The Best Brown Leather Band Watches – Fall 2011

Stainless goes with almost everything.  Black leather watches can look awfully dressed up.  It’s a brown leather band watch that acts as the workhorse for most of us on most days.  So since we’re going to use one a lot, might as well make sure it looks great… right?
Ten watches follow.  Some are quartz, some automatic, some are sporty and some would be more appropriate with a suit.  There’s a range of different details but they all have two things in common…  They come with a brown leather strap (or look awfully good with one) and none of them cost more than $300.
Watch shown above:  The Timex Flyback Chrono.  Thanks to Naomi for sending in the post suggestion.

Seiko SNDA65 – $184.05 (brown leather strap is a post purchase customization)

New strap, new look.

Undeniable proof that black and brown sometimes do go very well together.  Pic courtesy of longtime reader Ben E., who’s been putting up with this website for longer than most.  Seiko’s SNDA65 chrono comes equipped with a black nylon strap, but when swapped out for a brown leather with white contrast stitching it gets a whole new look.  Not that the first look was anything short of great.  A warning:  The diameter of the dial is 44mm, so it’s on the larger side.

Tissot PRC-200 Chronograph – $276.20

Maybe the best looking of the bunch.

Expensive.  Also a quartz.  But perhaps one of the most perfect blends of classic influence, chronograph details, and sport style.  All without getting too big or too fast looking.  40mm in width.visualizzare più rolex repliche e rolex imitazioni
