Watch expert Zayyar Win Thein, of vintage and pre-owned watch business Wynn & Thayne, shares his expertise on what timepiece to wear for your wedding.
For what is arguably one of the biggest days of your life most grooms focus on a good suit but not many grooms pay attention to what they’re wearing on their wrists.

The first consideration with a dress watch is that a leather strap configuration is more common instead of a bracelet. Leather straps are more discrete and easy to pair with other leather – for example, black leather oxfords or black leather patent shoes. Most appropriately, a dress watch strap will be in black leather crocodile, dark brown leather, or even dark navy leather. All are great options as long as you’ve correctly matched them with your shoes.

If leather straps really aren’t for you, then the Rolex Datejust would be a suitable partner for your wedding day. The combination of Rolex’s Jubilee bracelet and an 18k white gold fluted bezel result in a watch that suits even the most formal of occasions. With just the time and date, it makes for one of the simpler Rolex’s in their catalogue.

Finally, if all else fails the best watch you can wear is a family heirloom. As brides may wear dresses or jewellery passed down from previous generations, a handed-down watch makes sense. Being such a momentous day, especially for your loved ones, it’s a nice way to have them with you even if they’re not present.
