Stepping up in the same dial colour
A bangle-style dress watch set with 400 crystals across the case, dial and bracelet, designed to read as jewellery and keep time as a secondary concern. The tonneau case and fully dressed bracelet are joined so seamlessly that the watch disappears into the piece as a whole. At 17mm wide it sits delicately on the wrist, and the sunray dial beneath the stone setting catches light at every angle. The butterfly clasp keeps the underside as clean as the front.

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.

No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
