Moissanite watches for men, built around VVS stones
Every moissanite watch in this collection uses lab-created moissanite graded VVS1 for clarity, with a white, colorless EF color and an excellent round brilliant cut. The stones cover the case, the bezel and the bracelet. That full coverage is what turns a steel watch into an iced out moissanite watch.
The cases are stainless steel and most measure 41mm across. Prices start at $799, far below what the same stone coverage costs in natural diamonds.
What VVS means on a moissanite watch
VVS stands for "very, very slightly included". At VVS1 the tiny internal marks in a stone are invisible to the naked eye and hard to find even under 10x magnification. On a watch with hundreds of small stones, clean clarity keeps the whole surface bright instead of patchy.
Moissanite also bends light more strongly than diamond. That gives a VVS moissanite watch more colored flashes, often called fire, especially in sunlight.

Bust down moissanite watch styles
Fully iced out bust down watches
A bust down moissanite watch has stones on every visible surface: dial, bezel, case and bracelet. It is the boldest look in the range and the one most people mean when they say iced out. See the full range of iced out and bust down watches.
Moissanite skeleton watch designs
A moissanite skeleton watch uses an open dial, so you can see the automatic movement working while the case and bracelet stay fully iced. It reads as more technical and less flashy than a pavé dial.
Two-tone and colored-stone looks
Some models mix gold-tone and steel-tone links, or add black or colored stones to the bezel. Finishes vary by watch, so check each product page for the exact details.
Do moissanite watches pass a diamond tester?
Moissanite conducts heat almost as well as diamond, so most handheld thermal testers read it as diamond. Multi-testers that also measure electrical conductivity can tell the two apart, because moissanite conducts electricity and most diamonds do not. We would rather you know that before you buy than be surprised later.
Living with an automatic moissanite watch
An automatic movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. If it sits unworn for a while it stops, so wind it a few turns at the crown and reset the time. Keep it away from strong magnets and water, and wipe the stones with a soft dry cloth to keep the sparkle.
Shipping and returns
US shipping is free. Orders are dispatched the same or next business day, then US delivery takes 7 to 10 business days. You can request a return within 14 days of delivery if the watch is unworn, with its tags and original packaging. Full details are in our shipping policy and refund policy.
Frequently asked questions
Is a moissanite watch a real diamond watch?
No. Moissanite is silicon carbide, a different gemstone that is created in a lab. It looks similar to diamond and is very hard, but it is sold here as moissanite, never as diamond.
How much does a moissanite watch cost?
Watches in this collection range from $799 to $1,599, depending on the style and stone coverage. Every order ships free within the US.
Is a moissanite watch worth buying?
It is worth it if you want the full iced out look at a fraction of diamond prices and you are fine with a lab-created stone. If natural diamond matters to you, this is not the right choice.
