This timepiece’s smart, silver finish draws your eye across the bracelet’s alternating metal links and circular brushed steel dial. A silver matte finish at the dial’s core calls your attention back to center.  With polished hour markers interspersed between tidy rows of minute makers and a date window at 3 o’clock, this watch reads easily and gracefully.

This timepiece’s strength lies in its sleek simplicity.  The rectangular links act as natural accents to the round watch face.  The Gucci Men’s G Class watch is available with an extra large extra large case (38.2 mm) or small (28 mm).  The size you choose will affect this watch’s impact on your wrist, but whatever size you select, you’ll communicate a refined sense of style.  Backed by the Swiss made seal and Gucci’s tested artistry, at $995, this watch is a simple, but solid value.  If you want to add a little more flare to the design, this collection’s variations are worth a look.  A similar model with diamond hour markers against a black dial puts you over the $1000 mark, but not without sparkling compensation.  Another collection variation hovers around the same price, but includes a gold bezel, crown, and accented gold rows across the bracelet.
