Square silver watches that really stand out

Looking for a square silver watch that truly stands out? Then Urban Ace is the place for you. In a world full of round watches, the modern man consciously chooses something different: the clean lines and symmetry of square silver watches . These distinctive watches aren't just watches; they're delightfully different. Like a Rivella, so to speak.

The appeal of square silver watches is undeniable. While round watches often disappear into the crowd, a square case stands out with its architectural appeal and modern design. At Urban Ace, we embody this in our popular Apex collection – watches that are both timeless and contemporary.

A square watch is just a little bit different. Just like the drink 'Rivella' – "A little strange, but delicious."

The irresistible appeal of square silver watches

Let's be honest: a square silver watch is a choice for daredevils... people with courage. While 90% of all watches have a round case, you consciously choose differently. And for good reason, of course.

A watch tells a story. With a square silver model, you tell a story of character, courage to be different, and you show that you have refined taste!

Square silver watches in the fashion world | History & trends

Square watches are the rebellious choice of the watch world, and that's precisely what makes them so appealing. From the iconic designs of the 1970s (the year the first square watches were released) to the ultra-modern watches of today, square silver watches have always held a special place in the hearts of style-conscious men.

Fashion comes and goes, but style is eternal. Square silver watches perfectly embody that philosophy; they are distinctive without being timeless.

The history of square watches

The story begins in the early 20th century, when watchmakers experimented with alternative designs. The real breakthrough came in the 1970s, when square watches became symbols of modernity and forward-thinking. Think of icons like the Cartier Santos or the legendary Seiko models from that era.

Why Silver Is the Ultimate Choice

Silver is definitely the safest choice. But it's one you won't regret. Not flashy, but striking enough to draw positive comments about that watch on your wrist. Silver watches have a unique quality: they're chameleons in the world of accessories. They harmonize with other colors without clashing, contrast beautifully with black, and add warmth to cool tones. For modern men who value versatility, silver is the ultimate color choice.

Buying tips: What should you pay attention to with square silver watches?

Buying a square silver watch is an investment. Here are the key factors to consider to make the perfect choice.

Material & quality

  • 316L Stainless Steel: The gold standard for durability and shine
  • Water resistance: Minimum 5 ATM for daily use
  • Movement: Quartz for precision and reliability

Size & fit

Case size: For most men, 38-42mm is ideal. Too small and the watch disappears, too big and it becomes flashy. The Apex fits perfectly in this category!

Wrist size: Measure your wrist and allow 1 to 2 cm for a comfortable fit.

Dial Color Choice

  • White/Silver: Most versatile, goes with everything
  • Gray: Modern, minimalist look
  • Green: Trendy and natural, perfect for casual days
  • Turquoise: A statement color for the confident man, it really stands out!

Urban Ace - quality promise
