Diamond Watches

Diamond Watches at Grand Caliber

Diamond watches, above all, bring together two of the finest crafts in luxury, which are watchmaking and gem setting. So a single piece can be a precise tool and a fine jewel at the same time. Some add just a few diamond hour markers, while others cover the bezel, dial and bracelet in stones. Either way, the best diamond watches catch the light in a way no other watch can, especially in the sun.

Grand Caliber is a trusted source for pre-owned diamond watches, and we also serve buyers across the United States and beyond. This collection brings together the great names of the field, such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Cartier. It also covers Hublot, Ulysse Nardin and de Grisogono, as well as rare gem-set pieces.

Every one of our diamond watches is checked in-house before it goes online. We also tell you clearly whether the diamonds are factory-set by the brand, because that detail matters a great deal.

Make an Offer is also open on every listing.

Our clients come to diamond watches for many reasons, so no two visits look the same. Some want a gift for a milestone, while others want a watch with real presence. Some also want a subtle touch of sparkle for daily wear. Either way, our talk about diamond watches starts with how you live rather than what is trending.

What Defines Diamond Watches

Diamond watches use real diamonds as part of the design, so they sit where fine jewelry meets fine watchmaking. However, the amount and the placement of the stones vary a great deal. The way the stones are set also matters, too. So here are the traits that define quality diamond watches.

Where the Diamonds Go

Diamonds can sit on the dial, for example, the bezel, the case, the lugs or the bracelet. The most subtle option is a set of diamond hour markers, while a diamond bezel adds far more sparkle. A pavé dial, however, is covered in small stones. Finally, a fully set watch adds diamonds almost everywhere. So the placement shapes the whole look of the watch.

Quality of the Stones

The quality of the diamonds also matters, just as it does in a ring. Experts also judge stones by cut, color, clarity and carat, which are known as the four Cs. Top brands use only high-grade natural diamonds, so the stones match closely in color and sparkle. As a result, a factory-set watch shines evenly across every stone.

The Craft of Gem Setting

Setting diamonds into a watch is also slow, skilled work. The setter must drill or cut each seat, then fit the stone and secure it with tiny prongs or grains of metal. The stones must also sit at the same height, because uneven stones catch the light poorly. In fact, a fully set bezel can take many hours to finish by hand.

Precious Metals

Most fine diamond watches use gold or platinum, because those metals suit stones so well. Yellow gold gives a warm glow, while white gold and platinum make diamonds look even brighter. Rose gold also adds a soft, modern tone. Still, many brands also set diamonds on steel, such as on the Rolex Datejust with a white gold bezel.

Factory-Set and Aftermarket Diamonds

This is the most important topic in diamond watches, so it deserves its own section. A diamond watch can have stones set by the brand, or stones added later by a third party. The two may look similar at a glance, too. However, they differ greatly in quality, warranty and long-term value.

What Factory-Set Means

Factory-set diamonds, firstly, are chosen, graded and set by the watch brand itself. Rolex, for example, has its own gem-setting workshops and gemologists, so every stone is checked before it is set. The stones also match the design exactly, because the dial and bezel are built for them. As a result, factory-set diamond watches keep their full brand warranty and their collector appeal.

What Aftermarket Means

Aftermarket diamonds, however, are added by an outside jeweler after the watch leaves the brand. Some are well done, although many use lower-grade stones or crude settings. The work may also require drilling into the case or replacing the dial. So brands such as Rolex will not service a watch with non-original parts, and the warranty is lost.

How to Tell the Difference

Still, there are clues that help you spot the difference. Factory-set dials have crisp, correct brand printing, while factory bezels have clean, even settings. Papers may also list the gem-set reference, such as the "RBR" suffix that Rolex uses for diamond bezels. Still, the safest route is to buy from a dealer who checks every stone and states the origin clearly. At Grand Caliber, we also always tell you whether the stones on our diamond watches are factory-set.

A Brief History of Diamond Watches

The history of diamond watches is, in fact, as old as the wristwatch itself. Many of the first wristwatches, for example, were jeweled bracelets made for women. So the story moves from royal jewels to Art Deco icons, and then to modern sport watches set with stones. So here is how diamond watches came to be.

The First Jeweled Wristwatches

In the 1800s, most men carried pocket watches, while wristwatches were seen as jewelry for women. So many early wristwatches were gold bracelets set with diamonds and other stones. Patek Philippe, for example, made one of the first Swiss wristwatches in 1868 for a Hungarian countess. So these pieces were jewels first and timekeepers second.

