23 Best Purple Watches at all Price-Points

Purple may not be the first color that comes to mind when you think of classicly styled watches. Purple can be loud and jarring, which is not a bad thing when it comes to making a statement with your timepiece, but might not be the most popular stylistically. However, we feel that it brings some flair and a fun bold look. It also works well on a variety of styles from field watches to high-end fashion pieces that you can dress it down or up. You can find a little bit of each on this list we put together of our 23 favorite purple watches - Whether it’s purple in dials, straps, or full cases… There’s a style for everyone.

Price: N/A; Case Size: 36mm; Water Resistance: 50m; Movement: Manual; Crystal: Sapphire.

anOrdain is a microbrand based out of Glasgow, UK that has developed a beautiful style with their fumé dials. A technique that is usually not well executed in house outside of some brands within Japan and Switzerland. Therefore, it is a point that anOrdain prides themselves on that has brought them lots of popularity. So much so that waitlists for an anOrdain timepiece can be anywhere from a year or more. The fumé finish on the silver dial adds a unique and fun effect. This makes each dial different and each color variation a cool texture and hue. The purple fumé has the look of a pebble like pattern.
