10 Best 'BLACK' Watches For Black Friday
1. Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph, Ref. Q208A570
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Ref. Q208A570 is a modern-looking timepiece inspired by the brand's first dive watch, the Deep Sea Alarm. But the best thing is that this chronograph is not trying to be vintage.
It wears perfectly at 42mm, and JLC puts just as much emphasis on performance as it does on aesthetics. Given the material, the black titanium case feels modern and is surrounded by a black ceramic insert bezel. The black dial offers an attractive minimalist design with chronograph sub-dials, applied hour markers, and a nice texture to the face.
The Ref. Q208A570 also has a super-soft black calf leather strap that hugs the wrist nicely. The chronograph function indicator grabs your attention, appearing as a small round window where the minute and hour hands converge. The window is either all white, half white, all red, or half red. The different displays reveal the status of the chronograph, indicating whether it’s stopped, paused, or in motion, and while it isn't very useful, it definitely appears cool. The idea behind this is to help divers underwater.
Why this watch is a great pick: This sleek, lightweight, all-black timepiece is bold yet sophisticated and pairs effortlessly with any outfit. It will remain stylish for years to come.
2. Cartier Santos De Cartier Ref. WHSA0009
The Cartier Santos De Cartier Skeleton ADLC 'Noctambule', French for 'night owl,' is a visually striking watch. It combines Cartier's signature skeletonised movement with a luminous base plate and a sporty all-black case.
The 39.7mm case is all blacked out in ADLC (amorphous diamond-like carbon), and the hands and movement are generously filled with Super-LumiNova. Originally introduced in 1904, this Cartier Santos was completely revamped in 2018 and comes equipped with modern conveniences. But what seals the deal for us is the new skeleton dial. Cartier has crafted the skeletonised base plate to serve as the dial, featuring bold Roman numerals radiating from a square that encircles the central axis. The result is a big sporty wristwatch that looks stunning when fully charged and lit in the dark.
The Santos ‘Noctambule’ Ref. WHSA0009 is an absolute standout that looks stealthy during the day and just illuminates when the lights go out. The 'Noctambule' is available on a black alligator strap, which makes this glow-in-the-dark skeleton even more compelling.
Why this watch is a great pick: This Cartier Santos' Noctambule' Ref. WHSA0009 is an all-black classic showcasing unbeatable craftsmanship. The skeleton visuals make a bold style statement while securing an investment that will last.
3. Chanel J12 Black Ceramic Ref. H1757
The Chanel J12 Black Ceramic Ref. H1757 is a not-so-basic 'Black' watch. However, enthusiasts tend to dismiss the Chanel J12 because it comes from Chanel, a fashion house that doesn't have a serious watchmaking legacy like other brands. However, Chanel does own its own watch factory in Switzerland.
The Chanel J12 Ref. H1757 is a beautiful watch sitting comfortably at 38mm in a black ceramic case. This high-gloss finished ceramic is extremely scratch-resistant and keeps the watch looking stylish and new for a very long time. The steel-rimmed black ceramic bezel frames a black lacquered dial, which appears highly luxurious with 12 diamond markers and paves a diamond centre, surrounded by a silver ring. Finally, the high-gloss ceramic black bracelet gives a lot of visual punch.
The Chanel J12 Ref. H1757 is one of the most comfortable watches. You can wear it all day, every day, without ever feeling like you need a break. Chanel has not just stood out in the aesthetics department but also ensured the watch is easy to read, extremely durable, and practical.
Why this watch is a great pick: The Chanel J12 Ref. H1757 is instantly recognisable, and the combination of the diamonds and the black aesthetics creates a fine contrast that is perfect for the season.
4. TAG Heuer Monaco Dark Lord' Special Edition Ref. CBL2180.FC6497
The TAG Heuer Monaco 'Dark Lord' Special Edition Ref. CBL2180.FC6497 is a fiercely elegant black watch that pays homage to the rare and mythical all-black Monaco of the 70s. The watch earned its name, the 'Dark Lord', due to its blackened steel case and predominantly black aesthetic.
Constructed with Grade 2 titanium and treated with black ADLC, this Monaco Special Edition is totally dressed in black and boasts a robust 39mm case. The dial, with a two-piece construction, looks remarkable and introduces far more texture play. The design features a classic circle within a square, with the central circular medallion showcasing a radial brushed finish.
