Then the "Classima 10382" by Swiss watchmaker Baume et Mercier is an ideal candidate for your old fraternity brothers, and not only that, it's priced at a reasonable $1,190. While it is available in a handful of colors, the stainless steel version with the blue satin-fi nished dial will go perfectly with the gowns being worn by the bridal party, and that will not only show your future wife that you took the time to notice all her hard work, but if you also gift one to her dad, you may fi nally get on his good side. Maybe. We make no promises. Baume-et-Mercier.com $2,000 to $3,500 For something sporty that won't break the bank, you might want to consider giving your groomsmen the Hamilton X-Wind Auto Chrono. While they likely won't wear it on the day of your wedding, if they're adventurous like you this a watch they'll put to the test long after the nuptials are over. This 45mm diameter watch contains the H-21 caliber automatic movement, has double anti-refl ective coating, and a pretty rocking black leather strap. It's most certainly a watch for a "man's man," and at $2,195, it allows the giver of the gift to say thank you to his pals without needing to sell his blood or even that kidney he was hoping to not have to give up just yet. HamiltonWatch.com $3,500 to $5,000 If the event space is paid off and you happen to fi nd yourself with a bit of extra cash ($4,900 extra, to be exact), then you might want to consider giving your closest childhood bud a watch that will make you the envy of every groom who came before you. The 2017 Omega "Railmaster" (or, technically, the Ome- ga Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial Master Chronom- eter Railmaster, but we'll just call it the "Railmaster" for short) can resist magnetic fi elds of up to 15,000 Gauss, which will totally come in handy should you be asked to become a member of The Guardians of the Galaxy like your best friend Joey told you would happen when the two of you were six and hang- ing out in the above-ground pool in his front yard. But wait! There's more! The Railmaster is also water resistant up to 150 meters, so just in case grown-up Joey has tee many martoonis at your bachelor party, you can be comforted knowing that the watch will survive a potential skinny dip in your small southern city's historical public fountain.
