Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Emperor's octagonal case sits at 42mm, finished in brushed and polished gold-tone PVD over recycled stainless steel. At 10mm thick, it carries a relatively slim profile for a link bracelet watch. The dark emerald green sunray dial uses baton indices alongside partial Roman numerals, with luminous hour and minute hands for low-light legibility. A hardened mineral crystal covers the dial, and the integrated gold-tone bracelet closes with a double push-button deployment clasp. Water resistance is rated to 50 metres.

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?
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?
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?
25mm. 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 men's.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £119 and £169, today it's £119.
