Lacoste Black Men's Watch

What sets a black Lacoste men's watch apart, measured across our catalogue

We compared the black-dial models with our full range of Lacoste men's watches. The first difference is the all-black look: the strap is black on six watches in ten, more than twice as often as across the rest of the brand, and the case is black on more than four watches in ten, against fewer than one in five. The second difference is gold: a gold-tone strap is nearly twice as common, and two-tone cases are also more frequent, on one watch in five.

The third difference is water resistance: models rated at 3 ATM are clearly less numerous, around one watch in eight compared with nearly one in four for the brand. Everything else stays much the same: a median diameter of 43 mm, 10 mm thickness, a 20 mm strap, and a chronograph on almost one watch in two, as elsewhere in the Lacoste range.

Silicone, steel or leather: three ways to wear black

Silicone and steel share the selection equally, each on four watches in ten, with leather on the remaining two. A black Lacoste men's watch on silicone is the most faithful to the brand's sport spirit: lightweight, washable and unaffected by perspiration. Our montre silicone homme selection brings together more of them. In steel, the black Lacoste men's watch becomes more dressed up; on black leather, it moves into the office without effort.

Most close with a pin buckle, simple to adjust, with a fold-over clasp on about one watch in five. The dial is protected by a mineral crystal across the entire selection.

Black and gold: the contrasting version

The black and gold Lacoste men's watch pairs a black dial with a gold-tone case or strap. It is the most eye-catching version, best worn with a understated outfit. The black and gold Lacoste men's watch also exists in two-tone, where silver-tone and gold-tone share the strap, a more discreet compromise. Baton indexes predominate, sometimes replaced by Arabic numerals or dots.

Water resistance and sporty use

More than eight watches in ten are water-resistant to 5 ATM: suitable for occasional showers, but not for swimming pools. The 10 ATM rating, the level for bathing and light snorkelling, remains rare. For exercise, a black Lacoste watch on silicone is an excellent choice; for swimming, it is best to take it off. The most sporty profiles, across all brands, are gathered on our montre sport homme page, and the full range is available on montre Lacoste homme.
