Gucci G-Timeless YA126410 Review

0 Comment

Written by: Garrett Miller

Italian fashion authority Gucci is reviving the classic aesthetics of men’s and women’s watches as part of their “G-Timeless” product line. Now you can own a piece of the past in the form of a dazzling new watch. With that in mind, feast your eyes on the G-Timeless YA126410. This gorgeous timepiece features a two-toned band with silver polished and red gold PVD steel. These gleaming metals contrast sharply with the sleek black dial and minimalistic gold markings which, along with the luminous red gold hands, positively pop off the watch’s face.

Each watch in the “G-Timeless” collection features the classic “G” logo sweeping around the perimeter of the dial. In the case of the G-Timeless YA126410, we find a dark black “G” cutting through the background of a lighter, more textured black dial. This watch would make the perfect gift for any man looking to make his look a bit more classical. Or, perhaps as the Gucci House would say, a bit more “Timeless.”

Drawbacks:

While there is nothing technically wrong with the watch, I personally think the G-Timeless YA126410 straddles the line between men’s and women’s watch a bit too finely. Although advertised as a men’s watch, the rose gold and the relatively thin bracelet and small dial suggest this watch could also be complementary to certain women’s outfits. The buyer can decide for him/herself whether or not this is truly a downside, though.

The Bottom Line

The G-Timeless YA126410 has a really beautiful, classic look for a watch, and it is reasonably priced at $995. If you are seeking a timepiece that you can wear to work every day, out to dinner, or just relax at home with, the G-Timeless would make a great addition to your ensemble.
