The G-Timeless Steel Bracelet Black Dial Automatic Watch (YA126214) is a striking luxury men's watch.

mon as you may think. If you are in the market for a new men’s watch that fits that description, you should consider the Gucci G-Timeless Steel Bracelet Black Dial Automatic Watch (YA126214).

The House of Gucci is known for its luxury creations, and the Gucci G-Timeless YA 126214 is no exception. The most striking feature of this watch is perhaps its color palette, consisting of a black diamond-pattern dial with gold and silver-tone accents and a sunbushed stainless steel case, band, and deployment clasp with Gucci text logo. The three gold-toned sunray subdials afford full chronograph functionality, and the silver-toned hands and hour indexes offer a pleasant color contrast that is easy to read against the black background. The additional seconds hand allows for even more precise timekeeping, as does the three day date display and the tachymeter on the black-plated stainless steel bezel. This G-Timeless watch is also built to last—the watch face is made from antireflective sapphire crystal, for protection from the rigors of everyday use, and the watch itself is also water-resistant to 165 feet (50 meters).

The Gucci G-Timeless Steel Bracelet Black Dial Automatic Watch also offers an impressive array of features:

• Automatic Swiss movement
• Resizable stainless steel bracelet
• Swiss craftsmanship from the renowned town of La Chaux-de-Fonds

The House of Gucci is known for dressing celebrities from Salma Hayek to Robert Pattinson and includes spokesmodels like Chris Evans and Evan Rachel Wood. When you wear this watch you will be wearing the same Gucci logo that has graced these stars and others.

Of course, this watch may not be the perfect fit for you. In particular, it lacks the following functionalities:

• Full water protection for activities like swimming, diving, and other water sports
• Sports features like a stopwatch or synthetic fiber all-weather band
• Battery-powered winding (you must invest in a watch winder if you do not plan on regularly wearing this watch)
• Accuracy on the level of Quartz movement (this watch will lose a few minutes every month)
• And, of course, the MSRP of $1,850 will put it out of budget for many consumers

If this watch isn’t the right fit for you, you can always browse variations of the G-Timeless collection; there is a wide range of sizes, colors, and movements that is sure to fit your needs. If you do purchase the Gucci G-Timeless Steel Bracelet Black Dial Automatic Watch (YA126213), however, you won’t be disappointed by its durability, practicality, and modern design.
