Stepping up in Gucci's range
Gucci's Dive collection is an unusual proposition — a house better known for runway accessories applying genuine dive-watch engineering to a piece that still carries the brand's decorative instincts. The result here is a silver dial bearing the house's bee motif at its centre, paired with an 18ct yellow-gold-plated unidirectional bezel sitting against bare steel on the case and bracelet. That contrast is deliberate: the gold ring reads as an ornament until you remember it is also the functional insert that keeps a diver honest about elapsed bottom time. At 11mm thick for a watch rated to 300 metres, it wears considerably flatter than the depth rating would suggest, and the 40mm diameter keeps it from reading as a sport watch that has wandered onto the wrong wrist. The 38-hour power reserve from the Swiss automatic movement is workable rather than generous — enough to survive a weekend left in a drawer, no more.

Learn more about Gucci
Guccio Gucci opened a leather goods shop in Florence in 1921, and the house became one of the defining Italian luxury brands of the twentieth century.
Gucci's watches occupy unusual ground. Unlike most fashion houses, Gucci produces in Switzerland through its own facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and the watches carry Swiss Made designation. The G-Timeless line uses Swiss quartz and automatic movements, and recent references have included in-house-adjacent complications.
The design language is unmistakably Gucci — the green-red-green web stripe, the interlocking Gs, bee and snake motifs — applied to cases that are generally well proportioned. It sits above the licensed-fashion category without claiming to compete with the Swiss manufactures.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 300m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 38 hours fully wound — so it will usually stop if you leave it off overnight.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Both Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths list it at £1,530, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £1,530 and £2,040, today it's £1,530.
