Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy — it’s also the perfect time to celebrate the darker, more daring side of horology. Many watches have earned spooky nicknames thanks to their bold color schemes, sinister lume, or haunting backstories. Pair them with the right strap, and you’ve got a watch that’s as ready for the season as a carved jack-o’-lantern.
🦇 Spooky Watches Collectors Love
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Vampire”
A blacked-out Royal Oak with red accents that give it a bloodthirsty edge. It’s one of the boldest “stealth wealth” statements in the AP lineup.
Seiko Prospex “Dracula”
The nickname comes from its black-and-red design that mirrors Dracula’s cloak. Affordable, rugged, and beloved by Seiko fans.
Omega Seamaster “Black Black”
An all-black Seamaster Diver 300M, stealthy enough to look like it just crawled out of the shadows. Perfect for Halloween (and for year-round wrist presence).
Casio G-Shock “Pumpkin”
Orange-heavy G-Shocks are often nicknamed after pumpkins. Rugged, affordable, and loud — just like the season.
