What do you guys think? Did I miss any?!
Yes.. you missed the Hamilton Khaki field auto. Its a great everyday watch.
To me the closest thing I can get to an objective answer would be the VC Overseas. You get a mix of sporty and elegant, and can completely change the look ad feel of the watch since it comes with the SS bracelet, leather strap, and rubber strap. You are also going to spend considerably less than a 222. I just think this verstility without buying aftermarket straps is unmatched.
Yes
Omega no time to die

No Explorer is crazy
Came here to say the same. The Explorer looks as good in a suit and tie as it does with jeans and a t-shirt. The ultimate in versatility.
@@albertmeursault Yep this guy is a shameful salesman - his opinions are heavily biased because he's trying to sell you only the brands in his store
@@stanwilson7040 I mean he did mention the submariner and Daytona so I'd like to hope this isn't true. Just and observation I made
Agreed. That’s my grail and I love it as a daily but you can wear with a tux.
well, it’s a great watch… it’s fantastic … but not actually “crazy” to omit it
A great and affordable alternative to the IWC Ingenieur is the Baume & Mercier Riviera at about one quarter of the price.
No Sinn 556A!?😮 one of my favourite watches I’ve ever had.
556i is a perfect GADA
i'd go with Sinn U50
For a new watch guy like me, this reaffirmed some models I love and introduced me to new ideas.
My first watch was a Moonwatch, 2nd was an AP Royal Oak. The Omega is a fantastic piece and tough as a brick.
Great video! Awesome range of watches and a few that are on my personal 'hit list' 😃
I recently bought the Hydroconquest GMT in black. Great watch, great to wear! Got me already a lot of attention.
Very nice video! And so happy to the moonwatch a the top of the list. Was my first watch and opened up the door to collection. Great vid. You won the sub!
Good list on the whole!
In my opinion the the pricing of the IWC Ingenieur is insane. It costs about twice the price of the IWC Mark XX that uses the same movement and isn’t (much) inferior in terms of fit and finish. I could have accepted €1,000 or perhaps €2,000 for the Genta design and hype but a premium of €6,200 to me is - as I already said - just insane.
Amazing List
"One" is not a collection of anything! One watch is a watch, two is a pair and at three curated items you have a collection.
FWIW, I was that one watch person for over 32 years, my GMT Pepsi from 1983 to 2015. I was NOT a watch collector during this time! 🤔
From 2015 to 2019 I had a second watch, a $50 G-shock while my Rolex was down for service [a pair of watches, still not a collector]. I started collecting in 2019 when I purchased a Speedy Pro and a JLC Reverso and bought a watch box to display them [this means curated]. IMHO, the perfect "curated" three watch collection.
A Speedy Pro, Reverso and that awesome '83 Rolex GMT. Congrats, mate! Much respect!
@@deaanscottv1 Thanks for the kind words as these are three watches I've loved for 40+ years.
"curated" by every watch TH-camr starting with the pontiff. well done for thinking you thought it up all by yourself.
@@davidr2802 I don't take credit for "curated" this is the accepted definition that I've heard from other experts for years. The fact that you even watch that idiot the pontiff negates me taking you seriously.
One is the end of a journey. The one watch that always feel comfortable wearing. It is the ultimate goal of watch enthousiasts.
Definitely adding some of these to my wish list!
Nice info about watches.. few were new to me and hope to add in my collection.
Bought my PRX last year and I absolutely love it. I have huge hands and the 41 mm looks and fits perfectly
Graet video glad you had a Breitling in your list. A very underrated watch and you where bang on when you said that if your spotted with a Breitling watch on a real watch fan will notice.
Longines spirit Zulu 39mm is fire
Really enjoyed this Harrison. Like your multi tasking skills of making coffee at the same time 😁. I would had an explorer or explorer II instead of one of the Chronographs 👍
I agree those 20 would make a nice collection indeed!!
Longines hydroconquest GMT❤ One and done!
How is one watch a "collection" ? The premise of this video is absurd
@@stanwilson7040 i agree with you, but we all know what he is trying to explain. Versatility
In 39mm and titanium. For sure.
Thanks Harrison! Great picks! The Santos de Cartier would be my ultimate one watch if it wasn’t such a scratch magnet..
Embrace the scratches, my friend. I have and it’s changed my life for the better.
Agree with the Speedy being the #1 pick for a 1 watch collection!
Speedy is the moonswatch except a higher price 😂😂😂😊
@@Andrew-yy2ye You’re the guy who says Rolex is just a Tudor except a higher price. 🤣🤣🤣
@@wiscobuckeye you're right 😁 except FOOLEX is a fashion brand 😋
Why? It’s so dull and so boring. No ceramic bezel, no date. Plane Jane
Hello Harrison as always! Awesome video, also, as always ;)
As a potential upgrade to these videos, did you ever look into video chapters? I feel like it could be a solid addition. Cheers!
