Even though the concept of affordable luxury is relatively new and actually not so clear, as “affordable” means significantly different things to different people, there is a whole range of reasonably-priced luxury watches for men that can be easily attributed to this category, with many designer names available to consumers. The following list includes some of the best examples of quality watches for men that come under $5,000.

1. Breitling Colt Automatic

Initially created for the armed forces, the Breitling Colt Automatic quickly became popular with men throughout the world, largely due to its timeless yet stylish look. Priced at only $3,200, this stainless steel mechanical watch with the Breitling iconic rider tabs on the rotating bezel is in no way inferior to its more expensive counterparts.

2. Victorinox Swiss Army AirBoss Mechanical 

Created with precision and reliability in mind, the Victorinox Swiss Army AirBoss Mechanical is a new interpretation of the highly functional vintage pilot timepieces worn by brilliant aviators. Even though the retail price of this stainless steel model is only $1,050, it is an extremely accurate luxury watch equipped with an automatic movement.

3. Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue

The Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue is a vintage-inspired chronograph with, however, original and modern spirit.
