Rather than just being decorative accessories, many of the top November 2015 watches are designed to pay tribute to everything from world-famous adventurers and astronauts to pilots. This includes the Longines Heritage Military COSD, which has a 1940s-inspired design that celebrates British paratroopers, as well as the Helgray Hornet watch, which channels a fighter pilot of the 80s. Masculine, militaristic style is also carried through in the Bamford Rolex Commando watches.
While many of these designs take inspiration from a very serious source, others like the Led Zeppelin Tribute Watch from ArtyA are designed to celebrate icons of pop culture.
In addition to telling time, a watch from the Dakota Watch Company serves as a handy multi-tool, while the Garmin Forerunner 235 also includes a heart rate sensor for health monitoring.