Hey mate! Thank you!! Absolutely great point, I love positive feedback like this. Let me look into this for the community here!
All good options Harrison (as always). One... well two addition(s) that I think are certainly worth considering include the now discontinued Tudor BB 36 black dial and the evergreen Rolex Explorer in 36. Great case finishes and brilliantly readable at a glance. GADA watches that look cool regardless of the event.
Very nicely done video with good choices. Picking holes in the choices would be silly as each to their own, though I would add a Breguet type XX or XXII to the list, oh and of course a Breitling SuperOcean Heritage Chronograph 44mm.
Nice choice as always :-) Thanks for videos. I am just wondered for Omega Moonwatch how this story put so much attention. It was not unique watch on the moon, there was also Bulova :-) and without any issue.
My experience with NKUWAN was fantastic. The watch arrived quickly and was exactly as described.
Longines Hydraconquest 39mm blue :) One and done!
Agree with you about the Cartier. I wear mine regularly. Depends the kind of work you do. Could make an argument that the Tank Francaise is more suited for this video with the recessed crown; less likely to snag it on something. What do you make of the 3 ATM water resistance?
I love how casually you pour your coffee 😂❤
The Speedmaster Moonwatch is god tier for me. Excellent choice. But the rest of the list was absolutely amazing. Well done! 😎👍
Speedmaster = boring
The Tank is one of my faves. I have the Solo XL and even though it’s considered a dress watch I consider it a daily beater.
I own and love the speedy but it lacks the water resistance to be a perfect one watch collection.
50m is enough to keep the rain out, would you really want to shower or swim with an expensive watch?
@@15harry1561 yes, I swim every day with my submariner on.
I noticed most of these watches also get talked about in multi watch collections. Basically buy as many or as few watches as you like and call it a collection
Does the Seiko 5 GMT have a Cyclops window for the date? Thanks!
I have a Seiko LE Diver 200m with a lovely blue face and it's a brilliant watch to wear out or swimming/ watersports.
Thank you so much nkuwan for taking us shopping🛍…my wish list just got longer
A TAG is a watch every young man should have as soon as he gets his first salaried position and/or if an entrepreneur, can afford an automatic watch. The Aqua Racers are cool and classy
JLC Polaris - subscribed - my grail 1 watch. Until you own a JLC you cannot fully appreciate the step up in quality and finish compared to anything else in the price bracket. They are works of art!
Nice filtered coffee on the go while filming mate! Cheers Harrison!
I’m totally hooked to it!! Cheers man, appreciate that!
Another informative video about our pation watches !!thanks bro for once again 👏👍💪❤️
My pleasure! Thanks mate
Great video! You probably don’t want to add too many of the same brand but I would add the Rolex GMT, thats my daily feels good in all situations and good for traveling.
Personally I think the datejust jubilee should be on the list as well, can be sporty, yet elegant and has a very useful ever-day feature (the date)
I love your content man and supporting you from the day one but how the hell you can miss the Nomos Club Sport 39 (especially the smoke dial!) How? Haven't you seen it yet??
I got a question My long jeans conquest self-wind you know automatic watch it's really really loud louder than I think it should be should I have it checked or is this normal
Great review.There is a difference between a 1 watch collection and a watch that people will buy if they can only buy 1 watch.Logines and Tag are at the top of the list with Longines being a better 1 watch collection and Tag being a watch that more people only buy one watch.
The second you said hit that subscribe button, a colorful outline appeares. How cool
My DAGA watch is a IWC Pilot Mark XV in bracelet.
Somehow now I want that folding camera on your table more than a new watch 🤣
The first watch to the mooon 7 august 1971, simultaneously with Omega, was actually the Bulova Lunar Pilot. The Omega Speedmaster didn’t survive, while the Bulova Lunar Pilot did. Bulova partnered with NASA from mid-1950s to the late 1970s. Bulova helped NASA engineering mechanics for all sorts of instruments, using Bulova’s Accutron technolog (ref. Bulova’s homepage). Both watches was carried by astronaut Dave Scott.
At the time of the lunar miseion he excact model name for Bulova’s watch was «Bulova Accutron». It was the only privately owned watch reaching the moon.Todays Bulova Lunar Pilot is a remake of it.
The one and only original Bulova Accutron was the one Dave Scott carried. It was later sold at an auction for $ 1 625 000,-.
The Rado captain cook is such a versatile watch which can be dressed up or down, can be a tool watch or a classy watch. The rotating logo is such a nice touch.
how do you rotate the logo?
