6 Men’s Watches that Women Can Rock

With its clean dial and simple two-register chronograph layout, the IWC Portuguese is one 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 Rosamund Pike’s wrist is a black dial Portuguese; but we suggest a white dial for maximum versatility.

If you’re after a larger sized case but also want a variety of colors to choose from, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King is your best bet. With a 34 mm case, the Air-King is slightly larger than ladies’ watches but will still fit your wrist comfortably.

It’s a good choice for Miranda Kerr given the model and entrepreneur’s jet-setting lifestyle – the Rolex Air-King can easily go with anything from jeans to dresses.

Most people assume that women are only into embellished, diamond-laden dainty watches, and there’s nothing like a uniquely-shaped 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. Olivia is sporting a rose gold Royal Oak model here – which can be worn with a preppy wardrobe or as a weekend watch. SEE ALL ROYAL OAK >

Panerai does not actually make any women’s models, so it’s an overtly masculine brand. Originally created as a military diving watch, it’s made for toughness and functionality, 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 Day-Date is Rolex’s flagship watch. It has achieved mythical status as the watch of leaders, diplomats, and powerful men, after being worn by several US Presidents.

For a woman who’s achieved so much, there is no watch more fitting than the most esteemed Rolex. A-lister Jennifer Aniston seems to agree. Her 36 mm Rolex Day-Date helps her make a statement, without overpowering her wrist.

The Daytona is perhaps the most popular men’s watch among female celebrities, also counting Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Victoria Beckham among its fans.

The classic stainless steel model is easy to pair with everything from jeans and a tank, but an 18k yellow gold model ups the ante. Sofia wears hers with a mother of pearl dial which takes its sophistication up a notch. With a 40 mm 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.
