Zip Watches

This is a striking watch for the man who wants a stylish designer piece but doesn’t want to give up the utility of a fully-functional sports watch.

The style is all Dolce and Gabbana. The genuine leather band matches the deep black watch face perfectly. The understated monochrome look of the watch retains that masculine and stylish feel. And the polished stainless steel case gives it just a hint of sparkle.

As far as features go, this watch sports three subdials for standard chronograph functionality, is water resistant to 150 feet and the crystal is hardened mineral glass.

The D&G branding is not too prominent — just the moderately-sized logo at the twelve o’clock position, and the subtle engravings on the side buttons.

This is a nice complement to the other Tanzanite watch we’ve reviewed today. This is a much smaller watch than that one, and has a more elegant look.

Also check out this watch for an even dressier look.

This watch is another from Lucien Piccard to feature and emphasize the natural beauty of Tanzanite gemstones. Watches featuring this gemstone are not made that often, so you wont’ find too many models available.

The rectangular watch face seems to blend into the purple genuine leather strap, but for the showstopper gemstones surrounding the bezel.

The understated light lavender dial with undersized numbers strives to not detract from the stones. I think you’ll agree it does its job.

This watch is water resistant to 100 feet, so it’s not the best choice for water activities.

A playful, but elegant Tanzanite watch from Lucien Piccard. See the other watch we’ve reviewed today for a slightly more upscale look. Or this Tanzanite watch for more of a dress watch.

This watch features oversized numerals in varying sizes against a shimmering, multi-colored mother-of-pearl face that brings out the Tanzanite’s purple-blue beauty.

The elegant band is a matching genuine purple leather.

The movement is an accurate swiss quartz. You’d expect nothing less from a watchmaker like Lucien Piccard.

This watch is water resistant to 100 feet. So it’s probably not the best choice for swimming, diving, etc.

The protective crystal is made of a scratch-resistant Mineral Glass.

One thing to note about this watch — it is fairly large. The entire watch face, including the Tanzanite bands measures 34 millimeters across. Not huge, but you should be aware that it’s on the large side.

The red face on this watch will help you avoid a red face when you show it off to your friends. Okay, that was dumb. But it’s really a sharp looking watch that will stand out in a crowd.

The red dial features silver-tone markers and luminous hour and minute hands. The smooth-movement sweeping second hand does not glow in the dark, is thin and black.

The case, band and bezel are all a brushed stainless steel, giving it that look of a classic men’s watch.

It is moisture proof to 330 feet. So you can rest assured when taking it swimming, snorkeling, etc.

The movement type is Quartz. The crystal is etched with the four major hour markers.

Inspired by the movie “The Graduate”, or maybe just intended for the graduation, this is a classy watch with retro styling.

What stands out about this watch is the yellow watch face and contrasting bright blue second hand. If that doesn’t say retro, I don’t know what does.

The case is made of an understated elegant Stainless Steel as is the bezel and crown.

The classy bracelet is made of attractive custom-stitched geunine leather and is quite wide for a watch like this.

Though it’s clearly not intended for diving, this watch is waterproof to 300 feet. Because of this, it would be an appropriate option for swimming, snorkeling and other water activities.

The movement is Japanese Quartz, while the glass is scratch-resistant Mineral Glass.
