Mesh bracelets date back to the 19th century and were first created in the city of Milan, Italy; which is why they are also called Milanese bracelets. They are different from their more common link-style counterparts, since they are made of tiny, interlinking metal rings that bring to mind the chainmail used in medieval times. Today, mesh bracelets are used in various watch designs, from the modern to the retro-inspired. If you want to add a mesh watch to your collection, you can start with these affordable fashion timepieces.
Tommy Hilfiger 1790877
The Tommy Hilfiger 1790877 is a quartz-powered sport watch that pairs a stainless steel case and bracelet, with a black dial. In addition to its attractive design, it also boasts of several capabilities. Aside from telling time, it is also fitted with day and date complications as well as a secondary time display. These are shown by two sub-dials that indicate the date of the month and the day of the week; and a third sub-dial that shows the time in a 24-hour format. Moreover, it is water resistant to 50 meters.
Akribos XXIV AK813BK
The sleek, all-black color scheme of the Akribos AK813BK is made more elegant by the black mesh bracelet. The stainless steel case houses the engine that allows precise timekeeping; a Swiss quartz chronograph movement that provides split time and double calendar functions. These capabilities are demonstrated by the 2 timer sub-dials, the date sub-dial and the date window found on the watch face. Also shown on the analog display are the Roman numerals and baton-shaped indices that serve as the hour marks, as well as the luminous hands. Printed in the inner concave ring is a tachymeter scale. With a water resistance of up to 10 meters, the watch can withstand moisture from accidental splashes.
Skagen SKW6053
Skagen is one of the watch brands that use the mesh bracelet in many of its timepieces, just as the bracelet is used on the SKW6053. Strikingly elegant, it pairs a black strap with a round, stainless steel case that surrounds a black dial. The expansive dial, which is protected by a durable mineral crystal lens, presents a minimalist layout. Displayed on it are white, baton-shaped indices that mark the hours, matching the color of the hour and minute hands, as well as the red-tipped second hand. At the 6 o’clock position, a circular opening shows the date.
SO&CO New York 5006.1
With the SO&CO New York 5006.1, a stainless steel bracelet with a fold-over clasp is attached to a round, 44-millimeter alloy case that is topped by a black dial. Displayed on the dial are silver tone hour markers and white minute indices. The central hands, which register time using a quartz movement, also have a silver hue. Having calendar and dual time display functions, 2 sub-dials indicate the day and date, while a third shows the time in 24-hour mode. Since the watch is water resistant to 100 meters, you can wear it while swimming and showering.
Kenneth Cole KC9176
The edgy styling of the Kenneth Cole KC9176 artistically combines light and dark. A gunmetal tone ion-plated steel case and mesh bracelet provide the perfect setting to highlight the analog display with a see-thru outer dial. Adding more grey to the watch façade is the inner dial that contains the silver tone-outlined luminous hands and the time indices. This timepiece is powered by a quartz movement and is water resistant to 50 meters.
Stuhrling 747M.01
This timepiece exudes a traditional feel due to the mesh bracelet, blue Breguet-style hands and the Roman numeral hour markers. However, it also displays a hint of the contemporary with its skeleton dial. Apart from its innovative design, the Stuhrling 747M.01 is highly functional, making use of an automatic self-wind movement for precise timekeeping. It is also durably constructed, having a case and bezel made of stainless steel while a scratch-resistant hardlex crystal protects the dial. In addition, it is water resistant to 50 meters.
Timex T2P5199J
This stylish watch features a stainless steel mesh bracelet and a silver tone case made of brass. The textured black dial, which is enclosed by a mineral crystal display window, exhibits applied Roman numeral and baton-shaped hour markers, and central hands in white and silver tone. A date indicator sits at the 3 o’clock position. Surrounding the dial is a stationary bezel that is also made of brass. Like most Timex-made watches, the T2P5199J is equipped with an Indiglo Night Light.
