Christopher Ward London, a new London based watch company, offers a variety of men's watches ranging from $250 to $600 USD. I have not had a chance to see any of these watches in person, but judging from the pictures, they appear to be a good value. Most models are offered in quartz, but they do offer a few in automatic. All CW watches use Swiss movements and come in a variety of colors. The only place to purchase one is on the CW website.

Certina DS Royal is a new gents' line inspired by the legendary DS 2 and DS 2 Chronolympic models of the 1970s, known for their indelible mark upon the industry thanks to their exceptional ruggedness and unique design. Revisited now three decades later in a fully updated form, the new DS Royal chronograph brings sporty elegance to stylish, classical realms of great exclusivity. Reincarnated into bold harmonies in angles and strict lines of daring design, this model playfully blends textures and shades with tremendous skill, in tones of polished or satin-finished surfaces in black or steel. The DS Royal can be worn with a maroon-colour watch strap for a more retro feeling, or with a matching steel bracelet for an uncompromisingly sporty personality.

Jacques Lemans recently introduced the Turnable Dualtime Chronograph that has two full size quartz movements. They are housed in a massive stainless steel case that can rotate 180 degrees and allows the wearer to view two different time zones on the fly. It comes with a leather strap and a mineral crystal. A sapphire crystal would have been nice, but JL likes to keep their prices down and the mineral crystal definitely helps with that. No word on price or availability, but I would expect it to be under $1000 and available before Christmas.

Certina who is part of the Swatch Group introduced the DS Furious line at Baselworld. The case is made of stainless steel with a satin finish and a black PVD-covered bezel. The watch is very sporty and looks great with carbon fiber on the dial. The chronograph pushers are PVD-covered and add to the overall sportiness. It comes with a steel or rubber strap and in at least two colors, black/orange (pictured after the jump) or black/blue (pictured above). I bet the black and blue dial will look great with the rubber strap.

Tissot will be introducing this new racing watch at Baselworld next week. The smallest chronograph disc is equipped with a three-armed indicator that looks like a steering wheel. It has a chronograph and tachometer function. The case is made of brushed and polished stainless steel. The watch is water-resistant to 100m, it comes with 3 dial options and 3 strap options. No word on price or availability, but it does have a quartz movement, so it should not be too expensive.

The 2007 Seiko Honda F1 Limited Edition Ultimate Kinetic Chrono. The five window layout, 9T82 Kinetic movement, steel and carbon fiber bracelet all make this Seiko stand out. F1 driver Jenson Burton wears this watch as one of Seiko's brand ambassadors. This particular watch is limited to only 750 pieces. A lot of people seem to sweat Honda so I am sure many followers will have to have this car related wristwatch. Just give me an Oris Williams F1 and I will be fine.
