Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Four – For the Dad Who Feels at Home in Nature

‘Lagoon Blue’ from Black Bay 54 conjures up images of a tropical place with white sand beaches and waves of azure ocean where the sun beams. A watch can change your perspective in addition to telling the time. Its 37mm case, “Lagoon Blue” sand-textured dial, mirror-polished bezel, and cosy five-link bracelet, when combined with its magically ideal proportions, transport the wearer to a hammock strung between two palm trees at the exact spot where sand and water meet.₹3,71,400

Slightly smaller at 37mm, the Fifty-Four is designed for comfort and vintage authenticity. It strips away any unnecessary elements, leaving only what’s essential: a black bezel, clean dial, and classic dive-watch DNA. It wears close to the wrist and is lightweight enough for outdoor activity while still maintaining a premium feel.

The MT5400 automatic movement provides 70 hours of power and anti-magnetic reliability. The rubber strap option features Tudor’s easy-adjust T-Fit clasp, making it perfect for on-the-move dads who value performance gear that looks sharp and feels seamless.

Franck Muller Vanguard Sfumato Slim – For the Dad Who Appreciates Art and Design

The Vanguard Sfumato Slim is inspired by Renaissance artwork. Sfumato, which translates to ‘vanished’ or ‘softened’ in Italian, is a technique utilised by famous artists to avoid sharp lines and instead use delicate gradations of colour and tone to give a feeling of depth and atmosphere. Like a vignette in a vintage movie, when the edges darken to draw the viewer’s attention inside, the dial’s diminishing tones encourage silent concentration and introspection.

This piece brings together the elegance of Swiss horology with the poetic soul of Italian art. Inspired by the Renaissance painting technique of sfumato, the dial presents a soft, gradient transition of color that draws the eye inward. With its tonneau-shaped case and ultra-slim profile, it offers a distinctive, curved form that hugs the wrist comfortably and adds a sculptural quality to any outfit.

Inside, the watch is powered by a manually wound mechanical movement, keeping the case as thin and sleek as possible. The curved sapphire crystal and hand-applied indices enhance the premium feel. The Vanguard Sfumato Slim is a conversation starter—a minimalist yet expressive piece for dads who value craftsmanship and aesthetic depth.
