The waning days of summer are a good time to take a moment to reflect on the state of your watch collection and identify any gaps. Diver not rated deep enough? Casual watch just a little too casual for beach-day after parties? And is there even one piece in the collection linked to some environmental cause that enables you to enjoy the outdoors in the first place? Here are some options to help correct any omissions, especially for those planning to attend Geneva Watch Days in in a few days, where your wristwear will be thoroughly scrutinized by the mob.

Oris New York Harbor Limited Edition II.

Oris New York Harbor Limited Edition II

This watch represents a partnership with the New York City-based Billion Oyster Project, the goal of which is to restore one billion oysters to New York Harbor (150 million oysters are already in place). Oysters are good because they clean the water: “Each oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day,” says the organization. The watch, from the Aquis collection, is rated to 300 meters, with a beachy turquoise dial and matching rubber strap. $3,000

This cool blue status watch, from the king of the independent watchmakers, is the real thing. It is inspired by the Porsche racing cars once driven by Laurent Ferrier, who has a background as a race car driver in addition to being a master watchmaker (he was technical director of Patek Philippe for decades). The sculpted Galet case and translucent blue lacquer dial are as cool as a summer watch can get. $52,000

Doxa Sub 200 Dune

This Caribbean-themed dive watch is a collaboration between Doxa and its retail partner, Art of Time, a jeweler in Philipsburg, St. Maarten. The sand-textured dial and the laser-engraved map of the Caribbean on the back (using laser oxidation) set the tone. It comes with both a stainless steel “beads of rice” bracelet and a black rubber strap. Limited to 100 pieces. $2,090

Even if you’re not prepared to suit up and dive to 500 meters, tweaking your helium escape valve while hunting for sharks, it’s a flex to wear a watch that can take you there if you need it. The sandblasted ceramic case is indestructible, and it comes with either a woven fabric NATO style strap or a black rubber chevron strap. The closed case back is engraved with a map of the world’s oceans. $6,950

Meistersinger Edition Neo JE

If you don’t own a Neo E-Type Jaguar convertible, this watch, which pays homage to the legendary 1960s racer, is a nice alternative: it comes with a miniature model of the car. The logo, hands, hashmarks and strap are racing green, like the body of the car. The cognac-colored five-minute markings reference the E-Type’s original wooden steering wheel, and the silver numerals mimic the chromed wheel rims. Limited to 100 pieces, at 2,290€ (about $2,700).
