Watches (Switzerland and Japan)

Swiss watch duty-free at Geneva, Zurich, or Basel airports represents the closest the general public gets to genuine wholesale pricing on mid-range Swiss movements — a Tissot Powermatic 80 is 12% cheaper than the average US mall price. Tissot, Longines, TAG Heuer, and Omega can be 10–20% cheaper than UK or US retail. Japan's Narita airport offers authentic Japanese watches (Grand Seiko, Citizen, Casio G-Shock) at prices below online grey market alternatives, often saving 15% more than typical watch duty-free outlets.
