Two of the best accessories a woman can wear are confidence and an elegant watch in a rose gold hue. For ladies who like to leave a little sparkle wherever they go, The Watch Guide introduces you to an array of attractive rose gold-plated branded watches for women available in India. But first, we must get you acquainted with the rose gold hue. While solid white gold is realised by mixing gold with nickel and finished with a rhodium coating, the pink hue in solid rose gold is achieved by combining pure gold with a copper alloy. Rose gold is also known as pink gold, and was initially popularised as ‘Russian gold’ because it was first seen in the land of vodka. After enjoying its share of fame during the Victorian era, rose gold slowly faded away, but the blush-toned gold made a comeback in the 1920s, when iconic jeweller Cartier unveiled their Trinity rings. From there, there was no turning back. Seen on metallic elements of various accessories, pink-tinted shades of gold have been extremely popular in watches as well, whether it’s in solid, 18-karat gold timepieces or the more accessible watches made from gold-plated or gold PVD-treated (physical vapour deposition) steel.

Here’s a selection of 10 rose gold watches for women from the latter category, each of which you can get your hands on for just about ₹15,000 or less.

Fossil Jacqueline

Overdressed but never over elegant. The Fossil Jaqueline will definitely bring out your feminine side with its elegant presence

A woman can be overdressed but never over-elegant and this Fossil Jacqueline has re-enforced that belief. Your feminine side is going to get a power boost because this classic timepiece comes with a modern twist. A visual treat, the Fossil Jaqueline comes with a 26mm, rose gold PVD-treated steel case that adds feminine charm, while the silver dial complements it extremely well. Beneath the poise the watch is equipped with a quartz movement making it more precise than a mechanical watch. With Roman numerals denoted on the dial and a five-link bracelet, it’s a perfect dress watch to don for an evening outing or a business conference.

Armani Exchange Drexler

Armani Exchange Drexler exudes a powerful image, and yet, with its rose gold tone, keeps you close to your feminine side. Owning an Armani Exchange tag is exhilarating enough, but to enhance that feeling, you need to own this Drexler. Why? This is an extremely stylish, bold and classy timepiece from the Italian fashion label. The rose gold PVD-treated steel gives it a polished touch and the voluminous case, at 38 mm, adds a ‘boyfriend watch’ vibe. What makes this watch irresistible is the bejewelled bezel, that has an effect you cannot miss. In unison with the rose gold case and dial is the ‘H link’ steel and rose gold PVD bracelet. Interestingly, the dial has no numerals to denote the hours but simple appliques as indices. The sub-dials for the 24-hour indication and GMT function have numeral markings that are quite legible. The minute markers are seen on the outer flange of the dial. This watch is powered by a precise quartz movement. The clean-cut case has a simple crown bearing the symbolic Armani Exchange emblem.

Trust the brand to come out with a timeless beauty like the EM0579-14A, which is a stunning blend of technology and aesthetics. The watch is equipped with Eco-Drive, an advanced technology developed by Citizen, which enables the watch to be recharged by any light source and thus, the need to change the battery never arises.

The watch is powered by the E031 calibre, which offers accuracy with a maximum variation of 15 seconds per month.

Casio Sheen

The dictionary defines ‘sheen’ as a ‘soft lustre on a surface’ and this sophisticated timepiece from Casio exemplifies sheen to the T. With a rose gold metallic tint and dainty crystals on the dial, this watch perfectly imbibes the spirit of the new-age woman. It gives out a modish aura with a 34mm round rose gold PVD-treated steel case. The dial blends well with the case in the same rose gold tint. While bold Roman numerals indicate the hours, shining rhinestones on the three, six and nine o’clock hour markers add a refined look. The dial also features three sub-dials indicating the date, a 24-hour format, and the day of the week, making it utterly functional. The analogue watch also has the basic hour, minute and seconds hands. The quartz movement in the Casio Sheen ensures you are always on point in terms of accuracy with a maximum variation of 20 seconds per month.

There is a small date window between four and five o’clock, making this timepiece as functional as it is pretty.

Fossil Georgia

Presenting daring finesse and grace in its curvy silhouettes, this watch keeps a retro California-cool attitude kicking. The Georgia features a quartz movement set in a 26mm rose gold-coloured steel case. The fuss-free rosy dial has a gorgeous spiral pattern with only ‘12’ and ‘6’ in Arabic numbers. The pink gold hue is extended in the hour, minute and seconds hands and the hour markers. The watch has a romantic, equestrian look accentuated by horse bit-shaped lugs and a stud rivet that secures the sand-coloured genuine calfskin leather strap.

The strap has a buckle that reflects another parallel with a horse bridle. The sand-coloured supple leather has a textured feel and gives a very comfortable fit on the wrist. Above all, Fossil has put in considerate thought by placing the dial over the leather in a way that there is no discomfort by the constant rubbing of steel against your skin, making it perfect for all seasons, and particularly for those with allergies! Though the watch is water resistant up to 50m, you’d want to stay clear of unnecessary splashes, to protect the leather of course. This is surely a cut above the rest and if you love a clean, minimalistic watch, with nuanced details, this is definitely the pick for you.
