Or maybe you have that centerpiece and just want something you can slip on and type in? Well that’s perfectly fine, and we’ve got you covered. These are some of the best affordable watches of 2021.
Rec TTT Great Escape Watches

Presented by Rec Watches
Rec Watches is all about the three-pronged concept that shapes its name: “Recover. Recycle. Recover.” It’s that spirit that drives every watch she releases, including – in this case – her very first motorcycle-inspired watch collection. However, this version is far from any motorcycle watch; The TTT Great Escape is built with a true piece of cinematic history. Recycled original clutch discs and connecting rods from Steve McQueen’s 1962 Triumph TR6 Trophy from The great Escape, TTT Great Escape from Rec Watches uses one of the most memorable motorcycles in history to literally create an entirely modern luxury watch. By building these salvaged materials from the Triumph bike directly into the dial, the team at Rec Watches also included nods to McQueen’s on-screen racing via the dark green color scheme used on the dial, rotor. and the inner liner of the bracelet. Movie buffs will also notice the motorcycle’s license plate (WH-13371) appearing at 5 o’clock on the inner dial. Apart from the tributes to The great Escape, Rec Watches’ TTT watches also feature a convenient interior-exterior dual case construction that allows the wearer to turn the entire dial to toggle between RIDE and DRESS modes; RIDE mode shifts the 12 o’clock marker by 30 degrees for easy readability, even on the go. Exclusive to Gear Patrol readers, Rec Watches is offering 10% off with code GEARPATROL10.
