Brands like Casio and Seiko are the leaders among the tough competition of countless mid-range luxury watch brands. These brands have achieved such legendary status that people often associate their watches with luxury, affordability and reliability. Thus, brands like Edox who have a long heritage of making quality timepieces often get overlooked. Though Edox might not be in the top-of-mind for many watch enthusiasts, I think they still deserve a spot on your radar. So, today we will be looking into Edox, a little known and underrated Swiss brand.
Edox’s story began back in 1884 with a simple love story. It was first found in 1884 by christian Ruefli-Fluury, a highly talented and romantic watchmaker. He gave his wife a pocket watch that he had made for her 25th birthday. His wife was impressed by the exquisite gift and persuaded him to set up a company in Biel, a city known for its well-educated watch engineers. In 1990, He name his company Edox which means “measuring of time” in ancient Greek. The hourglass logo was officially used as a timeless symbol for Edox and since then, it has adorned all Edox watches. Today, Edox celebrated its 135th anniversary last year and forged a reputation as the “water champion” of the watch world, creating world- leading divers’ watches.
A luxurious and high-quality timepiece often means dropping some serious cash. However, Edox timepieces will not cost you top dollar. Their timepieces are in the $500-$3000 range which is pretty affordable considering the top-quality and high performance of the watch. The brand has designed and manufactured many high-quality Swiss-made watches for sporting champions of the sea, ice, and for racers to your everyday wear models. In this list, we have rounded up the Edox 5 best watches for men.