The square frame surrounding the circle is adorned with a striking pebbled texture, evoking the feel of a racing track. The watch face is beautifully adorned with completely contrasting rose gold indices and hands, two chronograph registers at 3 and 9 o'clock, and a small date aperture at 6 o'clock. Befitting the Dark Lord is a sleek black alligator strap.
The TAG Heuer' Dark Lord' is a cult classic model with a dark design that easily sets itself apart from more traditional timepieces. When people see it, they'll instantly recognise the boldness of the 'Monaco' collection.
Why this watch is a great pick: This modern timepiece with state-of-the-art specifications is part of TAG Heuer's prestigious limited edition range, making it a must-have for connoisseurs.
5. Panerai Tuttonero Luminor 1950 3 Days GMT Ref. PAM00438
Crafted in 2012, the Tuttonero Luminor Ref. PAM00438 is Panerai's first watch entirely made of ceramic—the case, crown, bracelet, crown guard, bezel, and lugs. The name 'Ceramica' is written on the dial to refer to its full-ceramic construction.
The Tuttonero Ref. PAM00438 sits at 44mm in a classic Luminor case crafted from matte black ceramic. The movement, Panerai P.9001/B calibre, is entirely black, too. But what is even more interesting is that the bracelet and bezel are black ceramic, giving the watch a royal black appearance. Each bracelet link is asymmetrical and has a curved surface to ensure a softer feel on the wrist. The buckle of this Panerai sample is PVD coated on the outside. The watch face has full Arabic numerals with black oxidised hands that just contribute to the differentness.
This black beauty provides a 3-day power reserve, a date function, and a GMT hand. The power reserve indicator is hidden in the case back on the blacked-out calibre 9001/B's structure. This Luminor's all-black aesthetic is very stark and perfect for Black Friday!
Why this watch is a great pick: The Panerai Tuttonero Luminor Ref, PAM00438 is a bold statement in black ceramic, and its dual-time functionality makes it perfect for modern travellers.
6. Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Limited Edition 'All Black' Ref: 601.CI.0110.RX
Hublot's Spirit Of Big Bang 'All Black' Ref: 601.CI.0110.RX is one of the most iconic all-black Hublot creations, allowing you to experience timekeeping at its most chic.
Designed for seamless transitions from the office to the bar, the Hublot Limited Edition 'All Black' Ref: 601.CI.0110.RX offers a perfect blend of style, functionality, and precision, all housed in a striking 45mm black ceramic case. It fits a brushed/satin finished black ceramic bezel secured by 6 black PVD-coated H-shaped titanium screws.
The skeleton dial is a hallmark of Hublot's Big Bang collection and the Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Limited Edition 'All Black' Ref: 601.CI.0110.RX takes it a notch higher with its black skeleton dial featuring intricate inner workings. It features brushed darkened stainless steel index markers with black luminous fill, bold darkened steel hour and minute hands with black luminous tops and skeletonised bottoms, a black inner bezel flange with a black-on-black minute/seconds track around the dial's perimeter, and a visible skeletonised date wheel positioned between 4 and 5 o'clock.
Additionally, there are two black-rimmed sub-dials at 3 and 6 o'clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock, enhancing its aesthetic and functionality. Finally, the black rubber strap ensures durability with a luxe twist. The fantastic craftsmanship and the all-black aesthetic make this watch a must-have for anyone who appreciates cutting-edge horology.
Why this watch is a great pick: Available in only 500 pieces worldwide, this limited edition timepiece is an ideal choice for Black Friday, especially considering the theme of 'black' associated with the occasion. Not to forget the immense desirability it holds in the market.
7. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref: 15710ST.OO.A002CA.01
The Royal Oak is one of the most iconic watches of all time, and more or less, Audemars Piguet has established its modern presence on the strong foundation of the Royal Oak. The AP Royal Oak Offshore ‘Diver’ is an extension of the brand’s excellence in craftsmanship and precision.
The Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref: 15710ST.OO.A002CA.01 is one of the most popular models of the series and is a dive watch through and through, offering a water resistance of 300 metres. It has a 42mm stainless steel case with a black ‘Mega Tapisserie’ dial, but surprisingly, the watch sits larger than its size. It is decorated with white gold rimmed hour markers, a black or silver-toned rotating inner bezel with the diving scale from 60 to 15 minutes in black, the iconic Royal Oak hands and a small date window at 3 o’clock. This AP Diver timepiece is easily distinguished from other models with its black rubber-clad screw-locked crown at 10 o’clock. It is extremely comfortable and easy to wear with its diver-style black rubber strap. You can admire the movement Calibre 3120, offering a power reserve of 60 hours through the transparent case back.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref: 15710ST.OO.A002CA.01 is a modern classic and easily the most comprehensible and slimmest version of the Royal Oak Offshore.
