Women’s fashion and style are as changeable as the weather. No one can deny, that no matter what is currently trending, the foundation of a good wardrobe is always a selection of basic pieces. Clothes and accessories that hold a certain timeless appeal. A white button down shirt, or a pair of black heels can really take an outfit from drab to fab in seconds. The same applies to watches and accessories. A good accessory is able to tie in even the most unconventional outfit together. Neutral, minimalist and undeniably chic, these women’s back-to-basics watches are a must-have in any wardrobe.
LONGINES ELEGANT COLLECTION Automatic Beige Strap L48124112
The Longines Elegant Collection watch has a modern silhouette and a large 39 mm case, which immediately attracts attention, despite its understated colour scheme. The polished case is made of stainless steel. The white dial, covered by a sapphire crystal, features a simplistic design. Elongated black hour-markers and white hands give the watch its modern appeal. A brown leather strap not only secures the watch but brings a touch of colour to its design. Other features include a date aperture and a small second display. The model also has a display case back which showcases the calibre L891 automatic movement of the watch.
Michael Kors Liliane Women’s White Ceramic Watch MK4649
The second in our list of women’s back-to-basics watches is this glamourous Michael Kors. This timepiece is ideal for those who want to add a touch of sparkle. The Michael Kors Liliane stands out against our other choices thanks to its innovative approach to minimalism. The case and bracelet are made of white ceramic, making the watch hypoallergenic. The dial is made of white mother-of-pearl. A cohesive design between the dial and the bezel is achieved due to the silver-toned batons and hands. Against the elegant dial, the crystal-set bezel isn’t overpowering. Additionally, the watch’s smaller size of 33 mm, makes it more subtle.
Herbelin Cap Camarat Women’s Quartz Watch 14545B25
The women’s Herbelin Cap Camarat has a slightly androgynous look to it. However, that shouldn’t discourage you from making it a part of your collection. With the more masculine geometric design of the stainless steel bracelet, the watch lends itself to be dressed up or down depending on how you feel each day. The striped dial is light blue. Its colour is reminiscent of the iconic Tiffany blue. Additional features on the watch are a date aperture and luminescent hands, and indices. The watch is powered by a quartz movement.
Olivia Burton | Women’s | Midi Dial | Two-Tone Bracelet | White Dial | OB16MDW34
On the lower end of the price range, we have this simple, yet stunning, Olivia Burton. The bracelet of the model is made of dual-toned stainless steel. Securing it is a folding clasp. The watch case is also stainless steel. The dual-tone design is carried on onto the dial. The white dial is contrasted by yellow gold-toned batons and hands. Similarly to the other models on this list, the dial is left clean and simple with no complications. The movement of the watch is quartz.
Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Quartz Beige Strap H11221514
Last but not least we have chosen this unique Hamilton American Classic Ardmore timepiece. Though still minimalist, this watch has a definitive character. The silver and light beige colour scheme makes this the ideal everyday watch. Its rectangular case is made of stainless steel. Another unusual detail is the hour-markers. Their brown colour alongside the silver sunray dial gives this watch its unique look. The model also features a small second display at 6 o’clock. Lastly, tying in the entire look is the brown leather strap. This watch is also powered by a quartz movement.
