The yearly calendar, however, does not understand that February only has 28 days, or 29 days for leap years, thus it must be manually adjusted every 1st of March.
Keep track of time, buy an affordable perpetual calendar watch that never needs resetting!
Annual Calendars must be manually reset once a year, but perpetual calendars do not need to be reset for an extended period of time. The perpetual calendar will automatically shift to the right date, such as from February 28th or 29th to March 1st, using a combination of different levers and motions.
Most Perpetual Calendars do not need to be updated until 2100. The reason it has to be changed this year is because leap years are frequently divisible by four. Years ending in 00, on the other hand, must be divisible by 400 to be considered leap years. The perpetual calendar does not account for this final component, therefore the watch will need to be changed in the year 2100. The Mayans arguably created the most famous perpetual Calendar in history. Look at these affordable options for Perpetual Calendar Watches below and keep track of time effortlessly!

This is a perpetual calendar chronograph with a steel case and an integrated band that looks a lot like previous Aquatimer models. It has a 43mm diameter and comes in white, blue, silver, black, and salmon dial colours. There aren’t many perpetuals (new or old) with this more “tool watch” style, and despite being a touch hefty, this one has held up nicely since its release in 2001.
Some may argue that it’s a “lesser option” from IWC because it uses a perpetual calendar module on top of a Valjoux 7750 chronograph calibre, but when you consider that the comparable Portugieser with its 8-day power reserve is much bulkier and has movement issues, it’s hard not to side with the GST if the aesthetics appeal to you. Also, for a perpetual chronograph, this device is a fantastic deal at approximately $7-$9k.

Surprisingly, many collectors and enthusiasts are still unaware of this AP perpetual calendar. Only 7,291 watches utilising this cal. 2120/2800 were ever made between 1978 and 1993, when it was succeeded by an upgraded calibre that included a leap year indicator. Even though it’s made of yellow gold and only measures 36mm across, the notion that you can get your hands on an exceedingly small permanent calendar from AP for roughly $11-$12k still amazes me.
This calibre was so small for its time that it practically rewrote the standard for perpetual calendars, some of these components are just 4mm thick! With smaller cases and yellow gold regaining popularity, I’d be surprised if these pieces didn’t see at least minor price hikes in the next years.

The Glashutte Original permanent calendar is the item on this list that appeals to both men and women. Although the square case may not appeal to everyone, the arrangement of the calendar indicators and the skilfully crafted two-tone silvered dial give it a particularly timeless character.
Those familiar with FP Journe’s inventory, particularly the Octa Quantieme Perpetual, may notice some similarities in dial arrangement and colour, but design inspiration is a different story. It’s difficult to go wrong with this perpetual calendar if you’re looking for a clean, stylish, and compact perpetual calendar with a little flair for around $12,000.

The Transocean 1461 is one of the most economical perpetual calendars on the market these days, however it does have one shortcoming when compared to the others on our list: it isn’t exactly a real perpetual calendar.
The number “1461” in its name alludes to how long it will run without being corrected. By now, the few geeks in the room have correctly deduced that this implies its calibre does not account for leap years. Sure, this is a flaw, but it’s still a fascinating and complex timepiece, not to mention one that looks extremely current and would make a great present for the modern guy on the go. Breitling is well respected for making robust products from watches to lighters and more over for their excellent fire arms and protective gear.
