This Father’s Day, give more than just a gift! Give a piece that tells a story. Our 2025 guide brings together timeless watches and luxury accessories designed to reflect every dad’s personality and passion.
Father’s Day isn’t just another date on the calendar. This is a special day, a moment that takes us back to the stories we grew up with. For some, it can be a treasured memory of their dad simply winding his favourite watch before he heads out, or the quiet click of the crown that marks the everyday beat of life. For others, it may simply be the passed-down values, lessons, or even the treasured timepiece that has more sentimental value and meaning than the gears and metal ever could.
In 2025, gifting has become more about celebrating these special moments, rather than a simple gesture. The moments that shaped how we become. Watches are, after all, not just instruments that tell the time, but markers of special occasions, legacies, milestones, and style. They remind us whenever we look at them of the laughter we have shared over the years, the hard work that went on behind the scenes, and the time our fathers invested in us. Watches can be the perfect gift, because while they may be “materialistic”, they carry a much deeper meaning, one that he will wear often, with the constant reminder of the love behind it.
This year’s Father’s Day Gift Guide is about finding the perfect piece that suits his personality and style. I have carefully curated a list of timepieces unveiled this year that feature timeless designs, bold new looks that stand out beautifully, or watches that are purpose-made, for those fathers who love to adventure. If your dad isn’t looking to add another watch to the collection, then I’ve also included accessories that will pair perfectly with his existing one! This curation celebrates the watch-loving dad in every form! Because sometimes the greatest gift you can give is not just a watch, but the story it tells when it’s worn.
Bvlgari – Aluminium Chronograph Watch
Reference: 104234
Case Size: 41mm
Material: Sandblasted aluminium case
Australian RRP: AUD $8,400
For more information: Bvlgari.com.au
One of the latest drops from Bvlgari is this stunning blue Aluminium Chronograph Watch. When this collection was first launched in 1998, it was unlike anything the world had ever seen in watchmaking. Taking design cues from the brand’s iconic “Bvlgari” collection, the Aluminium Chronograph models featured a more sporty design, while still remaining elegant and visually captivating. This latest model stays true to the heritage of the collection, while now donning a deep blue look that gives the watch a more “playful” and sporty aesthetic, whilst still retaining that luxury factor.

Case Size: 42mm
Material: Microblasted and Polished Sky blue ceramic
Australian RRP: AUD $42,900

One of my favourite releases from LVMH Watch Week this year was Hublot’s updated Spirit of Big Bang models. The Swiss watchmaker introduced three new ceramic colourways: Sky Blue, Beige, and Dark Green. While the Beige and Dark Green have their own captivating and contrasting looks, it’s the Sky Blue model that made me fall in love with this latest collection. I was fortunate enough to have the models for review, and if I’m being brutally honest, I did not want to give them back! The Sky Blue ceramic is just incredibly stunning on the wrist and is one of those Father’s Day gifts that goes beyond simply being a watch. It’s a statement piece that deserves a place in any collection, a daily reminder of style and confidence!

Omega’s latest version of the Seamaster Diver 300M was created to celebrate the European summer, and for us Aussies, just a few short months in advance! While this version of the Seamaster Diver 300M keeps the 42mm case size and the aluminium bezel, the date wheel has been removed, while the wave pattern is now in a matte-textured black dial. The standout detail of this model is the orange details, which is displayed through the orange seconds hand, the borders of the rectangular hour indices and “Seamaster” inscription. This is one of those timepieces that perfectly balances luxury and “tool watch” functionality. With 300m of water resistance, this watch will accompany that adventure loving dad all the way from this diving trip to the boardroom. And with that stylish mesh bracelet, this Seamaster Diver 300M is every bit as good to wear as it is to look at, as can be seen on Chamath’s wrist below!

Case Size: 41mm
Material: Oystersteel
Australian RRP: AUD $11,300

Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual 41 collection is one of the purest expressions of the brand’s watchmaking DNA. Being stripped of complications, the main focus has been a timeless design, flawless finishing and the reliability of the Oyster case and perpetual movement. Just recently, Rolex unvieled a new biege colour, one that brought a fresh new modern look to the collection. We have been in love with the colour since it dropped, as not only does it look great on the wrist, its also incredibly versatile (as can be seen below Chamath’s 20 reasons for why it’s the hottest Osyter Perpetual colour yet!). With this model’s everday wearability and reliability, it makes for a fitting Father’s Day choice for the dad who values understated elegance.

Reference: 4600E/000R-H101
Case Size: 40mm
Material: Pink gold

For more information: Vacheron-constantin.com.au
Another elegant model that exudes luxury is Vacheron Constantin’s FiftySix model, this time in stunning pink gold. Vacheron Constantin’s FiftySix collection has a contemporary look that is mixed with retro design that is inspired by watches from the 1950s. What I personally love about this timepiece is how the deep black dial contrasts beautifully with the pink gold indices and hands, along with the white Superlumi-Nova. Pink gold and black is a timeless pairing, and in thi FiftySix, it strikes the perfect balance between classic sophistication and modern flair. It’s the kind of watch that feels just as fitting at a formal dinner as it does for daily wear, making it a truly versatile gift for Father’s Day.

Upgrading on the 2024 DEFY Extreme Diver, Zenith has released a micro-blasted titanium “Shadow” edition this year, bringing together vintage inspiration with bold contemporary design.
