·You can dress up a lot of watches with the right strap.
Can a Speedmaster be a proper dress watch?

·If a chronograph is made for working, I don't see it as a dress watch. Same with a diver, including Seamasters and Submariners.

·I don’t see any issues with wearing a Speedmaster as a dressy watch, especially when it’s on the right leather strap.

·I believe a good diver or chrono like the speedy can be used with any clothing - I do some black tie and don’t hesitate to use a Rolex/ Tudor diver or omega chrono with it.

·Yeah, I would not hesitate to wear my Speedmaster with a tux with in on a leather strap. Perhaps I'm gauche. But frankly I think that a Speedmaster on a strap is far dressier than a Submariner on a bracelet. So that whole chart from the first page is circumspect to me 😀

·1964 105.003 “Echo Whiskey” with church clothes for usher duty today...good times! 👍
LATE ENTRY: The reason that I don’t appear to be experiencing “good times” in the first pic below is because I was late for usher duty...I missed the memo regarding the change in service times for the summer schedule...therefore, my fault. For the record, I was NOT fired from the usher team for my tardiness. 👍
.... either way, well done on just making it your own 😉

·Of course you can wear your Speedmaster with your tuxedo. You can also take a Range Rover to a track day - that won't make it a race car though.

·I have no problem wearing my speedy as a dress watch. Fits nicely under the cuff, not an overly busy piece, no flashy tones, and most importantly...I love it!

·Just to clarify, I have no problem wearing it with whatever you see fit. I wore my FOIS to a lunch interview. To paraphrase the above, that doesn't make it a dress watch.

·Avoid the debate and get more watches to cover any occasion. I like and use formal watches and casual tool watches.

·Speedy on the leather looks good with anything! If some people are wearing subs with suits 🤮, sure enough you can wear a speedy!

·You ‘can’ do anything. Doesn’t make it correct. A Speedy on a strap may be a nice look, but that doesn’t make it a dress watch. A wise man once said: “Yes you can. You can also fart in a crowded elevator, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea...”

·my 2 cents. . speedies (even vintage) are just too big to be a dress watch although if you want to wear one with a suit--go for it! with a tux--absolutely not, this really must be a time only watch that will fit under shirt sleeves
that said, a 36mm vintage movado m90/m95 or a vintage patek or vintage daytona which are chronos but smaller size can be spectacular dress watches (but i still wouldn't wear them with a tux)
