Vogue recently announced its bye-bye beige and hello red for 2023! It comes after the recent autumn/winter 2023 runways, which have been ablaze with fiery crimsons, rubies and vermillions. We can’t say that this change isn’t welcome, there’s something classically beautiful about red. This is particularly true for watches and jewellery. For those who do not want to commit to full red right away, accessories are the perfect way to inject some hints into your look. Today, we have compiled this Trends to Watch: Fiery Red guide to help you get ahead of the curve.
Best Fiery Red Watches
Junghans max bill MEGA Solar White Dial Red Vegan Apple Fibre Strap 59/4325.02
Combining a well-loved design with the new red-hot trend, first up on our Trends to Watch: Fiery Red list is this Junghans max bill. At its centre, it features the clean white dial characteristic of the max bill collection. However, putting a contemporary twist on the beloved design are the red Arabic numeral hour markers. In keeping with this, the date display at the 3 o’clock position also has a crimson numeral. Subtle silver hour, minute and second hands balance out the boldness of the indices and add some understated elegance. Framing the dial is a 38mm stainless steel case, which is finished with a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
Beyond its superficial design, this max bill is also very sustainable. Its bold red strap is made from vegan apple fibre and fastens securely with a stainless steel buckle. Additionally, beating at the heart of the model is a J101.85 solar-powered movement. It’s radio-controlled, meaning it connects to atomic clocks to ensure the time displayed is as precise as possible. Moreover, the watch can also connect to the Junghans MEGA smartphone app to synchronise it to the current time. This feature is particularly convenient for those travelling through different time zones. Sustainable with a stylish edge to it, there’s little not to love about this max bill.
Bering Women’s Classic Polished Rose Gold Red Mesh Bracelet 10426-363-S
Another elegant contender on our list is this Bering piece. Its rectangular rose gold stainless steel case provides a contrast to the watch’s all-red colour scheme. Measuring 26mm wide, the case frames a deep ruby dial adorned with rose gold baton indices and matching hands. The sunray finish of the dial means the red colour has a slight sheen to it, making it a real eye-catcher on the wrist. Moreover, for optimal protection, a high-quality scratch-resistant sapphire crystal encases the dial.
Completing the design is a red-plated stainless steel mesh bracelet that sits snugly against the wrist. Lastly, housed within its petite case is a reliable quartz movement. With its sleek silhouette and flattering build, we highly recommend this Bering as a stylish accompaniment to any formal look.
Tissot Sideral S Powermatic 80 (41mm) Black Dial / Red Rubber Strap T1454079705702 T145.407.97.057.02
A more masculine fiery red watch we recommend is this Tissot timepiece. Particularly in the dark, the unique ring of luminescent indices immediately draws the eye towards the dial. Ticking at its centre are two white hands and a contrasting red secondhand, complete with a Tissot ‘T’ counterweight. Moreover, an added function is the neat date display tucked away at 3 o’clock. This utilitarian but imaginative design is housed in an even more unique case. With its smokey grey marbled texture, this case measures 41mm and is made from durable forged carbon. Its robust build helps to lock in an impressive 300 metres of water resistance.
Finishing touches on the mode include its scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal and the exhibition case back. This case back shows off the watch’s automatic movement, which boasts an incredibly generous 80-hour power reserve. However, the model’s most show-stopping finishing touch is surely its strap. An unapologetic shade of red, the strap is rubber with perforated detailing for some added breathability. Beyond its distinctive appearance, this Tissot is one of the most well-built on our list.
Mondaine SBB Petite Cushion Square White Dial Red Vegan Leather Strap MSL.31110.LCV
With its immediately recognisable hands and indices, we couldn’t resist including this Mondaine Cushion model. The brand’s Cushion Collection has recently caught the eye of various publications such as Retail Jeweller, who featured it in its most recent issue. At the centre of its 31mm stainless steel case is the brand’s signature white dial design. Complete with a red lollipop second hand as well as chunky black baton indices, the dial is quintessentially Mondaine. Beyond its recognisability, the beauty of this design is definitely its readability.
