Skeleton Watches for Men

Take a Look Inside Men’s Skeleton Watches

A skeleton watch strips the watch’s dial back to the bare essentials and reveals as much of the inner workings as possible. For watch collectors and enthusiasts, it's more than just the exposed gears and open face of a skeletonized watch that get them excited to put one on. Most skeleton watches for men are built with mechanical movement. For a true aficionado, the ritual of winding the watch is part of the beauty. Not interested in winding? Get an automatic skeleton watch and let your movement do the work for you.

Visible gears don’t mean that a skeleton watch is void of aesthetic details – quite the opposite. From partially open skeleton dials with Roman numerals and thick hands, to watch cases with contrasting bands, there’s a style that’s perfect for work, play and every day in between.

While most automatic and mechanical skeleton watches cost more, there are affordable skeletonized watches with quartz movement. These aren’t true skeleton watches in that the exposed gears are not actually working. But from a distance (and for the cheaper price), you’ll get the look you’re after.
