With the growing interest in watches among our readers, I’ve curated a list of 11 stylish timepieces priced under £200 (approximately 7 million VND for ease 😀), based on Esquire UK's recommendations. These watches offer a perfect blend of aesthetics, quality, and affordability, making them great options for Vietnamese men looking to up their watch game.
Braun BN0042 (Just Over 4 Million VND)
Known primarily for their razors, Braun made a bold move into the watch scene, shedding any perception of "cheapness" with the Braun x Dieter Rams collection. The BN0042 stands out with its sleek, rounded square face, black minimalist design, and pops of color from the yellow second hand and red dot at the date window.
Timex Expedition Scout (Around 2.1 Million VND)
Timex never fails to surprise with their budget-friendly yet reliable watches. The Expedition Scout has a casual, timeless appeal, making it versatile enough to match any outfit.
VOID VO3D (Around 5 Million VND)
You might not be familiar with this Swedish brand, but VOID is making waves with its clean and striking designs. The VO3D is their standout piece. I’ve been invited to review this line, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it to share an in-depth review with you all.
Swatch Destination NYC (Around 4.2 Million VND)
A classic chronograph offering from Swatch, one of the most affordable Swiss brands out there. The NYC model embodies the boldness of chronograph design with its sleek steel casing.
Larsson & Jennings Kulor (Almost 7 Million VND)
A collaboration between Stockholm and London, Larsson & Jennings is a strong competitor to Daniel Wellington. The Kulor line epitomizes minimalist style - simple, timeless, and absolutely captivating.
Christopher Ward C5 Malvern (7 Million VND)
This boutique British brand was founded on the idea of offering luxury and value. Ten years in, they’ve succeeded. The C5 Malvern uses a Swiss movement and boasts a refined, elegant look - perfect for the office professional.
Nixon Sentry (Over 4.3 Million VND)
While Nixon is often known for its bold, edgy designs aimed at younger audiences, the Sentry offers a more subdued aesthetic with its minimalist face, quality leather strap, and a variety of color options.
Tsovet (Around 5.6 Million VND)
Despite the Soviet-sounding name, Tsovet is a California-based brand inspired by aviation and surfing. Originally priced at around 5.6 million VND, the brand is currently offering some models at a discount, making it an even more attractive option.
Mondaine Evo Day-Date (Around 5.6 Million VND)
The iconic design of Swiss train station clocks is perfectly captured by Mondaine in their watches. The Evo Day-Date is particularly striking with its bold black hour markers and signature red second hand - a true conversation piece.
Triwa Dawn Klinga (Around 5.2 Million VND)
Another Swedish brand, Triwa brings 1940s-70s nostalgia into their designs. The Dawn Klinga’s ultra-thin 38mm frame is as durable as it is elegant, and the perforated leather strap, crafted in Sweden, adds a touch of distinction.
Shore Projects (Starting from 4 Million VND)
Shore Projects is a British brand that’s released three collections so far. Known for their minimalist aesthetic, their watches also offer interchangeable straps in various colors to help you make a statement.
