Show your car watch

[Pereldh]

Well, almost nothing is as uniformally despised as car-branded watches - whether it's proper OEM accessories or the cheapest chinese hack.

Still, 1. I don't care and 2. This is PISTONHEADS

Decided to find the best watch for each of my cars, here are the corresponding ones.
Each are good enough to actually be everyday favourites.

(Uploading pics don't work very well)

OEM Bmw M quartz, 2015 ---- Z4M Coupe 2006
Great quality, seems indestructable



OEM Fiat Assessori quartz 2011 ---- Argenta 120ie 1985
Fun Rolex-spoof (by Lapo Elkann(Agnelli)), quality feel not great but it all works, very Fiat



OEM Alfa Romeo Assessori quartz chronograph 2014 ---- 75 3.0V6 1990
Rare but very nice, added a fitting very italian suede strap



Daniel JeanRichards Alfa Romeo, automatic 2005 ---- 75 3.0V6 1990
Very very nice automatic, classy with huge power reserve & accuracy.



Show me yours!

Another BMW M watch and car combo here.

M Chronograph from 2010. Quartz, made by Torneau I think, with a Ronda movement:


And my M3 saloon that I bought new, to my own spec - delivered in April 2009 and I still own it:



Currently I also have a Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 and a GR Yaris but don't have a car-related watch for either.
I do have this though - a Roue CHR 4 which is a limited edition homage to the Lamborghini Miura:

Really nice!
Nice combo too... Always loved the 4d E90 M3, badass.

And now you have to buy a Porc.

Had this for about 20 years now. Actually an official TVR Personal Possessions watch and not an eBay special. It has TVR etched on the buckled and on the rear of the case. Not worn it for years now though. Should get the battery sorted.

Slightly off piste . My car has a ‘ watch’ as a clock - a BRM , the somewhat expensive and colourful French watch company . The wrist watch version of this to match is over 5k new and A bit too out there for me .

I got this:



As a joke present to go alongside:

All from when I did some work with SEAT Sport.

Left one was a cheap "merch" watch, Yellow one is one of a set (the other one is red) it doesn't say SEAT Sport anywhere on the watch itself but the strap is branded and the box.

The TW Steel was a Netherlands only watch, not many of them available either, I wanted it, Tom Coronel managed to get one through his TW Steel contacts.

This is as close as I've ever gotten

Nice interesting watches keep em coming

Never thought of watches like this before, but then I have an affinity to anything with Casio/G-Shock/Edifice written on it. *goes to eBay*

[Cloudy147]

Here's mine! Its from ebay, its as cheap as you like. It broke within a few months of owning it, and the repair cost more than the watch (I wanted to fix not replace ). Still love it.



Its the wheel/dash of my Camaro!

Not a car watch. This beauty is an Aprilia Millie SP Exhaust watch no less. It came inside the box which contained the titanium SP exhaust cans I fitted to my Mille R in 2001. It’s horrendous & the quality is that of something that you’d get out of a Christmas cracker.

One of the few I like, always admired it as a child when it was on my dad's wrist.

[Pereldh]

Wow they're cool, quirky! Seen them on ebay actually, but this is your dad's actual watch?

Replied to Chunkychunky:

(Always a nice thing)

Apologies just seen this! Yeah he had a dealership (for the cars), when he wound it up this was left in stock owing to the price of it! Decided to keep it, that watch in the picture is now mine, just don't have the original box for it unfortunately. Nice black finish to the strap/case and always thought it was a great design

Kudos to the chap with the Porsche Design Orfina too, love those watches and wanted one until I got a Speedmaster Mk4.5, pretty much the same watch unfortunately

Bit of a lurker on the watch forums as i love watches but only have an old Constellation (my late dad’s) so nothing really to post but this made me think of this particular thread….
