Rubber B is one of the leading producers of custom rubber watch straps, and we are endlessly striving to make the world of horology a more inclusive and transparent place for everyone. This includes using our blog to help educate consumers on various facets of horology, including a focus on important current events in the world of watchmaking, the history of horology, and an understanding of how watches work on a more mechanical level.
Being that International Women’s day is just around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to focus on some excellent entry-level watches for the woman in your life – or maybe even as a gift to yourself! Below are some of Rubber B’s favorite timepieces that can serve as stepping stones to further interest in horology for your spouse, mom, sister, daughter, or other family members.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Pink Dial 31mm 277200
Rubber B offers a variety of straps for a variety of watches, some women’s favorite Rubber B watch strap choices include Jet Black Tuxedo Velour, which is a 100% rubber strap, with a velour texture incorporated into the design, and a Pink Flamingo colored strap. The Pink Flamingo watch strap perfectly pairs with the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Pink Dial.
Longines Flagship Ladies Timepiece
The Longines Flagship Ladies Timepiece is one of the flagship timepieces from the Longines Company, and upon further examination, it is not hard to see why. Starting at 26 mm, this compact and elegant timepiece is absolutely stunning, and at a cost of only $1,400, it is very affordable for those making their first foray into watch collecting. If horology is something that has previously been of interest to you but you are unsure where to begin, this timepiece is a great starting point.
Seiko Presage Cocktail Time
For those who may be looking for a women’s wristwatch which is a little more business-appropriate, the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time is one of the most well-constructed starter timepieces on the market. Seiko is a brand that has been making watches for decades, and though they started in the men’s wristwatch space, they have been making women’s timepieces for several years now. This timepiece retails for a very affordable $550.
Hamilton Boulton Mechanical
The Hamilton Boulton Mechanical may very well be the most flexible timepiece on this entire list in terms of its versatility. It is elegant enough to wear to the office or a more formal setting, but it is not gaudy or attention-drawing in any way, meaning it works perfectly for a more casual setting as well. Hamilton is a well-known American watch producer that has been crafting timepieces since the 1940’s, and this lovely Art Deco watch shows how they’ve managed to stay in business for all these years. Currently, this timepiece retails for $895.
Maurice Lacroix Les Classiques Date 40 mm
As its name implies, the Les Classiques Date 40 mm is, indeed, a classic timepiece in every sense of the word. A legacy Swiss watch brand, Maurice Lacroix has wisely seized on the fact that women are now beginning to wear larger-sized wristwatches. As a result, they have specially crafted an elegant women’s wristwatch at 40 mm, a size very commonly used with men’s wristwatches. This timepiece currently retails for $1,550.
NOMOS Tangente 101
The final wristwatch on our list, the NOMOS Tangente 101, is one of the most elegant entry-level wristwatches that Rubber B has come across in recent years. With its large and easy-to-read white dial and comfortable strap, it is hard to believe that this piece retails at only $1,600 when you take a closer look at it.
