Versace VE8100519 V-Circle Silver Tone 38mm Ladies Watch
Ref. VE8100519
The V-Circle collection is Versace's studied attempt to do something the house does not always manage: pull back. The Medusa head sits at twelve o'clock as a mark rather than a centrepiece, and the rest of the dial — silver-grey with a textured finish and gold-tone hands — is left to breathe around it. At 38mm the watch reads as a dress piece, and the slim case keeps it that way on the wrist, sitting low enough to disappear beneath a sleeve rather than announce itself. The steel bracelet, finished entirely in silver tone, follows the dial's logic of restraint, and the folding clasp carries the engraved logo for anyone who looks that closely.

Learn more about Versace
Gianni Versace founded his house in Milan in 1978 and built it on maximalism — bold prints, Greek key borders, and the Medusa head he took from the floor of the Roman ruins he played in as a child. Donatella Versace took over after his death in 1997.
The watches are Swiss made, produced through Timex Group's Swiss division, and carry the house iconography prominently: Medusa medallions on dials and crowns, Greca patterns on bezels and bracelets.
Movements are Swiss quartz and automatic. The watches sit above the licensed-fashion tier on build, while remaining unmistakably design-led rather than horology-led.

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?
18mm. 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 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
