Marked By Time: Our Team’s Most-Worn Watches Of 2025
If there’s one thing we firmly believe, it’s that the most meaningful watches aren’t always the newest, rarest, or most expensive ones. Often, they’re the watches that quietly accompany us through daily routines, milestones, and small personal victories. In 2025, our team’s wrists told very different stories—some deeply emotional, others purely practical, and a few sitting right at the intersection of tradition and modernity.
Here’s a closer look at the watches most worn by our team this year.
Ricardo – An 80s Omega Genève With Personal Meaning
For Ricardo Amaral, 2025 was marked by a watch that carries far more emotional value than monetary worth. His rectangular Omega Genève from the 1980s, gifted by his mother years ago, has become a constant companion. The hand-wound mechanical movement, housed in a steel case with a clean black dial, perfectly reflects his approach to watches: understated, versatile, and deeply personal.
What makes this Omega particularly special is its adaptability. It looks just as natural under a cuff at a formal event as it does paired with a casual outfit. While leather straps remain its natural habitat, a recently acquired aftermarket steel bracelet—visible in the photo—has given the watch a fresh, contemporary edge. The result is a winning combination that proves once again that vintage doesn’t mean outdated.
Bruno – A Seiko Kinetic That Just Keeps Going
While some watches carry emotional weight, others earn their place through sheer reliability. That’s exactly the case for Bruno. Not a watch enthusiast by nature—his real passion lies in cars—Bruno sees a watch primarily as a tool.
His choice is a Seiko Kinetic Arctura, powered by a quartz movement and purchased over 20 years ago with his very first salary. Though it no longer lives permanently on his wrist, it still gets worn regularly, continuing to perform without fuss.
Much like a dependable car that never lets you down, this Seiko has aged gracefully. The often-repeated phrase that Seiko is the Toyota of watches feels especially appropriate here—functional, durable, and built to last, just like Bruno’s approach to both watches and machines.
Nuno – Embracing Simplicity With the Casio F-91W
If Bruno’s Seiko represents long-term reliability, Nuno’s choice reflects a conscious return to simplicity. After years of rotating between two vintage heavyweights—a Omega Constellation and a Seamaster—Nuno decided to give them a well-deserved rest in 2025.
Instead, he went back to basics with the iconic Casio F-91W. As he’s been dedicating more time to physical activity, the watch’s practical features—particularly the stopwatch—have become genuinely useful. Lightweight, discreet, and worry-free, it’s a watch that fits seamlessly into an active routine.
Of course, there’s also the timeless appeal of its retro design. Decades after its introduction, the F-91W remains proof that honest functionality and good design never go out of style.
Duarte – Smart Today, Mechanical Tomorrow?
From the digital minimalism of the past to the connected watches of today, Duarte’s choice will surprise no one. As our resident tech guy, he relies on an Apple Watch—a natural extension of his connected lifestyle.
Health tracking, notifications, and daily productivity tools make it an indispensable part of his routine. That said, a subtle shift is underway. Slowly but surely, we’ve been introducing Duarte to the world of mechanical watches—the appeal of craftsmanship, the charm of imperfection, and the idea that not everything needs a screen.
We’re confident that the day he straps on his first mechanical watch isn’t far off. And yes, we’re doing everything we can to speed that process along.
Marta – A Milestone Marked by Timeless Elegance
Marta’s watch story in 2025 is one of change. Previously drawn to larger watches, she was recently gifted a 28 mm two-tone Tissot Classic Dream with Roman numerals to celebrate an important professional milestone.
Since then, it hasn’t left her wrist. Elegant, balanced, and refined, the watch won her over day after day. Beyond its personal significance, it also reflects a broader shift in the market—one where smaller, more elegant watches are increasingly embraced for their timeless proportions and understated presence.
In Marta’s case, the transition wasn’t just about size, but about discovering a new kind of confidence and elegance.
Ricardo Luwisch – A Rolex Datejust That Tells a Life Story
Closing our list is a true classic. Ricardo Luwisch wears a 36 mm steel Rolex Datejust with a white dial, a watch he acquired in 2004—an important year marking the birth of his eldest son, Vasco, and the moment he purchased his very first Rolex.
More than two decades later, the Datejust remains his go-to watch. Its design has barely aged, its proportions remain perfect, and its emotional value has only grown stronger with time.
It’s the kind of watch that quietly accompanies life’s biggest moments, never demanding attention, yet always present—exactly what a great watch should be.
Final Thoughts
Looking across our team’s wrists in 2025, one thing becomes clear: there’s no single “right” watch. From vintage Omegas and classic Rolexes to digital Casios and smartwatches, each piece reflects the personality, priorities, and life moments of its wearer.
And perhaps that’s the beauty of watches—they don’t just tell time, they tell stories.
