Best Earth Tone Watches in 2025
A look back at five key earth tone watches this year, reviewed from the perspectives of design, wearability, and function.
1 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds
The rose gold version of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds is one of the key Earth tone watches of 2025. The rose gold case paired with a matching dial creates a warm yet understated appeal, complemented by a Milanese metal bracelet that feels both vintage and refined. The small seconds at 6 o’clock is well balanced, continuing the Reverso’s signature rational and symmetrical design language. For professionals in Hong Kong or daily formal wear, this rose gold watch offers practicality and versatility.
2 Patek Philippe Calatrava 6196P-001
When it comes to Earth tone dress watches, the Patek Philippe Calatrava is not to be overlooked. The 6196P-001 features a platinum case paired with an opaline rose-gold-toned dial, resulting in a soft, nuanced colour palette that perfectly reflects the natural, understated qualities of Earth tones. The 38mm case size aligns with the current preference for mid-sized watches, while the small seconds layout is clean and legible. Rather than chasing immediate buzz, this watch stands out through balanced proportions and enduring colour, ideal for collectors who value long-term appeal.
3 A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Honeygold
Earth tone on a sports watch? The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Honeygold is one of the defining models of 2025. Lange’s proprietary Honeygold sits between rose gold and white gold in tone, paired with a brown dial for a composed and mature overall look. The 40.5mm case and metal bracelet remain comfortable on the wrist, without feeling overly heavy. For those seeking a high-end sports watch that balances performance with aesthetics, this limited-edition Odysseus serves as a strong benchmark.
4 Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence
The Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence takes a different approach. A soft gold case combined with a window-style display gives the watch a more vintage character. Time is shown via rotating discs rather than a traditional jumping display, offering an intuitive reading experience. With a 37mm case and just 8mm in thickness, it wears lightly and elegantly, perfect for everyday city life. This type of Earth tone watch doesn’t rely on specifications, but instead appeals through design and proportion, attracting collectors who appreciate subtle, distinctive pieces.
5 Tudor Ranger “Dune White”
At a more accessible price point, the Tudor Ranger “Dune White” is one of the most practical Earth tone watches of 2025. The dial colour sits between off-white and sandy beige, paired with black markers and beige lume for excellent legibility. The new 36mm size follows the trend toward smaller case diameters, offering a lighter, more comfortable fit for both workdays and weekends. Understated Earth tone tool watches like this often prove more timeless and easier to style.
