Here we look at 10 men’s automatic watches that sell for less than $1,000. Sure, there are complex automatic watches with lots of bells and whistles, but you can get a perfectly good multi-function, multi-purpose watch with an automatic movement for some more affordable prices. But not every automatic mechanical watch is expensive. Often, though, when you think about buying a watch with a mechanical movement inside, especially one that is an automatic (self-winding thanks to the movement of the rotor that winds the watch while it is on the wrist), you see dollar signs adding up in your mind. Additionally, because a mechanical watch can last forever, it is almost considered sustainable – another important factor to today’s watch-collecting generation. Somehow there is just a certain allure to watch with a mechanical heart beating inside, versus a quartz chip and a circuit board.
Top brands, though, who had centuries of history in the time-honored craft were not about to let that happen. That’s great because in the 1980s during the “quartz crisis” people feared the art of mechanical watchmaking could die out. We see a lot of information on the internet these days about mechanical watches and how they are all the rage.
