The Best Summer Watches for Men, According to Style Editors

When night falls, the glow-in-the-dark function illuminates the face with blue and gold accents—a nod to the Navy SEALs it was built to honor. The 45mm case is made of stainless steel for added strength and protects the innards from water damage on missions (or at pool parties).

The watch face details shine yellow at night, and the black case and ISO-certified shock resistance are ready for whatever comes next. The rotating bezel, date display window, and tachymeter scale jam- pack it with purpose.

Luminescent accents make it easy to tell the time in any lighting conditions, and a sunray dot enhances visibility via reflection. It’s minimal(ish), classic, and, as the name suggests, bold.

This chronograph has a luminescent coating on the hands and hour markers, which glow in dusky environments for optimal readability. A lightweight, super strong Breitlight case keeps it all protected.

Batteries? This watch has Eco-Drive, which keeps it running by collecting energy from any light source and storing it in a power cell. Throw in water resistance and a triple-link stainless steel bracelet and it’ll survive almost anything.

Three subdials track every heartbeat of a race in seconds, minutes, and hours. Plus the souped-up watch has a speed-measuring tachymeter, as well as bold hands for better visibility at night.

With a dial evoking the turquoise waters of South Beach, this model combines a diver watch with a racetrack-accurate chronograph controlled by two pushers. The bezel has a tachymeter to measure velocity, while the self-winding movement boasts 70 hours of reserve power.

The central chronograph hand measures seconds, activated by two pushers for super-accurate timing. A polished steel bezel, secured by titanium screws, adds a tough look to a sturdy 44mm case.

This timepiece has a bright dial to ensure legibility when you’re exploring the depths (or the dead of night). The precise bezel provides accurate dive time tracking. And an ultra-tough Oystersteel case delivers an oh-wow 300 meters of water resistance.

With a hybrid ceramic case and a classic bubble shape, this dive watch withstands depths up to 100 meters and pairs with a perforated rubber strap for easy all-day wear.

The Duck can withstand water pressure up to 100 meters, so it easily handles swimming, surfing, and snorkeling. The rubber strap and the sapphire crystal are both designed to resist whatever the tide throws at them.

The blue-green dial is vertically gradated, which eases readability when the watch is partially submerged. With water resistance of up to 200 meters, it’s tough enough for almost any adventure.
