Rolex Lady-Datejust
The Rolex Lady-Datejust is a visually stunning timepiece, and is a feminine Rolex classic par excellence.

This calendar chronometer is available in a wide range of case and dial options ensuring a match for all preferences. The one featured here comes in an 18ct yellow gold case set with a champagne-coloured dial and diamond indexes. The signature fluted bezel made from yellow gold gives the watch its classic look while also connecting it to its lineage.
In terms of technical superiority, the watch comes equipped with a screw-down winding crown with Rolex’s Twinlock double water-proof system and the Calibre 2236 movement with a power reserve of 55 hours. Strapped to a presidential bracelet made out of yellow gold, the Rolex Lady-Datejust is a beautiful timepiece.

If you are on the lookout for a watch that offers more than just aesthetics and technical innovation, then the Fossil X Cedella Marley limited edition collection is the one for you.

The watch is inspired by Cedella’s father, Bob Marley, his hit single “One Love,” and her Jamaican heritage. The timepiece is a reimagined limited edition of the Carlier platform and features the “One Love” lyric, heart design and a specially designed caseback with Cedella’s signature.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka
Are you passionate about fashion and design, and maybe about tennis? In that
case, the newly released TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Naomi Osaka watch is the
one you need this International Women’s Day.
Designed in close communication with the tennis star herself, the new timepiece comes in “Naomi colours”. It features different shades of green on the dial and the strap – a design element personally chosen by tennis pro. Why? The colour green represents a reminder of tennis and brings Osaka back to her love of nature. The dial features elements in honour of her two great passions – tennis and nature. It includes two different shades of green – the pale green colour forming a wave pattern and a different shade present on the five-minute markers. The octagonal hour markers are made of diamonds.
More green is added to the watch via its two strap options. They are both available in green rubber straps and an additional one made from fishing nets that are 100 percent recyclable. Other elements include Naomi’s official logo – a teddy bear holding a flower carved on the caseback and the watch’s packaging.
