Fernando AldeaFather's Day is fast approaching, and as true collectors, we know that a watch is a great gift for a deserving dad. We also know that a watch isn't just any gift, especially for those on a tighter budget. That's why, at LOFT, we've selected five exceptional watches that will make this day an unforgettable celebration for your old man, without breaking the bank.
1 If your dad is a crazy guy who never stops looking for his next adventure, the Victorinox Swiss Army INOX Automatic is definitely the perfect companion. With a 43mm case made of the toughest stainless steel, this watch has stood out since its launch for its durability and super-functional aesthetic. The blue dial stands out with its vibrant, "nails of Paris" texture, further protected by a sapphire crystal that's resistant to all the abuse the average dad can give and receive. It offers exceptional legibility thanks to large triangular luminescent markers and matching hands. A date window at 4:30 completes the dial design and provides a basic complication for anyone who's lost.
This Victorinox features a Sellita Caliber SW200-1 automatic movement that guarantees precision and a 38-hour power reserve. It can be water-resistant to a very respectable 200 meters, making it perfect for any parenting challenge on land or water. Its bracelet is a solid piece of steel, designed to emphasize the watch's strength while remaining comfortable and secure. The Victorinox INOX is a cool, durable, and elegant watch, ideal for the adventurous dad who never forgets his sophisticated side.

This 45mm diver 's watch stands out for its turtle-shell design, which is why it's affectionately known as the "Ninja Turtle." The ninja aspect is born by adding a stealthy, dark style to its already distinctive figure. The matte black dial, set behind a durable Hardlex crystal (Seiko's proprietary material), offers excellent legibility thanks to its luminescent hour markers and hands in the brand's traditional code. The unidirectional bezel and screw-down crown complete the diving offering, ensuring proper use from a deep dive to a dip in the pool.
Inside ticks the Seiko Caliber 4R36 automatic movement, ensuring Japanese precision and a 41-hour power reserve—perfect for Duracell-bunny dads. Add to that water resistance up to 200 meters, and you have the ideal companion for any water activity. Its black silicone strap is highly durable, ultra-comfortable, and secure. This is a watch that's part of Seiko's gigantic "Turtle" collection, in a modern and stealthy version, a blend of functionality and style, perfect for a dad with webbed fingers.

With a 42mm case and bold styling, this watch pays homage to the football legend, combining Swiss precision with a dynamic design. The vibrant green dial and accents, along with the embossed black tachymeter bezel, create a striking contrast, just like the footballer who inspired TAG. A perfect watch for any dad who wants to stand out on the pitch or in the office. Add a chronograph and the CR7 logo, and you have a championship-winning sports watch.
For added security and to minimize maintenance, this chronograph is powered by a high-precision quartz movement, ideal for those dads who need to accurately measure both extra minutes of the match and the time remaining for their meat. It comes with two straps: one black rubber and a NATO strap in Cristiano Ronaldo's corporate colors. Water resistance is 200 meters, so it's also suitable for water sports, with or without a ball. The TAG Heuer Formula 1 CR7 inspires the same admiration as one of the world's greatest soccer players, and is perfect for the dad who believes that if he had continued playing, he would probably be better than Ronaldo.
