Posted on 15 June 2021 at 6:54 PM

A beautiful watch not only shows the exact time, it is also a piece of jewelry and is also a kind of status symbol for many men. In addition, there are collectors who collect special and exclusive watches as a hobby. When you choose a quality watch for your collection or for daily wear, you do this with care. Not only the quality plays a role, but also the origin of the watch and the story behind a watch brand can play a role in this. Now there are several Swiss and German watch brands that are loved by many watch enthusiasts and/or collectors. Of course, Switzerland is known as the one and only watch country and Germany follows as a close second in terms of quality, reliability and solidity. Yet our own little country, the Netherlands, also has a special and young brand that we would like to bring to your attention. We are talking about the Dutch watch brand Van Speyk.

Van Speyk was created by a collaboration between a few entrepreneurs who did not find the watch they were looking for among the existing watches. The name of this special brand refers to the Dutch navigator Jan van Speyk. Van Speyk was nicknamed "the terror of the robbers". He blew up his ship in 1831 to prevent it from falling into the hands of Belgian insurgents and was killed himself. With this story, the Speyk brand gets a nostalgic touch and refers to Dutch history. Many watch enthusiasts will feel attracted to this brand because of this.

When we take a closer look at the Van Speyk collection, we distinguish different series of watches and we also see a great diversity in the appearance of the watches. For example, you can find both modern and classic-looking watches, but the collection also houses somewhat tougher and more sporty models. In addition, you can also go to Van Speyk for real diving watches and pilot watches. Because Van Speyk offers this variation and at the same time delivers quality, but also remains very affordable, the brand is accessible to a wide audience. After all, at Van Speyk you can find watches in nice designs with a solid timepiece and that for a very competitive price. It is also particularly nice that various Van Speyk watches have a transparent bottom. Ideal for the real enthusiast who likes to see the movement of his watch at work.

The Dutch Diver series from the Van Speyk collection offers beautiful diving watches. These are water resistant up to 200 meters and equipped with a screw-down crown, rotating bezel and an automatic Citizen movement by Miyota. In addition, these watches offer nice extra functionalities such as SuperLuminova, date display and luminous indicators. In terms of material, stainless steel and extremely strong sapphire glass have been used, among other things. Different colors of dials are available, such as black, grey, white, brown and blue and the stainless steel watch strap gives the watches a cool and sporty look.

The next series that houses the Van Speyk collection is the Van Speyk Holland series. Here we see watches with a classic and traditional look. These watches are equipped with a beautiful leather watch strap in black or different shades of brown. Each model from the Holland series is also available with a black or white dial, so that you can get your watch exactly how you want it. These watches are equipped with various extras that emphasize the feeling of luxury that these watches want to give you. For example, the Van Speyk logo can be found on the watch strap, the watch case and the rotor. In addition, different models are available with a day/night indicator and blue screws in the movement.

The third series that we would like to mention from the van Speyk collection is the Van Speyk Dutch Pilot series. This is a very attractive series of watches within the collection. Within this series we find beautiful pilot watches with a traditional look and a nostalgic approach. Here too we see beautiful quality leather watch straps in the colors brown and black. The stitching is visible on these straps, which emphasize the retro look of the watches. The Van Speyk Dutch Pilot watches are equipped with a quartz movement of the brand Ronda. These watches are water resistant up to 100 meters. We also see beautiful functionalities in the various models such as SuperLuminova, blue index and hands and luminous indicators.

The above series are just a few of the Van Speyk collection. So it is definitely worth taking a closer look at the collection.
