Why We Love This Deal
One of the most versatile timepieces any guy could wear is a monochromatic, blacked-out watch. Watches like this can be read as either dressy or sporty, depending on the occasion and outfit. One to look at right now is Fossil’s 45mm Bennett. It's nearly 70% off over at Nordstrom Rack and is likely to sell out soon.
The Fossil 45mm Bennett Chronograph Leather Watch is now just $66 at Nordstrom Rack, with a 66% discount off its full price of $180. Fossil really nailed it with this all-black, and arguably, sexy look that can be worn to the office, on weekends, and even to the race track. If this watch does sell out, and it might, it's also available through the Fossil site directly, though it's only 50% off there.

While it’s not technically a 100% blacked-out watch, Fossil decided to add layers of contrasting tones, like a slick gunmetal case and light gray markings and hands. It blends perfectly with its black sunray dial and supple, black leather strap that adds a touch of class to what some would have otherwise considered an aggressive look. The case is water-resistant to about 50 meters, but you may want to swap out the leather strap before swimming. It uses a mineral case, has multifunctional subdials, and its 22mm strap width makes for easy swap-outs.
Fossil is an entry-level watch brand, but this Bennett model is the brand’s take on modern, everyday chronos, with a bigger, bolder, and more lifestyle-focused emphasis—unlike those chronographs of old, which favor a more minimalist look.
A black chrono on leather, just plain and simple, can do it all, from blazers and suits to chinos and Chelsea boots. This is why these styles tend to sell better than all-steel divers' overly loud sporty models. While it’s not a Swiss luxury piece by any means, it’s also not trying to be. It’s got just enough charisma to look good on a spec ops operator as it does Bruce Wayne.