The Art Deco Era

Later, in the 1920s and 1930s, the Art Deco style brought bold shapes and bright stones. Cartier, in particular, created jeweled watches with platinum cases and diamond settings. Many cocktail watches from this era also hid the dial under a jeweled cover. As a result, the period gave us some of the most beautiful diamond watches ever made.

Diamonds Meet the Modern Wristwatch

After the war, men's watches began to take diamonds, too. Rolex launched the Day-Date in 1956, and it soon offered diamond-set dials and bezels in gold and platinum. Other houses also added gem-set versions of their classic models. So diamonds moved from purely jewelry watches to serious mechanical watches.

The Rise of Gem-Set Sport Watches

Later, brands began to set diamonds on sport watches, which surprised many buyers. Rolex added gem-set Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master models, while Patek Philippe set diamonds on the Nautilus. Audemars Piguet and Hublot also built bold diamond versions of the Royal Oak and the Big Bang. As a result, diamonds became part of the sport watch world.

Diamond Watches Today

Today, diamond watches also range from a few discreet markers to fully set high-jewelry pieces. Many brands also use colored stones, such as sapphires and rubies, alongside diamonds. The rainbow Daytona, for example, uses a bezel of colored sapphires. So buyers have more choice than ever, from subtle to spectacular.

Types of Diamond Watches

Not all diamond watches look alike, so it helps to know the main styles. Some add just a hint of sparkle, while others are covered in stones. So here is a guide to the main types of diamond watches you will find in our collection.

Diamond Hour Markers

Diamond hour markers, firstly, replace the usual metal markers with small stones. So the watch keeps a classic look, while it adds a quiet sparkle. The Rolex Datejust with a diamond dial is, of course, a classic example. So these diamond watches are a great choice for daily wear.

Diamond Bezels

A diamond bezel, meanwhile, sets a ring of stones around the crystal. It adds far more sparkle than markers alone, while still keeping the dial easy to read. Rolex, Patek Philippe and Cartier also offer diamond bezels on some of their most famous models. So a diamond bezel is one of the most popular ways to wear stones on a watch.

Pavé Diamond Dials

A pavé dial, however, is covered in small diamonds set close together. It creates a bright, glittering surface, especially in sunlight. Many pavé dials also pair with a diamond bezel for a bold look. So these diamond watches suit buyers who want real presence on the wrist.

Fully Set Diamond Watches

Fully set diamond watches also add stones to the case, the lugs and sometimes the bracelet. They are true high-jewelry pieces, so they are often made in small numbers. Audemars Piguet, Hublot and de Grisogono, for example, offer bold, fully set designs. As a result, these are the most striking diamond watches you can own.

Gem-Set Sport Watches

Gem-set sport watches, meanwhile, mix a tough design with fine stones. The gold Submariner with a sapphire and diamond bezel, for example, keeps its dive watch function. The Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Royal Oak Offshore also come in diamond versions. Our sport watches collection also shows more options.

Women's Diamond Watches

Women's diamond watches also range from small jeweled pieces to bold sport models. The Rolex Lady-Datejust and the Cartier Santos, for instance, offer classic diamond options. Many women also choose men's or mid-size models with diamond bezels. So the field offers styles for every taste.

Guide to Diamond Watch Key Terms

Diamond watches come with their own language, so a few key terms make shopping easier. Once you know them, you can also compare pieces with confidence. Here are the terms that come up most often when we talk about diamond watches.

Stone and Cut Terms for Diamond Watches

A brilliant cut is a round stone with many facets, so it sparkles brightly. A baguette, however, is a long, rectangular stone with a sleek, modern look. Carat is the weight of a diamond, while clarity describes how free it is of flaws. Finally, color grades describe how white a diamond looks.

Setting Terms for Diamond Watches

Pavé setting places many small stones close together, while a channel setting holds stones in a metal track. Prong settings also use tiny metal claws to grip each stone. Snow setting, meanwhile, mixes stones of different sizes to cover a surface completely. In short, the setting shapes how a diamond watch catches the light.

Reference and Origin Terms for Diamond Watches

Factory-set means the brand set the stones, while aftermarket means a third party added them. Rolex uses codes such as "RBR" for a diamond bezel and "SABR" for sapphire and diamond versions. Gem-set also simply means a watch set with precious stones. So these terms help you understand exactly what you are buying.