@@pyruvicsynthase5879 it automatically does
@@pyruvicsynthase5879it changes at different angles when your hand moves, not rotating
@@pyruvicsynthase5879 Just wearing the watch and moving it around will move the anchor around.
@@OneLordeAnimeClips cool, my dad's ordered one lets see
I have a Speedmaster racing 40mm and love it
I would agree with you on Daytona if it was with black dial. Also how could you skip Explorer? 😊
Daytona is the king.I Hate Hublot but my god when I first saw this watch I was left speechless.I just love Hublot Fusion Orlinski chrono.Amazing micro blasted titanium with perfect triangle motif braclet and spectacular decagon case.For me the most beautiful chrono in the world,such an innovative design with state of the art technology inside this watch.
Now I get IT Hublot!!
The "Chudar" black bay is nice
I Loved Your Picks. Have some of them including the #1 pick the “Speedy”. The one that is on the top of my list to purchase is the Zenith Sport Chrono. I absolutely love it. I would take it Over Any other Watch on your list. Thanks for sharing your Opinion.
Man that Christopher Ward makes some nice stuff. It's nice to see time pieces that aren't 80k.
I miss Nomos on that list. Despite that you had some very good choices! Nice video ☺️
Good selection and mix across price ranges. I would have included a Cartier Santos for good measure and swapped the Zenith Chronomaster for an El Primero.
i like that you are so relaxed that you get out of bed and go straight to making content. Morning hair? 0 fucks given, roll the cameras! 😅
I dont know about rankings necessarily because personal taste and price are always factors. I have a 21 year old Omega Seamaster 300 with the sword hands. It's never been serviced and still runs at a +1 second average per day. It's a great all around watch. I grew up during the US space program from Mercury to Gemini to Apollo. Because of that, my real prize is my Omega Speedmaster Pro Sapphire with its incredible 3861 movement. It too runs at +1 second per day with winding every other day. Its bracket is gorgeous and taoers from 20mmm to 15mm. I've worn it casually and with a sport jacket or suit and It looks right at home. When someone sees it and realizes what it is, and its history he usually wants to get a better look at it. One thing about the bracelet. As opposed to the older bracelets which were more "utility" like, the new one is a bit shinier and more dressy. I'm getting an Artem sailcloth strap with the Omega like deployment clasp delivered tomorrow and may use it for some everyday wear. I've always liked the way that my various chronographs over the years have looked on a solid black strap. It gives them more of that classic "tool"" feel.
Hi Harrison, Who makes the Nato straps that you have, they look to be great quality with the leather trim. Cheers for all the great content,
Bark and Jack, I imagine lol
Nomos Ahoi 38 is my one and done suggestion, water resistant, can be dressed up and down easily.
Great number 1
Tissot Seastar 2000 for me is the best😂😂
I would have liked to see the NOMOS Club and/or Tangente models on your list. Both offer exceptional value for money. And as an alternative for the very pricey IWC Ingenieur, the Mark XX would have been a good addition to the list as well. After all, the IWC Flieger watches are at least nearly as iconic as the Genta Ingenieur models.
OK, also can be Seiko SPB143 - ultimate diver and versatile watch.
Good list, but I’d include my one-and-done watch, that being my Rolex Explorer 124270, literally works in every situation and my other watches like my Pelagos 39 etc really had to take the back seat ever since I got the Explorer.
Can't do one since i need a g-shock for running and cycling. Mine's 2, namely G-Shock GW-M 5610U and Seiko GMT SSK001
Patek 5212a… done and done
I own a speedmaster professional I can’t see myself having just 1 watch. Never. Too many out there , in my collection I own 24, and wearing the same one each day gets ultra old. But to each their own. Cheers buddy!
the bb36 on a steel bracelet, its a diver a field watch and a dress watch all on one, and half the price of an explorer, also i would put the khaki field auto above the expedition, its got field watch dna with a touch of understated elegance
Good video maybe include prices as well 👍
Need to list the prices, mate
Hamilton Khaki Murph w/ 3 straps: factory for dressy, tropic rubber for adventure or beach, brown leather or sand sailcloth for daily.
This is a great answer - I love this approach
Love my 38m Murph ❤
@@Warryn-qj5piI sold my 42mm for the 38mm once they released the smaller model.
@@jimmytompkins7750thank you. I think, for the price, it’s the best answer for a normal / poor person such as myself.
Need a Longines, great value for money.
Where is that 16520 from? That thing is CRISP! Is it for sale? Also, very cool video mate….
For me the best one watch collection would be an Explorer 1 or an AquaTerra small seconds. That said I don't think I could go below a 2 watch collection. Would want to keep a g shock square for wearing on days I'd prefer not having 5-10k on my wrist and to the gym as the gshock timer function is perfect for workouts.
