Are you looking for a luxury watch on a budget? Here at Banks Lyon, we have plenty of timepieces in our extensive collection to suit a range of budgets, no matter how big or small. So, today we’re exploring just how far your money can go with a blog dedicated to our favourite luxury watches for under £1000; read on to find your next budget timepiece.
What Defines a Luxury Watch?
Several characteristics help to define a luxury watch, for example:
- Brand heritage and prestige. Luxury watches are often manufactured by brands with a long history and reputation for excellence, such as OMEGA watches.
- High-quality materials. They are typically made with gold, platinum, diamonds, and other precious stones and may also feature exotic materials, such as carbon fibre or ceramic.
- Limited production. Some watches are only produced in limited quantities, which adds to their exclusivity and rarity, making them more luxurious for some people.
- Price. Luxury watches are often expensive, with price tags in the thousands up to millions of pounds. However, this isn’t always the case, which is what we’re exploring in today’s blog.
Why Luxury Watches Don’t Have to Be Expensive
Luxury watches don’t have to be expensive if you’re willing to do some research. With careful consideration of materials, production methods, and retail channels, finding a luxury watch that fits your style and budget is possible. Here are some factors to consider when looking for a luxury watch with a smaller price tag:
- Material selection. While high-end materials like gold and platinum can certainly add to the cost of a luxury watch, many other materials can be just as beautiful and durable without having the same price. For example, stainless steel is a popular choice for luxury watchmakers and is often used in some of their most iconic designs.
- Production volume. Luxury watches are often produced in limited quantities, which can drive up the price due to their exclusivity. However, some luxury watch brands have streamlined production processes while maintaining exceptional quality. This can allow them to offer their watches at a more affordable price point.
- Pre-owned bargains. We offer pre-owned watches that have been carefully inspected and restored, allowing you to own a high-end timepiece at a fraction of the original cost.

Longines are famous for manufacturing elegant and luxurious timepieces for a range of different budgets. For example, this is the Longines Conquest Quartz 41mm Watch (below, left) from the luxury watch retailer and is available for £800 or just £6.66 per month on 0% finance.