Looking to Sell Your Diamond Watches

Grand Caliber buys diamond watches every day, so selling to us is simple. Firstly, call, text or email us with the brand, model, year and condition.

Many clients also trade diamond watches toward another piece in our stock. In many cases, a trade is the easiest way to move from one watch to the next, because it saves time on both sides.

The Brands That Define Diamond Watches

Many brands make diamond watches, although a handful have shaped the field more than the rest. Each one also brings its own style. So here is a closer look at the makers you will find most often in our collection of diamond watches.

Rolex

Rolex is, above all, the most popular name in diamond watches, and it sets its own stones in-house. The Datejust offers diamond dials and bezels in steel and gold, while the Day-Date comes only in gold or platinum. Both are classics, so they suit both daily wear and special events.

Rolex also offers gem-set sport models. The Submariner with a sapphire and diamond bezel, for instance, is a striking take on a dive watch. The Daytona and the GMT-Master II also come in gem-set versions. As a result, Rolex covers nearly every style of diamond watches.

Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe made one of the first Swiss wristwatches in 1868, and it has set stones ever since. Today, the Nautilus with a diamond bezel is one of its most wanted models, especially in white gold. Patek also makes elegant gem-set Calatrava and Twenty~4 models. So Patek offers some of the most refined diamond watches in the world.

Audemars Piguet

Audemars Piguet also sets diamonds on its famous Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore. Some models add a diamond bezel, while others are fully set, including the bracelet. Limited editions also push the design even further. So AP offers bold diamond watches with real sport watch roots.

Cartier

Cartier is one of the great jewelers, so diamonds are part of its DNA. It created many of the finest Art Deco diamond watches, and it still offers gem-set Santos, Panthère and Ballon Bleu models. The Santos with diamonds, for example, mixes a classic square case with fine stones. As a result, Cartier remains a top name for diamond watches.

Hublot

Hublot also uses diamonds to make its bold Big Bang even bolder. Many models add diamond bezels, while jewelry editions set stones across the whole case. Hublot also mixes diamonds with ceramic, titanium and gold. So Hublot suits buyers who want a modern, high-impact diamond watch.

de Grisogono and Ulysse Nardin

De Grisogono, meanwhile, became famous for its daring use of black and white diamonds. The Tondo, for instance, pairs a curved case with bold stone settings. Meanwhile, Ulysse Nardin has even used synthetic diamond inside the movement of its famous Freak. So both brands show how creative diamond watches can be.

How Diamonds Are Graded in Diamond Watches

The stones in diamond watches are also judged by the same four Cs used for any fine diamond. So it helps to know what each one means. The stones in a watch are often small, although their quality still shows in every flash of light. So here is a simple guide.

Cut

Cut describes how well a diamond is shaped and polished, so it controls how much the stone sparkles. A well-cut diamond bounces light back to the eye, while a poor cut looks dull. Top brands use precise cuts, especially on bezels where every stone sits side by side. In fact, cut matters more than size in most diamond watches.

Color

Color grades, meanwhile, describe how white a diamond looks. The best stones look icy and clear, while lower grades show a faint yellow tint. In diamond watches, the stones must also match one another, because a single off-color stone stands out. So brands sort their stones carefully before setting them.

Clarity

Clarity, in short, describes how free a diamond is from tiny flaws inside or on the surface. High-clarity stones also look clean and bright, even under a loupe. Luxury brands use high-clarity stones, so the sparkle stays even across the whole watch. As a result, clarity is one of the clearest signs of quality in diamond watches.

Carat

Carat is the weight of a diamond, rather than its size alone. Most stones in diamond watches are small, so the total carat weight is often listed for the whole watch. A fully set piece may carry several carats in total, while a dial with markers may carry well under one. So carat weight helps you compare how much diamond each watch carries.

Lab-Grown Diamonds and Moissanite in Watches

Lab-grown diamonds and moissanite are, of course, now common in the wider jewelry market. So buyers often ask how they fit into luxury diamond watches. Here is what you should know before you shop.

What Lab-Grown Diamonds Are

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds made in a lab rather than mined from the earth. They have the same structure as natural diamonds, so they look the same to the eye. However, the top watch brands still use natural diamonds in their factory-set pieces. So lab-grown stones usually signal an aftermarket watch rather than a factory one.

