Luxury is typically associated with lavishness and opulence – diamonds, gems, yellow gold and the like. Some people want everyone around them to know they are doing well, their wardrobe and accessories a clear tell of this. Others, however, prefer to fly under the radar with their watches – a phenomenon that’s recently gained traction known as stealth wealth. White gold and platinum watches are common culprits on the wrists of stealth wealth-concerned individuals, as they can easily be mistaken for plebian stainless steel. The meaning can also be more literal, however, as you will see with Andrew’s selection of three new stealth wealth watches for 2023, leveraging predominantly black hues.For the full low-down on this stealth wealth trio, you will have to watch the video above, but the specifications and pricing for each are listed below.Doxa SUB 300 SharkhunterBrandDoxaModelSUB 300 SharkhunterReference Number830.20.101.20Case Dimensions42.5mm (D) x 11.95mm (T) x 44.5mm (LTL)Case MaterialCeramic, titanium and 18k 3N yellow goldWater Resistance300 metresCrystal(s)SapphireDialBlackLug Width20mmStrapBlack FKM rubber with PVD-coated clasp and wetsuit extensionMovementSellita SW200, COSC-certifiedPower Reserve38 hoursFunctionsHours, minutes, seconds, dateAvailabilityStarting from October 2023PriceCHF 6,950, US$6,950, 7,250Bulgari Octo Finissimo CarbonGoldBrandBulgariModelOcto Finissimo CarbonGold AutomaticReference Number103779Case Dimensions40mm (D) x 6.9mm (T)Case MaterialCarbon, rose gold and ceramicWater Resistance100 metresCrystal(s)Flat sapphire front and backDialCarbonStrapCarbon bracelet with folding claspMovementBVL 138, in-house, 2.23mm thicknessPower Reserve60 hoursFunctionsHours, minutes, small secondsAvailabilityNowPriceA$41,900 (Automatic)Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute 8TechBrandGirard-PerregauxModelLaureato Absolute 8TechReference Number81060-41-3222-1CXCase Dimensions44mm (D) x 15.15mm (T)Case MaterialCarbon composite, titaniumWater Resistance100 metresCrystal(s)AR-coated sapphireDialGreyLug WidthIntegratedStrapStitched black rubber with PVD titanium buckleMovementGP03300-1058, in-house, automatic chronographPower Reserve46 hoursFunctionsHours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronographAvailabilityNowPriceUS$26,700
