Top 5 Watches for Adventurers
We adventurers need to be well equipped. Regardless of your location, urban or remote, whether you're on an unguided foot safari in Kruger Park, or simply scouring your hometown for the best Mexican food, you need a solid watch.
A watch serves three main purposes for adventurers. First, watches are a fashion statement. For many of us, a watch is one of the few pieces, if not the only piece, of jewelry we wear. Your watch definitely says something about who you are. Secondly, a watch can be used to determine which direction is North sans compass (there is abundant information about this on the web). Finally, there is the all too obvious purpose...it tells time.
Here are my top five:
Panerai Luminor 176 Titanium - $5,800 MSRP
Where to buy it for $5,220
Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish - $2,945 MSRP
Where to buy it for $2,250
Hamilton Khaki Field Auto - $525 MSRP
Where to buy it for $365
Swiss Army Infantry Vintage Day/Date - $495 MSRP
Where to buy it for $316.99
Luminox Black Ops - $400 MSRP
Where to buy it for $228
