Thanks to the internet, there are countless watch microbrands out there, but many have a hard time standing out. That, however, has not been a problem for Zinvo watches, which has made a name for itself creating incredibly unique watches with eye-catching designs. The Blade Phantom, for instance, is pretty much unlike any other mechanical watch in its price range. It features a Miyota 8215 automatic movement driving traditional hour and minute hands, but in place of a seconds hand the movement is hooked up to a dial-mounted turbine that spins hypnotically, inspired by an aircraft’s jet engine. The aviation theme continues to the boldly-machined case, which has a stealthy matte black finish.

Though mechanical watches often garner high price tags, Zinvo has kept things accessibly-priced: the Blade Phantom retails for just $289. What’s more, enter the code GP15 at checkout, and you’ll receive an additional 15 percent off.