The dial design also ties in well with the fiery red trend. Topping off this particular design is a red vegan leather strap, which echoes the colour of the second hand. To secure it to the wrist, it fastens with a classic stainless steel pin buckle. Quirky and offbeat in true Mondaine fashion, this piece is a brilliant everyday watch.
Raymond Weil Women’s Toccata Red Leather Strap Red Dial 5925-STC-00451
Our last watch contender has a timeless crimson beauty. Exuding luxury, this Raymond Weil Toccata features a red dial set with eight diamond indices. Roman numerals mark the 12, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, whilst a date display replaces the 3 o’clock marker. To match these, the two slim hands at the centre of the dial are silver in colour. Echoing this is the rectangular stainless steel case which measures 22mm.
Other luxurious touches on this model include its Swiss quartz movement, its scratch-resistant sapphire glass and its leather strap. Fitting with the theme of our ‘Trends to Watch’ list, this strap is a deep red. Sophisticated in every sense of the word, this Toccata is perfect for someone looking for a more mysterious red watch.
Best Fiery Red Accessories
Garmin QuickFit 20mm Strap Only Flame Red Silicone 010-13102-02
Bridging the gap between our fiery red watches and our fiery red accessories is this Garmin replacement strap. A replacement strap is perfect for those looking to elevate their timepiece without plunging into the investment of a completely new watch. Moreover, this makes it an ideal present for any occasion or birthday on the horizon.
Distinct from the other contenders on our list, this strap takes on more of a vermillion shade of red. More orange in hue, it’s a brilliant choice for summer and the (unfortunately upcoming) autumn months too. The body of the strap is silicone and therefore has an excellent level of breathability. Fitted with the brand’s QuickFit mechanism, the strap is also easy to take on and off your Garmin watch so you can change up your look as you please. Cheaper and more environmentally friendly than investing in a whole new fiery red accessory, this Garmin strap is brilliant for testing the waters of this new trend.
Swarovski Orbita Necklace Drop Cut Crystal Gold Tone Plated Multicoloured 5619786
Starting off our list of fiery red jewellery with a bang, first, we have this beautiful Swarovski Orbita necklace. Threaded onto a delicate gold-tone chain is a double-sided drop pendant. On the front side, it features a red pear-cut crystal pendant which is anchored by a smaller round-cut lilac crystal pendant. To give you the option to switch things up, the red pendant swivels to reveal a lilac pear-cut stone on the back. Moreover, framing the sides of the pendants are warm topaz-tone crystals. A piece you will never tire of thanks to its versatility, this Orbita necklace is truly unique.
LM 18ct White Gold Pear Ruby Diamond Halo Studs 1.45ct Total SE4942
On the pear-cut theme, next up are these ruby earrings. No gemstone possesses the same classiness as ruby, and that is particularly true for these studs. Framed by a halo of diamonds, each earring features a stunning ruby as its centrepiece. The crystals are then set onto 18-carat white gold and are secured with a push-back closure. Epitomising old Hollywood glamour, these earrings are a truly gorgeous way to dip into the new trend.
Radley Jewellery Esher Street Bracelet Red Heart Stone Silver Tone RYJ3195
Matching our previous two pieces and our last Trends to Watch: Fiery Red contender is this beautiful Radley piece. With a dainty silver-tone chain bracelet as its base, the heart-shaped charm immediately catches the eye. Encased in a silver-tone shell engraved with the Radley brand name, there is a faceted red crystal. It also takes the shape of a heart and exhibits stunning depth. Beside this pendant, there are two ball charms to frame it. Finally, securing the bracelet is a lobster clasp with a Radley-branded coin charm. Adorably feminine, we love this Radley piece.
And that concludes our comprehensive Trends to Watch: Fiery Red list of watches and accessories today! We hope that you have found something to your taste, but if you’re still on the hunt for your perfect piece, we have lots more red watches and red jewellery to browse on our website.
