Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

Price range £20 to £120 across 183 Sekonda watches in stock.

Designed to sit at the dressing-table end of the wardrobe rather than the boardroom, the Class 52 is Sekonda's fashion jewellery line — a category where the bracelet and the bezel do most of the talking. The stone-set bezel and the twin gold-tone ribbon running the length of the bracelet are conceived as a single piece of wristwear, and at 30mm the case is sized to read as jewellery first. The silver sunray dial is kept deliberately spare — gold-tone bar markers and three matching hands, nothing competing with the stones around them. The two-tone bracelet adjusts by adding or removing links, so the fit can be set precisely rather than worn loose.

Learn more about Sekonda

Sekonda was created in 1966, not as a manufacturer but as an export label. The Soviet state watch combine ChasProm needed a name under which to sell its output in the West, and Sekonda became that name — watches built at the First Moscow Watch Factory and the Petrodvorets Watch Factory in Leningrad, arriving in British shops as Sekonda rather than Poljot or Raketa.

That origin explains a curiosity of the vintage market: open a late-1960s Sekonda and you will often find a Poljot movement inside, stamped Made in USSR.

The quartz era changed the arrangement. Cheap, accurate Japanese movements undercut Soviet mechanical production, and after the breakup of the Soviet Union the brand cut its Russian ties entirely, moving manufacturing to Hong Kong in 1993.

What did not change was the position: reliable watches at prices most people do not have to think about. Sekonda had become the leading watch brand in the UK by 1988 and has stayed there, selling over a million watches a year, with Seksy, One and Xpose covering fashion and outdoor styles.

The brand is owned by Time Products, which also owns Accurist and Limit.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's.
