Michele Deco Mid Stainless Diamond Dial Ladies Watch
Ref. MWW06G000002
Sits in Michele’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michele watches we list, which start at £1,099.
Price range £1,099 to £2,899 across 10 Michele watches in stock.The Deco line is Michele's longest-running family, and the rectangular case it carries has its roots in Art Deco geometry — the proportions here are not an accident but a deliberate inheritance. What gives this version its particular character is the mixing of polished stainless steel with 18k yellow gold plating, and the 148 diamonds set by hand across the bezel and the dial's outer tracks, which together tip the balance firmly toward jewellery without abandoning the structure of a watch. At 29mm by 31mm the case is genuinely compact, and at 8.3mm it sits flat enough that the bracelet disappears beneath a cuff. The signature red crown with the Michele logo is the one detail that reads as brand rather than ornament — small but deliberate. The seven-link bracelet mirrors the two-tone finish of the case and closes with a push-button deployant, so the underside is as considered as the front. The bracelet's quick-release system accepts any standard 16mm Michele strap, which means the watch can move between metal and leather without tools — a practical flexibility that is easy to miss on first handling but becomes the most useful thing about it.

Learn more about Michele
Michele traces back to Maurice Barouh, a European-trained watchmaker who set up in Miami after the Second World War building watches to order. His son Jack continued the business, and named the modern brand after his daughter, Michele Barouh, who became its designer.
The signature is the strap system. Michele watches are built around quickly interchangeable straps in leather, silicone, alligator and steel, so the same head can be rebuilt to suit the occasion — a proposition aimed squarely at buyers who think of a watch as part of an outfit rather than a permanent fixture.
The Deco is the defining case, a rectangular art deco shape that has carried the collection since the 1990s, alongside round chronographs with heavily jewelled bezels.
Fossil Group acquired the company in 2004, and it sits within the group's owned brands rather than its licences.
Movements are Swiss quartz for the most part, with generous diamond setting; the appeal is the design system rather than the mechanics.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
16mm. 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.
