My Nephew turns 21 next weekend.

Have been tasked to buy a watch for him to mark the occasion. Hopefully something that may kick start a long term interest in watches for him.



Criteria:
Budget must be no more than £200. No 'Man Maths' budget creep on this one.
Automatic Preferred
Steel or leather strap. No preference.


He is studying Chemistry at university, so a watch with a possible Scientific link would be a bonus.
He usually wears a black PVD Armani Quartz Chronograph of some sort at the moment.
Not much to write home about.

I would like to get a watch from a known watch manufacturer/brand...
A sort of 'proper' starter watch.


I have been through a few of the usual suspect websites (Jura/Goldsmiths/Beaverbrooks etc), but am struggling to find inspiration.

Thought I would ask for a little help on this one...

Thanks in advance

Thank you everyone for your help. Very useful info and a good selection of watches.

Went for this Seiko Divers Pepsi style in the end. Hopefully he likes it! Fingers crossed...
