3 Classic Filippo Loreti Watches For Men

3 Classic Filippo Loreti Watches For Men

Some watches never go out of style. Classic men’s watches are timeless designs that are subtle yet elegant and are a must in any man’s collection. Let’s find out what makes a men’s watch a true classic, and check out 3 affordable examples by Filippo Loreti.

They say that trends are temporary, but class is permanent. This is especially true in the luxury watch world, where all kinds of new styles, innovations, colors, and features come and go, but men just keep gravitating back to that classic, timeless style. 

Classic watches for men

There’s a good reason for that—luxury watches come from a rich tradition of history and skilled craftsmanship that dates back centuries. The best classic men's watches combine an astonishing level of precision engineering with high culture, creating a unique form of technical art that’s deeply rooted in the ancient study of horology.

That’s why you’ll find that most luxury watches today still feature mechanical or automatic movements. These function through complex, spring-based mechanisms and require no external power source beyond either a daily wind or, in the case of the automatic, the motion of the wearer’s wrist. These movements are so popular because they trace their origins all the way back to the original culture of fine watchmaking, creating a direct line with history that many men find so fascinating.

That said, there is still a place for the battery-powered quartz movement, a more recent innovation that has proven to be more convenient and reliable than mechanical watches. Many luxury brands are turning to batteries to power their timepieces, with advances in technology and the modern lifestyle creating a firm niche for the luxury quartz.

In this article, we’re going to check out some classic watches from Filippo Loreti, a more recent player in the luxury watch world that nevertheless understands the importance of history and tradition. Filippo Loreti takes its inspiration from the Italian style, which values classic, quality timepieces that exude the rich culture and sophistication of this wonderful country. 

But first, let’s dig a bit deeper into what makes a classic watch. 

What is the Classic Style?

Classic men’s watches are all about simple, elegant, and understated style. These are the kinds of watches that you would pair with a tux at a formal event, or at an important business meeting. 

Classic men’s watches don’t need a busy dial full of complex and advanced features, they are designed to complement, rather than dominate a man’s style and are ideal for men who don’t need to attract any more attention to themselves than necessary. You could say that classic men’s watches are best suited to a man who is confident, grounded, and self-assured.

With this in mind, your classic men’s watch should feature a sleek, sophisticated dial without a lot of clutter. It should also be a natural color, either black, white, silver, gold, or even blue, a color that has gained wide acceptance in luxury watches over the years.

We mentioned that classic men’s watches have a deep connection with history—the Ascari is a celebration of one of the legends of motorsport. 

Named after Alberto Ascari, Ferrari’s World Champion in 1952 and 1953 (the first driver to win the title more than once), this classic racing watch channels the vintage era of motorsport, when dashing, daring drivers risked their lives for glory in their fast but basic machines. The Deep Blue Steel Link brings a hint of modernity with its bold blue dial, but the retro chronograph features are pure 1950’s and make for a classic timepiece of sporty and masculine style. 

The Ascari is perfect for the active, sporty gentleman who has a keen interest in history and a desire to look good anywhere from the racetrack to the boardroom.
