Watch collectors are always pining for a new piece. So if you have one on your holiday gift list, count yourself lucky. Of course, as easy as they are to buy for, the gifts watch lovers want can lead to financial ruin. Enter the Parchie "Lunar-Time" Limited Editions for Hodinkee—a 32mm and a 36mm pair of fun, time-only, collectors item timepieces that won’t break the bank.

The space inspired editions are limited to 500 pieces each and retail for $75 and $85 respectively, making them a perfect, budget-friendly gift for your favorite watch snob.
One of Parchie’s hallmarks is the use of bold colors. So true to form, both editions deploy a bright, metallic-red, aluminum case. Black hour and minute hands contrast the cream dials adorned with painted indexes. Both feature a red seconds hand that offers a pop of color that matches the case and 12-hour bezel.

Oversized crowns help make setting the editions’ Japanese quartz-powered movements easier for hands of all sizes. Both the 32mm and 36mm timepieces come on NASA-style white and grey nylon straps secured to the wrist with a Velcro closure.
The Parchie "Lunar-Time" Limited Editions for Hodinkee are available for purchase via watchesofswitzerland.com for $75 for the 32mm and $85 for the 36mm.
