Made from steel, white gold or platinum, white-metal watches make the case for simplicity of design. Framed here by photographer Clover Green – as featured in our December 2026 issue – are some we’ve taken a particular shine to this season.

White metal timepieces by Omega and Richard Mille come with timeless lines and little superfluous detailing. The latter’s RM 07-01 sees a white-gold tonneau-shaped case clash artfully with its black rubber strap. Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond, meanwhile, comes with a steel case and matching bracelet, and is the watchmaker’s latest nod to the British spy franchise.

Also in steel: the Aquaracer Professional 100 by TAG Heuer and the Iced Sea Automatic Date 0 Oxygen by Montblanc. A new model by IWC Schaffhausen, the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet Le Petit Prince, has a deep-blue-gradient sunray dial, paired with a steel crown.

Patek Philippe’s Twenty-4 has become a design classic since it was debuted in 1999. A design classic, too is the Oyster Perpetual 36 watch by Rolex, here photographed in Oystersteel.

For a new Santos de Cartier watch, the French maison details steel with warm yellow gold. And then, there is titanium: a lightweight silver-grey transition metal that has been used by Breguet to create the new Marine Chronograph 5527.
