The year 2025 is the year to treat your loved ones to gifts that really mean something. If you’re struggling for inspiration straight after the festive period, we’re here to help. Take a look at these top watch gift picks for 2025, curated by our specialist team here at Jura Watches.

IWC Watch Portugieser Automatic 42 Dune IW501705

I love the bi-compax layout of the Portugieser watch from IWC Schaffhausen. It’s functional, clean and classic. If there’s someone on your gift list this year who likes the non-conventional dial layout, the IWC Portugieser Dune watch could be the purchase for you. The model, measuring a 42mm diameter, is crafted from stainless steel and boasts a beautiful, unusual dune-coloured dial with a power reserve located at 3 o’clock and a small seconds sub-dial balancing things out on the other side. The feuille-shaped hands in a rose gold-tone take centre stage on this model, completing an elegant look with a traditional black alligator leather band.

Breitling Watch Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 AB0147101A1X1

Breitling does a superb cockpit tool – the tough and ready Avenger. You don’t need to be a pilot to appreciate its bold and exceptionally resilient design, however. This model is built for all of life’s adventures with a broad 44mm stainless steel case geared for those looking for next-level functionality in a watch. The Avenger watch pairs a modern aviation style with superior performance, with its muted fawny dial and lashings of luminous material on the hands and hour markers. The Breitling Avenger is also equipped for underwater exploration, with a 300-meter water-resistant case that holds the Breitling 01 Manufacture movement safe at its core. To finish its military-inspired looks, Breitling has chosen a matching fawn-coloured calfskin leather strap.

TAG Heuer Watch Carrera Pink WBN2318.BA0001

Who said girls can’t enjoy the TAG Heuer Carrera watch? This line by sports watch specialist, TAG Heuer, may be associated with motorsport-mad collectors, but it’s also the place to go for a chic and elegant sporty look, especially if you’re a woman. This lady’s TAG Heuer Carrera watch in hot pink is sure to demand some attention. The intense pink of the display is balanced by rhodium-coated hands that have been faceted and polished, while the clasp on the model’s stainless steel bracelet is super sturdy for wearing every day of the week. The diamonds set into the dial at the 12-hour markers catch the light beautifully during the daytime, while at night the luminous material on the dial appliques promise legibility all night through. A glamorous yet sporty companion for those who like to embrace life in the moment.

Longines Watch Conquest Chronograph L3.835.4.32.9

The Conquest collection was Longines’ first series of watches to bear a name and has since evolved to offer a versatile selection of designs that blend contemporary elegance with sporty sophistication, like this Conquest watch - a pillar of excellence in the brand’s portfolio and a perfect timepiece for all facets of life. It features a luxurious champagne-coloured dial surrounded by a ceramic black tachymetric bezel for measuring speed based on distance. This stainless steel model is crafted from stainless steel and measures 42mm in diameter. Longines experts use an anti-glare piece of sapphire crystal glass for the front of the watch and a transparent caseback to admire the performance of an automatic calibre at work. The chronograph dials in this watch are punchy and contrast beautifully thanks to their rich black-filled centres, set against the shimmering tones of the dial. By far, one of the most stylish chronographs to receive as a gift in 2025.

Montblanc Watch 1858 Automatic Date 0 Oxygen MB133269

If there’s a loved one in your life who loves Montblanc, let the 1858 Automatic Date 0 Oxygen watch be the gift you surprise them with this year. The 41mm watch is a great talking point for two reasons. For starters, the model’s rich green dial evokes the emerald icebergs called “jade bergs” that one may encounter when exploring mountain glaciers around Mont Blanc. Secondly, the watch is completely devoid of oxygen, preventing oxidation and fogging. The Montblanc 1858 Automatic Date 0 Oxygen watch features a stainless steel bracelet that looks good with any attire, as well as a simple, pared-back dial featuring nothing but the essentials – a set of cathedral hands, a date window and an Arabic numeral hour track.

Doxa Watch SUB 300 Carbon Sea Emerald Nato 822.70.131.26-N

Speaking of green watches, take a look at one of DOXA’s recent dive watches – the Sub 300 Sea Emerald. It’s the first time DOXA has released a non-limited carbon watch. The case has a sleek black silhouette that echoes the popular shape of the Sub 300 and benefits the wrist with its lightweight composition and titanium elements, not to mention 300 meters of water resistance. The DOXA dive watch is a great deal for anyone who wants to trial a dive watch without breaking the bank. Inside the case, you even get a COSC-certified movement for guaranteed precision, plus a NATO strap in a matching green colour that adds a punchy finish to the wrist.

Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver Limited Edition PT6248-BRZ01-330-3

Any vintage watch fans on your gift list this year? Consider the Pontos S in a bronze case. Bronze is often a popular choice for divers since it’s also saltwater resistant. It also nods to an era where bronze equipment like breathing apparatus and helmets for underwater exploration were common practice. This special Pontos S Diver watch is a limited edition of 500 pieces worldwide, so it’s a great investment piece. This is a 42mm model that may wear slightly larger thanks to its prominent push-piece at 2 o’clock for operating a quirky internal bezel. This dive watch looks classic enough to pair with a suit or something more formal in the evening, yet its brushed bronze case melds effortlessly onto a brown leather strap bearing the Maurice Lacroix “M" logo as a token of authenticity.

Chopard Watch Happy Sport Rose Gold 275378-5011

Of course, the Chopard Happy Sport watch had to make it to our list of best watch gifts for 2025, since it doubles up as a piece of jewellery too. Perfect for ladies who like their wristwatches to feel luxurious and glamorous, this Happy Sport watch brings a splash of colour to the wrist with its exquisite take on the Dancing Diamonds concept. Here round brilliant-cut diamonds are combined with rubies to create a captivating display of brilliance and colour. The stones are held in between two pieces of sapphire crystal to give the impression they are floating above the surface of the dial. This 33mm lady’s Chopard watch is crafted from ethically sourced 18ct rose gold and completes its opulent look on a red alligator leather strap.
