Felix ScholzFor the third instalment in our video series of the best watches of 2017, we’re talking about watches priced between $5000 and $10,000, including a versatile Omega, a couple of chronos and some more dressy options.

The Tudor Black Bay landscape got a little complicated this year with the addition of a chronograph to the family. And the extra detail isn’t just on the dial side — the movement, the result of a new partnership with Breitling, is quite interesting too. From $5690
Tag Heuer Autavia
Heritage Heuer fans rejoice! The Autavia was re-released in 2017, and in exceptionally fine form. The inverse panda dial, the distressed camel strap and, excitingly, powered by the revamped CH80 movement … From $6600
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date
Jaeger-LeCoultre had a banner year in 2017, thanks largely to their well-received Master Control trilogy. And while there are three options to choose from, we find it hard to go past the simplicity of the Master Control Date. $8300
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer
Omega’s do-everything Aqua Terra was dear to our hearts this year, a classically styled three-hander that offers just the right mix of flash and function. From $7250
Cartier Tank Américaine
Cartier’s mighty Tank turned 100 this year, and amidst the cake and streamers they released several new takes on their classic, including this Américaine, offered for the first time in steel. $8050
