Versace VELW00720 Meander Women's Watch
Ref. VELW00720
The Meander collection takes its name from the Greek key motif that runs along the bezel — a detail that connects Versace's watch output directly to the decorative vocabulary the house has used across every medium since Gianni Versace built it into the brand's identity. On a 34mm gold-tone case with a black dial, the contrast is sharp without being loud: the gilt markers and hands read clearly against the dark ground while the Greek key pattern at the edge does the work of ornamentation. At 8mm, the case sits flat against the wrist in a way that suits the fine mesh bracelet, which lies close to the skin and flexes with movement rather than sitting rigid. The jewellery clasp continues the dress-watch logic through to the fastening.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