Why this watch is a great pick: The Royal Oak Offshore Diver is part of the legendary Royal Oak family, so you can well apprehend its desirability and popularity on the market. Apart from making a statement on your wrist, this watch is a standout investment, too.
8. Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 226659
Rolex, a brand through good times and bad, needs no introduction. Thus, we'll straight away move on to Rolex's "watch of the open seas"—the Yacht-Master. Here, we picked the stunning black Yacht-Master model Ref. 226659, which we think is a lifestyle piece rather than a tool watch. Big, bold, and black, the Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 226659 is a handsome piece.
The Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 226659 comes in a large 42mm 18ct white gold case with sleek black tones, marking the first time the Yacht-Master has appeared in white gold. With its matte black Cerachrom bezel and simple black dial, this watch is the epitome of stealth luxury. It is a statement watch you can wear on the deck of your yacht, get splashed by ocean water, walk into a party or conduct boardroom meetings, all while looking affluent.
The absence of colour draws attention to the details, and you can find Rolex's emphasis on the play of shiny and matte surfaces. The polished notches encircling the bezel provide a sharp contrast to the matte Cerachrom insert, while the matte surface further highlights the sheen of the black lacquer dial. The matte black rubber Oysterflex strap adds icing on the cake, tying everything together in just the right harmony.
Why this watch is a great pick: This Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Ref. 226659 is the kind of luxury you desire to have in your collection. Apart from the attention-grabbing black design guaranteed to catch the onlooker's eye, let's not forget the inevitable prestige of owning a Rolex this Black Friday!
9. Girard Perregaux Free Bridge Ref: 82000-11-631-FA6A
Girard Perregaux is a maker of exceptional Haute Horlogerie creations, and the 'Free Bridge' model, with its modern aesthetics and attention to detail, is a favourite among the most discerning watch aficionados. The Girard Perregaux Free Bridge Ref: 82000-11-631-FA6A is a sporty-looking dress watch that can be worn for both formal and social occasions.
The Free Bridge Ref: 82000-11-631-FA6A comes in a highly polished 44mm steel case with a lovely refined design and exhibition case back. The skeletonised theme of the Free Bridge face is the main attraction, with an appropriate level of depth, legibility, and movement animation. It attracts the eye with its polish and shine.
A sense of industrial art prevails throughout this timepiece, dominated by a large hour bridge framing the mainspring barrel. The bridge held in place by four mirror-polished screws looks stunning with both linear brushwork and hand beveling. The key to this absolute aesthetic success is the wonderful sense of symmetry the two bridges present. Attached to this Girard Perregaux is a black calfskin strap that enhances the exotic appearance of the timepiece with two stitches of contrasting colour.
One pleasing surprise is the presence of a sublime box sapphire crystal with a dome shape. While on the outside, the watch looks bold and contemporary, at its heart, it is traditional and meant for horology enthusiasts.
Why this watch is a great pick: The Girard Perregaux Free Bridge Ref: 82000-11-631-FA6A gives a practical glimpse into the world of highly expressive luxury watches with interesting mechanical parts. Buy it this Black Friday to infuse your style with a bold, futuristic edge.
10. Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref. 5112G-001
Given Patek Philippe's storied legacy, selecting a single timepiece that truly stands out is no easy feat. Enter the brand's one of the lesser-known contemporary collections—the Gondolo. The Gondolo is the most antique-looking Patek creation, characterised by timeless style, strong lines, and geometric simplicity.
The Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref. 5112G-001 is an elegant Gondol, perfectly embodying the essence of a classic dress watch. The watch is instantly recognisable for its 30mm rectangular case made of 18ct white gold. It is framed with 72 sparkling diamonds set on the bezel and shoulders. Patek brings a modern twist on classic elegance with the bright black diamond dial adorned with three baguette diamonds and a small dot diamond at 6 o'clock. This stark contrast between the dark dial and sparkling diamonds create an eye-catching effect, making it ideal for those who appreciate understated luxury. The watch is worn on a blue leather strap with a white gold buckle, ensuring added comfort.
Wear it to a formal event, a dinner party, or as an everyday piece—the Gondolo 5112G-001 is perfect for anything and everything.
