A watch gift for him: choose by his style
Updated:
A wristwatch is a gift for him that gets worn every day. To choose well, start from his style: a sporty diver, a clean classic or a dress watch for evenings. At ATÉRET you design an automatic watch with an NH35A movement, 39 mm case and sapphire crystal, choosing dial, hands and strap. Prices: ₪790 to ₪940.
Why a watch makes a good gift for him
Buying for men is hard. Many say they do not need anything, and clothes or fragrance are a gamble on taste. A watch is different: useful, worn daily, and one of the few accessories men choose with care. A good one lasts for years.
Many men especially value an automatic: no battery, a real mechanical movement inside, and a seconds hand that sweeps rather than ticks. What is an automatic watch?
By his taste: three styles
| Style | Suits | At ATÉRET |
|---|---|---|
| Diver (sporty) | Sea, hiking, outdoors; jeans and T-shirts; wants a watch with presence | Black or blue diver dial, glossy enamel or matte, Mercedes hands, fluted bezel case on a five-link bracelet |
| Classic (everyday) | Office, likes things simple and precise; one watch for everything | Silver-white or black sunburst dial, stick hands, smooth case on a three-link bracelet |
| Dress (evening) | Suits, events, clean minimal look | Black classic no-date dial on black or dark brown leather |
Not sure? The diver is the safest pick. It looks right with jeans and with a button-down shirt.
Small details that make the difference
- Dial colour. Blue feels fresh, black is always safe, white with gold-tone markers is warm and distinctive. A sunburst dial shifts with the light.
- Two-tone or steel. Two-tone, with a gold-tone bezel, crown and centre links, suits a man who likes a statement. All-steel is quieter.
- Bracelet or leather. Steel is comfortable in Israeli heat and easy to clean. Genuine leather in black, dark brown or blue adds warmth.
- Date. Most men like a date window; there is also a no-date dial, and some cases add a date magnifier.
Every term is explained in the glossary, and you can try every part in 3D in the builder.

What if I do not know his wrist size?
39 mm is a classic size that suits most men, including slimmer wrists. Bracelets are shortened by removing links and leather adjusts with the buckle. See the size guide.
