Stepping up in Gucci's range
The Model 2000 was Gucci's entry into watchmaking in 1974, and the move was anything but tentative — it set a Guinness World Record as the top-selling watch of its time, with over a million units sold within two years. This revival arrives as part of the Cruise 2025 collection, reintroducing the original nameplate in bangle form, which is the key distinction from the leather-strap versions in the same family. At 24mm the watch reads as jewellery first, and the pink guilloché dial with its Interlocking G motif and mixed Roman numerals leans into that deliberately. The white resin inserts on the case sides break up the metal in a way that feels considered rather than decorative. The bangle closure is designed to open and shut cleanly, which matters on a piece worn this close to the wrist and changed as often as a fashion item tends to be.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedCheapest place to buy
Mappin & Webb is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