Excellent Video!!!! It allows me to see the perspective of other Watch Collectors!!!! But I would not have titled the video "The Perfect One Watch Collection", coz a collection, as the word indicates, is when you have several items that are similar among them. And one watch/item doesn't fill that description. I would had titled it The Best 20 Watches To Start your Collection!!!! Its strange for me that the Blancpain Fifthy Fathoms was not there, I would have included that one instead of the Submariner. But that is MHHO. But still, the list WAS FANTASTIC!!! And I liked the description given here for many of these models, and the take was excellent for the details!!!! And I liked even more for the # 1- Selection- The Omega Speedmaster "Moonwatch". I myself used to have 19 different variations of the Speedmaster, starting with a 145-012-67 with Caliber 321 that I got used in 1970, then a MarkII in 1972, and also included the 125 Anniversary that was the first Automatic Chronograph with Chronometer Certification with cal 1041, some 176.014s with Caliber 1045, and the Holy Grail that I lamentably sold, the 376-0822!!!! Now, I only have two, a 1980ish Moonwatch with cal 861, and a 2005 Co-Axial Chronometer with caliber 3313 or so. I have always loved Chronographs, my very first one, an Automatic Seiko Chrono my dad brought me from Japan in 1969, that I eventually learned, was the First Automatic Chrono ever made, with Vertical Clutch, Column Wheel, Magic Lever Auto Winding, and day/date!!!!!! I still have parts of that watch!!!!! Yes, my favorite Chronos have been Omega first, then Seiko. I used to have a Rolex 6265 "Paul Newman" with cal 72, but It was a lemon, so I sold it, no regrets, but my Omegas, there were something different!!!!
JLC Reverso in steel - perfect for everything apart from diving/adventuring
Longines Spirit!
A one watch collection indeed. That's the funniest thing I've heard all day ;)
Omega Seamaster 300 heritage is an ideal one watch
My choices would be speedmaster sapphire sandwich, the black submariner date, a seamaster 300, a Bluesy (but only if you own a big boat) or a Pepsi...any of those could be a one and done...
this may not be a fit for everyone but for me the Tudor black bay 54 wins and that's what I currently have.
Longines ruined that GMT by placing every shape they had available on the dial.
Speedmaster il everywhere 🤣. Incredible…
Including the Tank but not including the Santos is a total blunder, more so when you included a few divers and chronos that are not particularly suitable in many instances. The Santos even comes with the strap so you can dress it up and has 100m water resistance.
I’ll take a GS Heritage series spring drive.
Good list - although while the 222 is grail status for many - I think in the classification of "all arounder/one watch collection" - the VC Overseas would have been the better choice to feature. Just given the fact that you have 150m of water resistence, anti-magnetic, steel case, 3 bracelet options that come with the watch, etc. Would I trade my Overseas for a 222 if given the chance at retail? Absolutely. But that wouldn't qualify it as a better overall perfect one watch collection.
You missed the Rolex Explorer. For a one watch collection you really need a watch with a plain bezel, not one festooned with numbers, so that it can blend into any environment. The Tank is an excellent choice but if you’re going to allow more than one brand from the same list the Santos also needs to be there.
A one watch has to do it all. Seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, and month and year would be handy. IWC do a very nice one @ $74,000.
I think JLC should fix the lug gap if they’re going to charge premium prices , that’s absolutely unacceptable!
Absolutely unacceptable is also Tudor which sold this heritage model for 4300€ with at best average ETA movement.
for me, Rolex Oyster Perpetual, Zenith El Primero A386, Longines Spirit Titan all in 38mm ;-)
I’ve heard that before but unfortunately I can’t just have one & done.
There is no way one watch will do. You need a replacement when your one watch goes in for service!
Hahaha, it is hard to stop once you start!
Rolex Explorer/Datejust, Grand Seiko Snowflake or Shunbun, Panerai Luminor, Casio G-Shock, Nomos Club, AP RO, VC Overseas, Cartier Santos (better than Tank i think), Some Oris etc should have been here.. So many iconic one and done watches are missing here…
Do you own your YT channel or is it owned by Chisholm Hunter?
Are you considering doing an Andrew Morgan?
This guy is an Andrew Morgan from Wish
@@stanwilson7040😂😂😂, best comment of the day 😂😂😂
I have always found this channel strange. He goes out of his way to make the language like it is about him and not refer to Chisholm Hunter. Andrew was operating like an employee, but this seems like a personal channel.
Datejust is the ultimate one watch collection
I'm really starting to consider a Rado Captain Cook instead of a Longines
