10 Minimalist Watches You Can Wear With Any Outfit
IMAGE RADO, GUCCI, HERMESThese are all worth the investment.
Watches aren't normally something you'd hesitate to repeat. Unlike garments, you wouldn't worry about wearing the same watch seven days in a row. In fact, the expectation is that the timepiece you choose to invest in will last years, or even a lifetime, surviving different seasons and wardrobe turnovers. The goal of any watch shopper is to land a top-grade timepiece that'll go with any outfit, and still serve as a sophisticated statement without sticking out like a sore thumb.
If you need a go-to watch that you'll be able to wear anywhere, check out our easy-to-style, minimalist picks below.
10 Women's Minimalist Watches That Will Go With Any Outfit:
1. Swatch Overwhite
God's really in the details. Check out how the dial rim of the Swatch Overwhite overlaps the hour markers. It's edgy, but it's not on-the-nose or gauche. "Minimalist" doesn't have to mean boring, and this sporty watch is proof.

2. Omega De Ville Ladymatic
If you can't decide between silver or gold, simply go for both. Once you decide to invest in a luxury watch, you'll definitely want to cop one that'll go with all the precious metals already in your closet, since it would be such a shame for them to clash. This leather-strapped timepiece from Omega is sophisticated and totally feminine, and the white strap's the perfect companion to the elegant, diamond-encrusted dial.

3. Gucci Diamantissima
Minimalist doesn't equate to white. Black is just as sleek, and paired with this vibrant, orangey gold tone, it comes off as rather sultry. The thin strap and small crown on this Gucci timepiece ensure that it won't look bulky on your wrist. You can wear this with a black satin slip dress, a sharp suit, or even a super casual black tee-and-jeans combo. Trust, us, it'll elevate virtually any outfit.
Okay, this is the most maximalist pick on the list, but we argue that the sleek, bare strap balances out the dial's intricate details. The clover that frames the dial is emblematic of Louis Vuitton, so the lack of a loud logo is justified. (The logo does in fact appear, but it's pleasantly discreet.) The cool-toned gold complements white excellently, so this will be a great choice for those whose wardrobes contain plenty of white pieces.

5. Citizen
There's never any harm in an all-gold watch—they make such refined accessories. They're cool and buttery on the eyes, and arguably have a more opulent look than gold watches with white dials. This piece from Citizen features a perfectly round watch head with a traditional dial design. Free from kitsch or distracting ornamentation, this watch will suit fashionistas with a taste for the classy Parisian aesthetic.

6. Rado True Thinline Stillness
The first of the two Rado recommendations on this list is the True Thinline Stillness model, an ivory watch totally void of hour markers. Its minimalism is rather ghostly, and that's what we think makes it unique. The fact that the hands are so small and the dial so broad makes for a dramatic, fashionable look. Imagine this with an all-black outfit. Stunning!

7. Rado True Square Formafantasma
The second Rado is the True Square Formafantasma. Its clunky windmill-meets-birdbox design is rather exquisite. This one's definitely not for everyone, but it's certainly a minimalist pick that's anything but lackluster.

8. Tom Ford 001
The rectangular 001 by Tom Ford has an endearingly newspaper-y analog design that heavily contrasts the mood of the woven leather bracelet. If count yourself as a fan of the extremely au courant intrecciato weave bags, this is definitely the watch for you.

9. Lacoste
Not into black or white? Opt for a pinkish nude bracelet. The proverbial Lacoste croc makes an appearance on this silver-cased timepiece. Overall, this is a more youthful item that will suit everything from sundresses to athleisure.

10. Hermès
Last but not the least, we have this Grecian timepiece from Hermès. The details on this piece are quite riveting: The watch hands sit on a sunrise pattern, the hour markers are framed diamonds, and the case takes the shape of the brand's iconic buckle. This piece speaks prestige and sophisticated without being over-the-top.
