Affordable Automatic Watches: Reef Tiger Men's Tourbillon with Convex Lens

Reef Tiger Men's Tourbillon Automatic with Convex Lens

Reef Tiger has a very special looking men's watch with mechanical movement.  They call it a casual watch, but it's a beauty.  Built around the Seiko NH39 automatic movement with windows revealing the movement and a transparent caseback, the Reef Tiger has what they bill as a convex lens, but which looks a domed crystal to me.

 Check out the profile pictures on Amazon to see the side view.  The watch is a sensible 40 millimeters in diameter and has a steel case, a sapphire crystal, and calfskin leather strap.  It offers water resistance of 50 meters.  A subdial shows the 24 hour time.  You can find this Reef Tiger watch with a blue dial on Amazon. 

As luxurious as this watch looks, the price point seems quite reasonable for a quality automatic watch.  Reef Tiger is a brand I've been following for awhile.  They have some great looking watches.  This one looks like a great Christmas gift for any man who appreciates a fine watch.

[Amazingly, as of August 2025, the Reef Tiger Tourbillon is still available on Amazon in three different color combinations. Reviews are mixed with some good and one quite bad. If you're intrigued, this Reef Tiger is swimming here on Amazon.]

 

New Watch Brands: Reef Tiger watches

I recently discovered yet another exciting watch brand on Amazon.com:  Reef Tiger.  They make some really nice looking watches and, to use 80s vernacular, they have a killer name.

It looks like most Reef Tiger watches are priced in the normal person luxury watch sweet spot between $125 and $400.  Unlike many premium brands for normal people, Reef Tiger watches don't totally go overboard with styling gimmicks.  While they have some creative styles, Reef Tiger watches offer a plethora of styles that appeal to men with classic fashion sense and an appreciation for remorseless underwater killing machines.  That's most of us!

The Reef Tiger Super Luminous Automatic Dive watch with nylon strap shown to the left sits at the top of the Reef Tiger food chain.  It has a reliable Seiko automatic movement and offers 200 meters (660 feet) of water resistance.  The watch has a stainless steel case with beautiful caseback etching and a luxurious deployment buckle.  

It's a great looking timepiece that's worth checking out on Amazon.
