The Two-Tone Watch Is Back and Better Than Ever

Gold and silver watches are classic choices, but for those who want something more than silver but find solid gold too blingy, a timepiece that combines both tones is a versatile companion day in and day out. Variety comes in the differing use of gold accents, darker and lighter dials that offset the metals in different ways, and a wide range of complications that cater to whatever type of life you may live.

Dark Touch

BetterTogether-Guess

Silver and rose gold tone dress watch ($190) by Guess.

A prominent black dial pops against the lighter metallics, providing a stylish juxtaposition that also makes for an easy to read display.

Simple and Clean

BetterTogether-Tudor

Stainless steel, 18K gold, silver dial with 3 diamonds watch ($3,860) by Tudor.

The most minimalist of the group, the fine lines of gold provide little hits of flash against the stark silver of the watch and the white dial.

Curve Appeal

BetterTogether-Bulova

CURV watch ($995) by Bulova.

If its name doesn’t give it away, this watch boasts a proprietary curved face which helps it sit flush and comfortably on your wrist.

Light Bright

BetterTogether-Oris

Artix Date in stainless steel and 18K rose gold watch ($2,600) by Oris.

Smaller links in the bracelet construction provide extra depth and texture by creating a faceted appearance that catches the lights in unique ways.

Dialed In

BetterTogether-Breitling

Chronomat 44 GMT watch ($17,240) by Breitling.

The gold and silver construction surround the feature-rich dial of this world timer. You can easily switch between time zones and the 70 hour power reserve will outlast even the furthest long-haul flight.
