Oris's Beautiful Women's Rectangular Diamond Watch
I think today, I’ll introduce you to Oris for women. Yes, Oris makes fantastic and stunning women’s watches. As with all the Oris lines, the Oris Rectangular Date Diamond Women’s Watch is packed with every bit of Oris ingenuity and traditional quality.
This watch, like many of Oris’s watches is a unique design. The rectangular dial has an art-deco resemblance, making it hip and chic. There are four different versions of this timepiece, but my personal pick is the 01 561 7621 4964-07 8 16 75 stainless-steel. This watch has a multi-piece stainless-steel case, topped with 42 glimmering diamonds. The dial is jet black and is in perfectly glamorous contrast to the shiny stainless-steel case. The hours are marked in graceful, overlapping script, giving off an artistic feel. The bracelet is crafted of highly-polished stainless-steel and is equipped with a butterfly folding clasp.
The Oris Rectangular Date Diamond watch is a automatic self-winding, with a bi-directional rotating red rotor (Oris’s signature). It is water-resistant to 160 feet, but I doubt you will wear this lovely watch in the pool. You will, however wear it everywhere else. This is an Oris and made with precision and quality.
This Oris women’s watch is elegant and understated, but if you desire a more sporty look…check out the black or white dial watches, that come with matching black or white leather bracelets. Any way you cut it, this is a luxurious, well-made timepiece.

This ladies watch is being offered in several versions. Whether you prefer white gold, pink gold, or traditional yellow gold…you won’t be disappointed. I believe my favorite is the Ballon Blue de Cartier Pink, it’s fresh and colorful, and has Cartier watch quality behind it. This Cartier watch has a case made from rose gold, with luxurious diamonds accenting the dial. The dial face is round is shape and is a beautiful silver/white. The hours are marked with roman numerals and the Cartier watch name is tastefully displayed. This is an all Swiss made timepiece, so quality is taken for granted. I love the traditional Cartier watch collections, but this one caught my eye, and probably yours as well. The dial is beautifully finished, the diamonds sparkle, but the deep purple leather bracelet that Cartier designers decided on…is simply the icing on the cake!
