5 Men’s Swiss Watches that Women Can Rock

It used to be a trend for women to wear watches made for men, but it looks like this movement is here to stay.

And we totally understand – women’s watches are often designed to be smaller in size, and have more embellishments and bright colors, which may not suit one’s taste. On the other hand, men’s watches are usually simpler in design but bolder in size, have greater legibility, and come with more advanced movements that may fit a woman’s style and needs better.

There’s no denying that a woman who wears a man’s watch is definitely making a statement.

If you’re on the market for men’s watches, here are 5 that will look incredible on your wrist:

ROLEX COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA

The Daytona is perhaps the most popular men’s watch among female celebrities, counting Sofia Vergara, Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and more among its fans. The classic style makes it easy to pair with everything from jeans and a tank, to a bodycon as seen on Elle Macpherson.With a 40.0mm diameter case and a bracelet that fits 7.5” wrist, it’s big enough to make a statement, but won’t hang loose on your wrists.

CARTIER TANK LOUIS

The Tank Louis has both men’s and women’s editions, but women looking for a slightly bigger watch often go for the former. With the combination of a rectangular form, hard edges, clean lines and an alligator hide bracelet, it makes for a great casual-to-dress watch. The choice of a men’s style with a slightly oversized dial is a subtle statement.Here’s Angelina Jolie sporting the classic Tank Louis in 18k gold.

PANERAI RADIOMIR

Panerai does not actually make any women’s models, so it’s an overtly masculine brand. Originally a military diving watch, it’s made for toughness and functionality, not status, so a woman who wears one is making a really strong statement.Take your cue from Paneristi Heidi Klum and pair it with a dress. She wears a Panerai Radiomir which has thinner lugs compared to other Panerai models. The date window and power-reserve indicator come in handy for a woman with a hectic sched.

AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK

Most people assume that women are more into embellished, diamond-laden luxury watches, and there’s nothing like a steel sports watch to prove them wrong. The Royal Oak, introduced in 1972, is the original luxury steel sports watch and has become an icon since.Ellen De Generes is sporting a Royal Oak Dual Time here – with its clean lines and steel dial and bracelet, it can be worn with a preppy wardrobe, or as a weekend watch.

IWC PORTUGUESE

With its clean dial and simple two-register chronograph layout, the IWC is versatile timepiece. Pair it with a pantsuit and it looks professional, wear it with jeans and a shirt and it looks sporty-casual. It’s also the best-known IWC watch so even those who aren’t horologically in the know will recognize it.Seen here on @iwcgirl‘s wrist is a black dial Portuguese, but we suggest one with a white dial for maximum versatility.
