Succumb to the Dark Side: The Best Black Timepieces

There are very few rules in fashion that stand the test of time, but the notion that black goes with everything is as close to eternal as it comes. Regardless of what the fashion police say, however, a blacked-out sports watch just looks downright mean on any man’s wrist. The pieces below rely on high-tech materials like titanium, ceramic and DLC-coated steel (DLC stands for “diamond-like carbon” an ultra-tough material also used in Formula One engines) which adds to their durability. The monochrome palette, meanwhile, makes these watches pair perfectly with leather jackets, sleek cashmere v-necks and just about all of your other casual winter wardrobe staples.
