When it comes to men’s accessories or jewelry, we tend to take a less is more approach.  In fact, most days the extent of our jewelry is a wedding band and watch.  While we know that many of you aren’t going to be on the market for a wedding band anytime soon, a good looking watch is something you should always keep an eye out for.  There are tons of great timepieces on the market, but if you are on a budget we recommend the Timex 1600 ($195) available exclusively at J. Crew.

Named in honor of a big house in the middle of Washington, DC, the 1600 is inspired by the classic styles of those who have been fortunate enough to call 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. their home over the years.  The stainless steel case and “pale silver-white brushed metallic dial” are nicely complimented by a croc print leather band for a timeless look.  Of course, since it is a Timex, the 1600 is going to be able to stand up to daily wear and keep perfect time.  This battery powered watch is water resistant up to 50M and is a fantastic blend of classic looks paired with modern construction.
