Guess GW0873L4 Empress Two Tone Green Dial Bracelet Watch - W96423
Ref. GW0873L4
Sits in Guess’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Guess watches we list, which start at £65.
Price range £65 to £245 across 136 Guess watches in stock.The Empress line is Guess's dress range — watches drawn to read as jewellery first, built around a dial colour rather than a complication. This particular piece centres on an emerald sunray green dial set with Roman numerals and baton markers, the triangle G logo sitting at twelve in place of a numeral. The case has an octagonal bezel detail that gives the round 34mm form a geometric edge, keeping it from reading as simply plain. At 9mm thick it sits flat against the wrist and disappears under a shirt cuff without protest. The two-tone bracelet — silver and gold together — coordinates with the case rather than contrasting it, and the deployant clasp can be custom-fitted by removing pin links, which matters more than it sounds on a bracelet watch worn daily.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
