The 36 Best Skeleton Watches In 2024

The skeleton watch or skeletonized watch is a style of timepiece that is almost exclusively the domain of watches with mechanical movements. The process of skeletonizing a watch is simple - in theory. By opening up the dial and caseback and stripping out some large areas of movement parts, the maker of a skeleton watch reveals the "bones" beneath the surface. In practical terms, skeletonizing a watch can be done minimally or it can be done to an extreme level, and in both case the result can often be polarizing. Whether you love or hate the style, skeleton watches are nearly always a reliable conversation starter among enthusiasts of mechanical wristwatches. To keep those conversations going, we've compiled this list of some of our favorite skeleton watches on the market today.

A limited edition classic dress watch with a dual time display, triple guilloche dial, and day/night indicator. Individually numbered to 500 pieces.

The dream of space. The hexagonal-shaped Cupola observatory nodule aboard the International Space Station (ISS) was launched in 2010 as part of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The expanse, view, and shape of the Cupola – added a new dimension to the sights that astronauts had. It's space-age, almost Star Wars-inspired shape has also become an iconic part of space and pop culture capturing imagery of the Earth and outer space from the naked eye like never before.

A modern, solid steel case protects the mechanical heart of this dual time zone machine. Individually numbered to 500 pieces.

The Halograph II Automatic features Xeric's innovative signature display and halo hands which float over the arcs to encircle the time. The inner arcs display the hours and the outer arcs display the minutes. The time can easily be read through the two halo hands. As the halo reaches the end of its track, a new halo appears on the opposite side, similar to a retrograde display.

Two secondary displays were integrated into the movement grille. The day/night window on the left displays your current position relative to the sun. The window on the right is a running second display. These features are printed on transparent discs for an unobstructed view of the large open balance wheel.

The Miyota 82S7's exposed balance wheel gives a glimpse into the mechanical engine that keeps track of time. The automatic rotor on the back winds the watch using the kinetic energy of your motion, which means the watch will stay perpetually wound when you wear it - no batteries are required.

The straps are made using premium, full-grain leather from Horween, one of the oldest continuously running tanneries in the United States.  The straps also feature a quick change springbar system allowing you to swap out different straps for every occasion.

To make each Halograph II Automatic as unique as you are, Xeric will be limiting each colorway to only 999 pieces. Each watch will be individually numbered.

The Xeric Regulator Automatic breaks down timekeeping into its purest form, separating the hours, minutes, and seconds into distinctly isolated functions.

To pull this off, Xeric turned to the mechanical regulator clocks of the 18th century, which were used when legibility was essential, and sometimes meant life or death. Railway conductors, mariners--and even Captain Cook on his voyages around the globe--relied on regulator clocks’ clear and simple way of time telling. Separating functions into isolated subdials allows the reader to see each hand clearly and distinctly.

In an impressive mechanical feat, the movement powers hours, minutes, and seconds on separate posts rather than one central pinion. The Regulator Automatic uses a high quality self-winding Miyota movement that Xeric customized with a uniquely designed and precisely balanced rotor.

Xeric is of the mindset that functional minimalism doesn’t equate to stark, boring design. The Regulator features raised and sunken elements to accentuate the simple timekeeping of each hand, while also giving you a glimpse into the automatic movement that powers the timepiece. A subtle AM/PM indicator ring is built into the 24-hour display, and a split display for the seconds adds a little Xeric DNA to the watch.

These handcrafted watches are made from the best materials. A sapphire crystal, American-sourced Horween leather, and an unparalleled design make the watch an incredible deal. These stunning time machines are individually numbered and limited to just 999 pieces per color.

A limited edition classic dress watch with a dual time display, triple guilloche dial, and day/night indicator. Individually numbered to 500 pieces.

The Loyalist Automatic features a first for Archetype - a big date and calendar complication. The dial is reminiscent of vintage timepieces with a convex domed shape, hand-applied indices and big date frame while the subdials display the current day of the week and current month. An embossed-croc leather strap with stainless steel traditional tang buckle complement the dial details and give the Loyalist a luxurious look.

The Halograph II Automatic features our innovative signature display and halo hands which float over the arcs to encircle the time. The inner arcs display the hours and the outer arcs display the minutes. The time can easily be read through the two halo hands. As the halo reaches the end of its track, a new halo appears on the opposite side, similar to a retrograde display.

One of our newest collections and the smaller cousin of our RIM Sport, the RIM GT is a sport chronograph watch with bite. Its muse is still the high-end supercar world, much like its predecessor, the RIM GT is designed for the fast lane.

The Peacock Pathfinder Tourbillon watch is inspired by the "Peacock" shape. The attractive hollow dial presents a symmetrical structure while integrating color and sportiness into the design. This timepiece is made of carbon fiber case, equipped with self-produced coaxial tourbillon movement "SL5003DT", manual winding, 42-hour power reserve.

The Halograph II Automatic features our innovative signature display and halo hands which float over the arcs to encircle the time. The inner arcs display the hours and the outer arcs display the minutes. The time can easily be read through the two halo hands.

The captivating construction of the Magellan Vision highlights the inner engineering and artistry of the movement framed and housed in a multi-layered dial dressed in luminous materials and oversized hour indexes that create an entirely new aesthetic that is dynamic and captivating. Armed and supplied with a secondary strap for a more compelling and versatile wear.

The Kuiper Belt is one of the largest structures in our solar system. It is comprised of bits of rock and ice, comets and dwarf planets. Pluto, which used to be regarded as a stand-alone planet, sits within the belt as a dwarf planet. Indeed, it is named after astronomer Gerard Kuiper, who published a scientific paper in 1951 that speculated about objects beyond Pluto. Astronomers think the icy objects of the Kuiper Belt are remnants from the formation of the solar system. The first spacecraft to enter the Kuiper Belt region was NASA’s Pioneer 10 spacecraft, when it crossed into the space beyond Neptune’s orbit in 1983. The first spacecraft to actually visit an object in the Kuiper Belt was NASA’s New Horizons, which flew by Pluto and its moons in July 2015, providing humankind’s first close-up look at one of the icy remnants of solar system formation. With cues to the formation of our solar system, the Kuiper Belt remains a target of space exploration and discovery for scientists.
