Black automatic watches

A black dial is never just 'black'. Depending on the finish, its character changes completely: lacquered black reflects the light and makes the watch dressy, matte or sunburst black stays sober and sporty, and a sunburst black draws a gradient that comes alive on the wrist. On our models, the markers and hands are treated to stand out clearly against the dark background, with a luminous material taking over in the dark. If you own only one automatic watch, this is the colour that forgives everything.

26 models in this selection, from CHF 249.-, all built on a genuine Seiko automatic movement with sapphire crystal and 316L steel. To go further, read our buying guides.
