Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A compact dress watch built around its bezel — the crystal embellishment there is the design's entire argument, keeping the dial itself deliberately plain so the sparkle reads without competition. The sunray silver dial and baton indices give the eye nowhere else to go, which is precisely what the setting needs. At 28mm and 8mm deep, it sits almost flat against the wrist, and at 110 grams the bracelet has enough substance to feel considered without pulling. The deployant clasp keeps the underside tidy, and link adjustment via push-pins means a proper fit is straightforward to achieve.

Learn more about Guess
The Marciano brothers founded Guess in Los Angeles in 1981, building it on denim and advertising that became as well known as the clothes.
The watch line is produced in-house through Guess Watches and Sequel AG, and follows the brand's aesthetic closely: crystal-set bezels, heavy gold and rose gold plating, oversized cases, and dials that favour decoration over legibility. Movements are quartz.
The watches are priced as accessories and sold as such.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
14mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
