Davidoff Watches

Davidoff Watches

Yes, that Davidoff.

The name you know from cigars and leather goods also dipped into Swiss watches — and while they never became a collector darling, the brand left

behind a handful of clean, well-built pieces that surprise you when you handle them in the metal.

This is lifestyle luxury done with just enough Swiss substance to keep it interesting — especially on the secondary market.

A Little History

Davidoff, best known as a luxury cigar brand, expanded into watches in the mid-2000s as part of a broader lifestyle push. Think colognes,

accessories, and timepieces — all carrying the Davidoff name, with a focus on refined taste and understated design.

The watches were Swiss-made, often using ETA or Sellita movements, and positioned as everyday luxury — not haute horology, but also not fashion-

brand filler. Designs leaned dressy, with the occasional sport or travel influence.

They never tried to become a watchmaking powerhouse. But what they did release? Quietly competent — and now quietly collectible.

What Collectors Love

The appeal of Davidoff watches is all about understated luxury. These aren’t tool watches or hype pieces. They’re well-made, cleanly designed Swiss

watches that feel like they belong next to a travel humidor and a double old-fashioned.

Popular models include:

  • Very Zino — the flagship collection, named after Zino Davidoff himself. Rounded cases, open dials, and tasteful proportions.

  • GMT and dual time pieces — elegant traveler-focused watches with subtle complications and good legibility.

  • Dress chronographs — often with recessed subdials, applied indices, and sharp case work.

Case sizes tended to hover in the 41–43mm range, often with curved lugs and leather straps. Dials were clean, elegant, sometimes textured or

sunburst, and always easy to wear.

Why Davidoff Watches Still Have Appeal

Because sometimes, you want understated Swiss luxury without paying for a marketing machine.

These watches were built with care — sapphire crystals, signed crowns, quality straps, and proven Swiss movements — but they were never mass-

produced or aggressively hyped. Which means today, they fly under the radar… and trade for far less than they’re worth.

If you’re a cigar guy, a travel guy, or just someone who appreciates quality without flash, a Davidoff watch makes perfect sense.

What’s Out There Now

Davidoff quietly stepped away from the watch market by the early 2010s, so everything you’ll find today is pre-owned — but well-aged.

The Very Zino collection remains the most available, with:

  • Automatic time-only models

  • GMTs and power reserve variants

  • Occasional chronographs or small seconds layouts

Most were produced in stainless steel, with the occasional gold-tone or two-tone edition. Dials are often the highlight — subtle texture, applied

indices, and well-balanced layouts.

Fed’s Take

I’ve seen a few Davidoff watches come through Delray, and I’ll be honest — they surprised me.

The cases were sharp. The movements were solid. And the whole package just… worked. Not groundbreaking, but refined. The kind of watch you wear

to dinner at a quiet club, not to flex on Instagram.

They’re not for everyone — and that’s why they’re still interesting.
