Gucci G-Timeless Watch YA126409

Gucci’s G-Timeless collection of watches have a simple design that evokes the classic watch style with their stainless steel bracelets and bezels, clean watch face, and basic markings and functions. The Gucci G-Timeless Watch YA126409 contrasts with its silver and gold tones juxtaposed on the bracelet, bezel, and dial.

The Gucci G-Timeless Watch YA126409’s most striking feature is the patterning and color contrasts with the silver and gold stainless steel. The bracelet has standard stainless steel with a silver band inside and a gold band inside of the silver running around the bracelet. This patterning is reminiscent of Gucci’s standard green and red stripe pattern. The dial face is silver toned with a discreet diamond pattern. The hour markings are gold tone sticks, and the hour and minute hands are luminescent within gold frames. A silver band around the watch face behind the markers creates a watermark G on the watch face. While the two tone style is a departure from standard uniformity in color, the watch is consistent in its alternating of gold and silver throughout the elements of the watch.

Pros:

• Stainless steel (silver and gold tone)
• Swiss quartz movement
• Classic design and clear numbering and luminous hands
• Date function
• Scratch-resistant synthetic sapphire crystal
• Less expensive than other designer watches at $995

Cons:

• Water resistant only to 33 m/100 ft
• Gold tone stainless steel doesn’t quite look like real gold

G-Timeless 244594 I1630 8160

The Gucci G-Timeless collection stands out against the other Gucci watch lines as being the most traditional style. The rest range from more like jewelry with less functionality to being very sporty and casual. The G-Timeless watches all feature the stainless steel bracelet with a solid dial and hour markers, whereas many of the other Gucci watches have limited functionality by virtue of not having hour markers or a date display, with the exception of the digital sport watches. The G-Timeless (Gucci site model number) 244594 I1630 8160 is similar to the YA126409 with its brown dial with a diamond pattern and the G watermark around the hour markings. It is much more uniform in color with consistent stainless steel throughout the bracelet and bezel, contrasting only slightly with the rose-brown dial. This model costs slightly less at $750, but its silver and brown work together in a more complementary way than the more significantly contrasting silver and gold tones.

The Gucci G-Timeless Watch YA126409 is a classic watch with a flash that shows its Gucci affiliation with a watermark-esque G on the face and the Gucci stripe pattern interpreted in gold- and silver-toned stainless steel.