What Moissanite Is

Moissanite, however, is a different gemstone that looks similar to a diamond. It has strong sparkle, although it shows more rainbow color than a diamond does. Moissanite is common in aftermarket and fashion watches, too. So it is important to know exactly which stones a watch carries before you buy.

Why Factory Natural Diamonds Matter

Factory-set natural diamonds keep the brand warranty, as well as the full collector appeal. They are also checked and graded by the brand's own experts. As a result, they remain the gold standard in luxury diamond watches. At Grand Caliber, we also always tell you exactly what kind of stones our diamond watches carry.

Choosing the Right Amount of Sparkle

The right amount of sparkle, of course, depends on your style and how you plan to wear the watch. So it helps to think in three simple levels. Each one has its own appeal, too.

Subtle Diamond Watches

Subtle diamond watches, firstly, use diamond hour markers or a small accent of stones. They look classic from a distance, while they reveal their sparkle up close. So they suit the office, daily wear and buyers who prefer quiet luxury. A Datejust with a diamond dial, for example, is a perfect choice.

Balanced Diamond Watches

Balanced diamond watches, meanwhile, add a diamond bezel to a classic dial. They catch more light, although they still feel refined. So they work well for both daily wear and special events. In fact, many buyers find this is the sweet spot among diamond watches.

Bold Diamond Watches

Bold diamond watches, finally, use pavé dials, fully set cases or gem-set bracelets. They make a strong statement, so they suit buyers who love to stand out. They also shine at evening events and celebrations. In short, bold diamond watches are true jewels for the wrist.

Famous Moments for Diamond Watches

Diamond watches have also been part of some memorable moments in style. Their stories add meaning to every piece, so buyers love to know them. So here are a few moments that made diamond watches famous.

Royal and Society Jewels

Early diamond watches, of course, were made for royalty and high society. Jewelers such as Cartier created pieces for famous clients, so these watches became symbols of status. Many are also now prized by museums and collectors. As a result, the link between diamonds and prestige began long ago.

Diamonds on the Silver Screen

Film stars also helped make diamond watches famous. Glamorous jeweled watches appeared in classic Hollywood films, while modern stars wear gem-set sport watches on red carpets. So diamond watches have long been part of celebrity style. In fact, a single red carpet moment can make a model famous overnight.

Diamonds in Modern Culture

In recent years, diamond watches have also become part of music and sports culture. Athletes and artists, for example, often wear gem-set Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Hublot models. So the diamond watch has moved from the ballroom to the stadium. Still, the classic diamond Datejust remains as popular as ever.

Discontinued and Vintage Diamond Watches

Vintage diamond watches are also a rich area for collectors. They show how styles have changed over the decades, while many feature craft that is rare today. So the best vintage examples draw strong interest. So here are some of the highlights.

Vintage Rolex Diamond Watches

Vintage Rolex diamond watches are especially popular. Older Datejust models with factory diamond dials, such as the 16233 and 16013, have a strong following. Vintage Day-Date models with diamond dials and bezels are also highly prized, too. So these pieces bring classic Rolex style with a touch of sparkle.

Art Deco Diamond Watches

Art Deco diamond watches from the 1920s and 1930s, above all, are true works of art. Many use platinum cases with fine diamond settings, while others hide the dial under a jeweled cover. Cartier pieces from this era are especially sought after. So these watches appeal to buyers who love history and design.

Earlier Gem-Set Sport Models

Earlier gem-set sport models are also gaining fans. Past diamond versions of the Submariner, the Daytona and the Royal Oak, for instance, show how brands first mixed sport and sparkle. Many were made in small numbers, so they are hard to find. As a result, they remain favorites with collectors who want something rare.

Expert Opinions on Diamond Watches

Watch experts, in fact, often say that the best diamond watches balance sparkle with good taste. They point out that factory-set stones always look better than aftermarket ones, because they match the design. Many also love diamond markers as a subtle entry point. Meanwhile, others praise fully set pieces as true high jewelry.

Experts also tend to agree on a few simple points. Firstly, always confirm whether the diamonds are factory-set, because it affects warranty and value. Secondly, check the stones and settings closely, especially on pre-owned pieces. Finally, buy from a dealer who knows both watches and diamonds. In fact, that advice holds whether you are buying your first diamond watch or your tenth.

