A Watch For Every Dad For Father’s Day

With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect moment to pause and celebrate the dads, grandfathers, mentors, and father figures who’ve shaped our lives. Whether they’ve been our steady compass during tough times or our biggest cheerleaders in moments of triumph, their presence has made all the difference. As the days grow warmer and longer, what better time to reconnect, reflect, and share something meaningful? This year, we’ve curated a special Father’s Day Gift Guide featuring timeless watches from Gnomonwatches—each one selected to reflect the strength, style, and character of the dads we admire. From rugged divers to refined dress watches, these pieces aren’t just about telling time—they’re about honoring it.



Hitori Somei Yoshino


For the dad who appreciates subtle elegance with a distinctly Japanese spirit, the Hitori Yoshino makes a thoughtful and refined gift. Inspired by the graceful beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, this timepiece integrates Japanese Oriental beauty in watch making through a beautifully balanced 39.6mm case and refined finishing. The myriad of different watch dials includes vertically brushed, Sakura texture and even one inspired by the night sky. It offers a unique twist—calm and understated in low light, yet rich and dynamic when it catches the sun. The sharp indices, dauphine hands, and framed date window at 3 o’clock keep the layout crisp, while the ever tried and tested Japanese automatic movement ensures reliable performance. Finished with an integrated bracelet and screw-down exhibition caseback, the Yoshino is effortlessly versatile—ideal for both weekday polish and weekend ease. 

At around $539, it’s a meaningful gift for the dad whose style, like his presence, leaves a lasting impression.



Dievas Flieger Chronograph M156 – Limited Edition


For the ever-practical dad who values precision, heritage, and a bold sense of purpose, the Flieger Chronograph M156 is a gift that makes a powerful statement. Inspired by original 1980s German pilot chronographs, this limited-edition piece (just 25 made worldwide) channels a legacy of functionality through a rugged, bead-blasted 40mm case and crisp utilitarian design. The chrono dial adds a modern twist—deep and matte in tone yet energised by high-contrast markings and vivid red chronograph hands. Olive-shaped pushers, a screw-down crown, and a unidirectional bezel with luminous triangle complete its tool-watch credentials. Inside, the Swiss-made Sellita SW500 automatic chronograph movement delivers reliable performance with a smooth 48-hour power reserve. Paired with both a premium FKM rubber strap and a vintage leather option, the M156 is ready for flight, field, or family weekend. 

At $1680, it’s the perfect gift for the dad whose time is always well spent.



Evant Tropic Diver


For the tropical dad who’s always in his floral t-shirt by the sea—and appreciates a touch of vintage soul—the Evant Tropic Diver makes a bold yet refined gift. Inspired by classic 1970s skin divers, this striking piece blends retro styling with modern specs, housed in a rugged 39.5mm 316L stainless steel case with crisp polished edges. The fumé sunburst dial adds character—fresh and vibrant in the light, yet deep and composed when it counts. A ceramic bezel with a vintage-style bakelite look, domed sapphire crystal, and applied indices filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova round out its dive-ready appeal. With 300m of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a reliable Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement, it’s built to go the distance—whether that’s into the deep or through a weekend getaway. The watch comes fitted with a period-correct beads-of-rice bracelet and is also compatible with quick-release Tropic rubber straps for added versatility.

At around $589, the Tropic Diver 39 Viridian is an ideal gift for the dad who’s always up for an adventure—and does it all with effortless style.
