Just curious if you feel this JLC Geophysic 1958 is a sport or dress watch? It is a piece that offers 100m water resistance, new ceramic bearings, state of the art shock resistance, etc. So in almost every way it feels very Explorer-like.

Thoughts?

I wouldn’t call it a dress watch but think it can be dressed up. I also wouldn’t call it a sports watch , but on a NATO it could have a sporty look to it .

It does exhibit traits of dressy & sport. Very versatile actually. Minus the sportier strap, I'd call it closer to dress than anything else. Beautiful btw!

All rounder !

Love that watch! Contemplated it many times. I’d say you’re correct it straddles the line.

Peterandwatches · 11 June 2019, 12:04 PM

Yep. Right down the line.

Slider817 · 11 June 2019, 12:49 PM

I like it! It’s a not a “Dress” watch, but with a different strap would work well with a suit. Not a pure sports watch, just a good all around watch.

Something in-between, you can dress that up or down depending on strap.

This.

Both

On a brown strap, casual

On a black strap, dressy

Sporty dress watch.

If this was a sports watch a Patek 3417 would be too?

I'd even consider my IWC Mark XV Pilot a sporty dress watch rather than a sports watch when on the leather strap...

brandrea · 11 June 2019, 10:07 PM

That’s a fantastic looking watch and I agree with others who say it’s both

jrs146 · 11 June 2019, 10:18 PM

I’ve always loved that piece. It’s very versatile. I don’t think it fits into either category dress/sport fully. It’s a slider. Dress it up or down. It will look great.

stockjock1975 · 11 June 2019, 10:40 PM

Thanks for the comment everyone. I've owned the watch for about 6 months now and can't sat enough good things about it. It just seems right at home in almost every situation and that's important to me in a watch. I think it could be my "one watch for life" if the unthinkable happened and I had to part ways with the collection.

That’s a daily

A daily watch that can be dressed up or down with the strap combination.
