If you find yourself constantly checking your phone for the time and then getting lost in the scroll, a watch is a clever hack for cutting back on screen time —  and fashion insider-fave watch purveyor BREDA just released a fresh version of the Virgil, one of its most beloved styles. Revamped with a gorgeous leather strap, this is a mid-century-inspired watch that looks and feels so luxe, you’ll stare at it constantly (what phone?).

A Vintage-Inspired Timepiece For Elevating Your Daily Uniform

Devoted to creating accessible watches that look and feel like heritage pieces, BREDA has been spotted on fashion It-girls like Emily Ratajkowski. The brand offers a variety of styles, each stunning in their own right, but the Virgil collection has always been a standout. Starting with the initial Virgil (Tethered) line that tended towards minimalism, the brand’s latest version of the Virgil features a similarly simple design, this time with a lizard-embossed leather strap for a heightened nostalgic sensibility. From the vintage-inspired angular watch face plated in real 18-karat gold, to the stunning lacquered dial, this newly released version of the Virgil adds a sleek, modern element that’ll play well with virtually any aesthetic, regardless of gender. You’ll quickly be reaching for it as part of your daily dressing ritual.

A Virgil With An Exquisite Cobalt Lacquered Dial

The angular watch face in stunning cobalt is the secret to the vintage-meets-modern appeal of this version of the Virgil; it adds a sleek, modern element to the 16-millimeter embossed band that’ll play well with virtually any aesthetic, regardless of gender.

The Edgy Midnight Black Virgil

If you prefer style with some bite, choose the midnight black version shown here; the matching band and face add the perfect amount of edge. Featuring Japanese-made Miyota quartz movement, this is a watch that promises and delivers on dependability. And since it’s water-resistant, you won’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain, or the occasional spill; it’ll continue to provide reliable timekeeping along with that simple yet statement-making style.
