Premium

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 140 Guess watches in stock.

The Empress collection is Guess's dresswear line, and the GW1095L3 makes clear what that means in practice: an octagonal case that gives the silhouette something to do, polished silver at the base with gold along the bezel edges, and a white dial marked in Roman numerals that fills out the geometry without competing with it. At 34mm it sits squarely on a smaller wrist, and at 8mm thick it sits flat enough to move comfortably beneath a cuff. The two-tone pattern carries through from case to bracelet without interruption, the alternating silver and gold links reading as a continuation of the case rather than an attachment to it. A butterfly clasp keeps the underside clean.

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.

What size strap does it take?

21mm. 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, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
