At least in my experience, there’s no finishing touch quite as useful, as eye-catching or as game-changing as the right wristwatch. As you well know from reading this Brooklyn style blog, properly finishing off your latest #OOTD with one of the best watches for men is a purposeful, stylish touch that goes beyond simply using your phone to check the time, and companies like fan-favorite Shinola understand this all too well, in the very best way possible.

One of the best men’s watches adds casually rugged style or else a touch of refinement to a look, it’s a further step in showing your attention to detail, and heck, it’s just plain fun, at least in my book, to rock one of the best men’s watches.

And the great thing is, brands like Detroit-based lifestyle brand and watchmaker Shinola make it relatively easy to get into the game, if you’ve not normally worn a watch or tend to go for a tried-and-true classic from a company like Timex (also one of the best affordable watchmakers for men, it should be said). But back to Shinola: The company looked to some of the earliest American watches to design its Art Deco-tinged Shinola Runwell Watch, its flagship model that’s now offered in a variety of crisp dial combinations plus leather, rubber or stainless steel straps.

Past Shinola reviews on this blog have dove into the utility and style points picked up by carrying an effortlessly cool Shinola Runwell Watch — it should be noted that although its watches are assembled in Detroit, they use Swiss parts, like a high-quality Argonite quartz movement (although Shinola has also expanded into automatic movements in recent years).

But the handsome Shinola Runwell Watch now has another counterpart in the brand’s lineup, the Shinola Runwell West Wind Chronograph, a worthy complementary piece and a more expensive, retooled version of the famed Shinola Runwell Watch.

With an impressive 660 feet of water resistance (and plenty of capability to take on a simple ocean dip or pool swim), the Shinola Runwell West Wind Chronograph might represent the brand’s most daring and dashing adventure watch to date, although the Shinola Monster lineup boasts plenty of rugged utility. But when it comes to the Shinola Runwell West Wind Chronograph, you’re getting a nicely sized 42mm titanium adventure watch complete with a titanium strap or a crisp blue rubber strap option, plus added details like screw-down pushers and a screw-down crown to keep things watertight.

To bolster visibility, the brand finished off the vivid blue dial with multi-layer C3 lum indexes for high contrast in low light (cave diving, anyone?), while the Shinola Runwell West Wind Chronograph also boasts useful details like a 6-o’clock double date window, plus triple-chronograph utility (be sure to read up on Shinola’s suggestions for getting the most out of your Shinola Runwell West Wind Chronograph).

As we talked about earlier, the latest chronograph to join the Shinola lineup doesn’t come cheap: It clocks in at about $1,495, but it’s the sort of adventure watch you can dress up slightly (try it with a navy blazer, an Oxford shirt and rust-toned five-pocket pants) or style casually and simply with chino shorts and a pocket tee after a day on the water). For a handsome blend of rugged style and real-world utility, you very well might want the new Shinola chronograph watch on your wrist this season.
