Halloween is right around the corner — and what better way to get into the spirit than with a watch that embraces the spooky season? From eerie skull dials and pumpkin-orange divers to playful ghost motifs, here are ten affordable Halloween-themed watches mostly under $1,000 that bring plenty of character (and a touch of fright) to your wrist.

Swatch “It’s Spooky Time”

Kicking things off with a true Halloween special — the Swatch SB03B700 “It’s Spooky Time.” Bright, bold, and full of character, this watch celebrates the season with playful graphics and a matching themed box. Its lightweight bio-sourced case and signature Swatch energy make it an easy pick for anyone looking to accessorize for October.
Price: $135

Mr. Jones “The Last Laugh”

A Halloween classic in the watch world, the Mr. Jones “The Last Laugh” draws inspiration from memento mori — the idea of remembering our mortality. Instead of hands, the time is revealed through the skull’s teeth: the upper jaw shows hours, and the lower jaw displays minutes. It’s darkly witty, deeply symbolic, and visually unforgettable — the perfect conversation starter this Halloween.
Price: $395

Spinnaker × seconde/seconde/ “Phantom”

The new Fleuss Automatic Seconde/Seconde/ 2025 Edition brings together the British-based microbrand’s nautical DNA with the tongue-in-cheek artistic vision of Seconde/Seconde/ — the Parisian design studio known for reimagining watches with humor and hidden symbolism. This special release arrives in two distinct sizes, each limited to just over a thousand pieces. With ghostly visuals, glow-in-the-dark accents, and a mix of tool-watch toughness and conceptual flair, it’s a collaboration perfect for the Halloween season.
Price: $475

Mr. Jones Watches “Night Howl”

Another haunting creation from the London-based brand, the Mr. Jones “Night Howl” captures the spirit of the forest after dark. Evoking a moonlit forest scene, this timepiece uses a glowing ghost to mark the hour and a torch-beam style indicator for the minutes — the result is atmospheric and slightly whimsical. It’s not a loud Halloween gimmick; instead it nods to the spookiness of the night in a subtle, artistic way.
Price: $295

Bulova “Devil Diver”

Originally launched in the 1970s and revived in recent years, the Bulova “Devil Diver” earned its name from its unusual depth rating — 666 feet. Combined with its bold orange dial, it’s a match made in Halloween heaven. Rugged, retro, and bursting with character, it’s a dive watch that wears its devilish nickname proudly.
Price: $600

Detrash “Dark Night”

The Detrash Dark Night is a sleek, all-black automatic that feels tailor-made for Halloween. With its DLC-coated stainless steel case, yellow lume, and subtle pop of color on the seconds hand, it captures that perfect mix of stealth and energy. Measuring 38mm across and only 8mm thick, it’s slim, comfortable, and modern — all while being built from 80% recycled stainless steel in true Detrash fashion. Powered by the Miyota 9039 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, it’s a sustainable, everyday-ready watch that happens to look right at home under moonlight.
Price: $600

Ghost Town “Old West”

The Old West is built like a tiny wearable film — a limited run of 500 pieces that deliberately tells a story of love, death and reincarnation. The dial and finishing are designed to feel weathered and narrative-driven rather than gimmicky. It’s compact (37mm wide, 39mm lug-to-lug) with a polished 316L stainless case, single-dome sapphire crystal, and a Ronda 515.24D quartz movement; it’s water resistant to 5 ATM and ships on an 18 mm leather strap. For someone wanting a piece that feels like a dusty relic from a ghost town, this one nails the vibe without leaning into cheap Halloween theatrics.
Price: $250

Undone “Calavera Neon”

A colorful tribute to Día de los Muertos, the Undone “Calavera Neon” celebrates life, death, and everything in between. Its luminous skull design glows under UV light, while the caseback reveals a guitar-playing skeleton and the phrase “Todos Somos Calaveras” — “We are all skeletons.” It’s vibrant, meaningful, and perfectly timed for the season.
Price: $365

Mido Commander Gradient Catrines

For something more refined, the Mido Commander Gradient Catrines delivers sophistication with a hint of skeletonized mystery. Its semi-transparent dial gradually fades to reveal the movement underneath — like a ghostly apparition within the case. It’s proof that Halloween style doesn’t have to be loud to be hauntingly good.
$1,179

Boldr Venture “Staghorn”

The Boldr Venture Staghorn akes the brand’s signature titanium field watch and evolves it into a fully capable diver — lightweight, durable, and subtly themed for the season. Named after the endangered staghorn coral, it pairs a soft pale-orange dial and bezel with a dark matte titanium case, creating an almost otherworldly contrast that feels right at home in autumn. The 38mm case houses a Seiko NH35A automatic movement and a new 120-click titanium bezel with lumed markings for timing dives (or Halloween countdowns). The result is a rugged yet refined watch that captures Boldr’s blend of practicality and purpose — equal parts eco-inspired and adventure-ready.
Price: $449

From eerie collaborations to stealthy minimalist designs, these watches show just how creative brands can get when blending horology with Halloween spirit. Whether it’s Mr. Jones’ dark humor, Spinnaker’s tongue-in-cheek artistry, or Detrash’s sustainable shadow play, each piece brings a different side of the season to the wrist. None of them are gimmicks — just thoughtfully designed watches that happen to pair perfectly with pumpkin season.