Diamond Watch Price Trends

Factory-set diamond watches have also shown real staying power over time. Gem-set Rolex Day-Date and Datejust models remain in steady demand, while diamond versions of the Nautilus and the Royal Oak draw strong interest. Rare gem-set sport watches are also highly sought after. Meanwhile, vintage factory diamond pieces stay popular with collectors.

Several things also support that appeal. Factory gem setting is slow and costly, so supply is limited. Precious metals and fine stones also add lasting worth. As a result, a well-chosen factory diamond watch can bring both joy and lasting value. Our team can also explain which models have held up best over time.

Limited Editions and High Jewelry Diamond Watches

Some diamond watches, however, are made in very small numbers. These pieces stand apart from the standard catalog, so they often appeal to serious collectors. Here, then, are the main types you will see.

Limited Edition Diamond Watches

Limited edition diamond watches also often mark a special event or design idea. Audemars Piguet, for example, has made limited diamond Royal Oak Offshore models. Hublot also releases rare jewelry editions of the Big Bang. So limited editions let you own diamond watches with a story of their own.

High Jewelry Watches

High jewelry diamond watches, meanwhile, are the most lavish pieces a brand can make. They may use hundreds of diamonds, as well as rare colored stones. Many are also made as one-off pieces. As a result, they sit at the very top of the world of diamond watches.

Colored Gemstone Watches

Some diamond watches also mix diamonds with sapphires, rubies or emeralds. The rainbow Daytona, for example, uses a bezel of colored sapphires, while other models use rubies for a bold red accent. These pieces are rare, so they often appeal to buyers who want something truly special. Our gold watches collection also shows more precious metal options.

Popular Diamond Watch Comparisons

Buyers often weigh one style against another, so here are the comparisons we hear most. Each choice has strengths, too, which means the right one depends on your taste and budget. Our team is also glad to put any of these diamond watches side by side for you.

Factory-Set vs Aftermarket Diamonds

Factory-set diamonds are chosen and set by the brand, so they keep the warranty and the full collector appeal. Aftermarket diamonds, however, are added later by a third party. They may cost less at first, although they usually reduce long-term value. So for most buyers, factory-set is the smarter choice.

Diamond Markers vs Diamond Bezel

Diamond markers add a quiet sparkle, while a diamond bezel makes a bolder statement. Markers also suit daily wear and the office, since they stay subtle. A bezel, however, catches far more light. So the choice comes down to how much sparkle you want.

Rolex Datejust vs Day-Date with Diamonds

The Datejust is offered in steel and gold, so it is the more accessible diamond Rolex. The Day-Date, however, comes only in gold or platinum, and it shows the day of the week in full. Both offer diamond dials and bezels, too. In the end, the Datejust wins on value, while the Day-Date wins on prestige.

White Gold vs Yellow Gold Diamond Watches

White gold makes diamonds look icy and bright, while yellow gold gives a warm, classic glow. Rose gold also offers a soft, modern middle ground. Each looks great with diamonds, although white metals tend to make stones look larger. So try each tone against your skin before you choose.

Diamond Watch Features

Beyond the stones, however, diamond watches differ in many small ways. Dial style, movement, size and bracelet also change how a watch looks and feels. So it helps to know your options before you choose. So here is a quick guide to the main features of diamond watches.

Diamond Watch Dials

Diamond dials come in many colors, such as black, blue, silver, champagne and mother-of-pearl. Mother-of-pearl is especially popular, because its soft shimmer pairs beautifully with diamonds. Pavé dials, meanwhile, cover the surface in stones. So the dial often sets the whole mood of the watch.

Diamond Watch Movements

Fine diamond watches also use the same movements as their plain versions. Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet use their own in-house automatic movements, for example. Some jewelry watches also use quartz movements, especially in smaller sizes. So a diamond watch can be a serious mechanical watch as well as a jewel.

Diamond Watch Sizes

Diamond watches generally range from about 26mm for small ladies' models to over 44mm for bold sport pieces. Many popular diamond watches, however, sit between 31mm and 41mm. So try the size on your wrist, because diamonds can make a watch look larger than it is.

Diamond Watch Bracelets

Many diamond watches come on metal bracelets, such as the Rolex Jubilee and President bracelets. Some bracelets are also set with stones, which adds even more sparkle. Leather and rubber straps, meanwhile, give a more relaxed look. So the bracelet can change the whole feel of the watch.

Questions to Ask Before Buying Diamond Watches

Buying diamond watches is easy when you ask the right questions. So here are the ones our team hears most, along with what to look for. They also apply whether you shop with us or elsewhere.

Firstly, ask whether the diamonds are factory-set or added later, because this affects warranty and value more than anything else. Then ask whether the papers list the gem-set reference. Also ask about the condition of the settings, as well as whether any stones have been replaced. Finally, ask about service history, especially for older diamond watches.

It also helps to see the watch in natural light, because diamonds look different under store lights and daylight. So ask for photos or a video in daylight if you are buying from afar. In addition, check that the stones match in color and size across the bezel and dial. In fact, a good dealer will welcome every one of these questions about diamond watches.

Caring for Diamond Watches

Diamond watches need a little extra care, because the stones and settings need attention as well as the movement. So a few simple habits keep them looking their best. Here, then, is how to care for your diamond watch.

Cleaning Diamond Watches

Lotions, soap and skin oils, for example, can dull diamonds over time. So clean your watch gently with a soft brush and mild soapy water, as long as the watch is water-resistant. Then rinse it and dry it with a soft cloth. In fact, a quick clean can bring back much of the sparkle.

Checking the Settings

Stones can loosen over time, especially after hard knocks. So check the settings now and then, or have a jeweler or watchmaker inspect them. A loose stone is easy to fix, although a lost stone is harder to match. Our team can also inspect any diamond watch when you visit.

Storing Diamond Watches

Diamonds can scratch other watches and jewelry, because they are the hardest natural material. So store your diamond watch in its own soft pouch or box slot. Also keep it away from hard surfaces when you take it off. As a result, both the watch and your other pieces stay in great shape.

How to Wear Diamond Watches

Diamond watches are more versatile than many people think. A subtle diamond dial works every day, while a bold bezel suits special events. So here are a few simple tips for wearing diamond watches well.

Diamond Watches Every Day

For daily wear, of course, diamond markers or a small diamond bezel work best. A steel and gold Datejust with a diamond dial, for example, looks refined without being loud. It also pairs well with business and casual clothes. So a subtle diamond watch can easily be your daily watch.

Diamond Watches for Evenings and Events

For evenings and special events, however, diamond watches truly shine. A gold Day-Date with a diamond bezel, for instance, looks perfect with a suit or tuxedo. A pavé dial also catches the light beautifully at night. As a result, a diamond watch is often the piece people choose for weddings, galas and celebrations.

Pairing Diamond Watches with Jewelry

When you pair a diamond watch with jewelry, match the metal tone where you can. So a white gold watch pairs well with platinum or white gold rings, while yellow gold pairs with warm tones. Keep the rest of your jewelry simple, too, so the watch can stand out. For a more classic look, also see our dress watches collection.

Diamond Watches as Gifts

Diamond watches are also among the most meaningful gifts you can give. They mark milestones such as anniversaries, graduations, retirements and weddings. They also last for generations, so they often become family heirlooms. In fact, many of our clients choose a diamond watch to celebrate a moment they will never forget.

When you choose a diamond watch as a gift, think about the wearer's style first. A subtle diamond dial suits someone with classic taste, while a bold bezel suits someone who loves to stand out. Size also matters, so it helps to know their wrist size. Our team can also help you choose, as well as arrange a secure, insured delivery.

Building a Collection with Diamond Watches

Diamond watches also make a striking addition to any collection. Many buyers start with a subtle diamond dial, such as on a Datejust. Then they add a bolder piece, such as a diamond bezel or a gem-set sport watch. A vintage Art Deco piece also adds history. So a small group of diamond watches can cover a wide range of style.

From there, many buyers also balance their collection with plain sport and dress watches. A steel diver and a simple gold dress watch, for instance, pair well with a diamond piece. However, the diamond watch often becomes the one you save for the biggest moments. In fact, that is part of what makes it special.

Men's and Women's Diamond Watches

Diamond watches are made for everyone, so the field includes many sizes and styles. Many men, for example, choose diamond markers or a diamond bezel on a 36mm to 41mm watch. Women's diamond watches also range widely, from small jeweled pieces to bold sport models. Meanwhile, many mid-size models suit any wrist. So the best approach is to choose by fit and style rather than by label.

Diamond watches for men have also grown more popular in recent years. A gold Day-Date with a diamond bezel, for example, is a classic choice. Gem-set sport watches also offer a bold, modern option. Either way, our team can also help you find diamond watches that fit comfortably and look right.
