These days, watch bands are made of various types of materials. Aside from the more common metal and leather, plastic and rubber have also been employed by manufacturers as attachments to watch cases. Recently, however, another material has gained popularity: ceramic. Unlike the ceramic that is utilized in making kitchenware, the kind used for watches is known as hi-tech ceramic. It is extremely tough and durable, lightweight, comfortable to wear, scratch-resistant, rust-resistant, inert, and visually appealing; characteristics that make it ideal for watchmaking. Below are 7 ladies’ watches that showcase the amazing qualities of a ceramic bracelet.
Anne Klein AK/1018BKBK
A link bracelet made of black ceramic makes this women’s dress watch super elegant, especially with the gold tone jewelry clasp attached to it. The case, which also has a golden hue, is fabricated from polished brass. Matching the color of the ceramic bracelet is a black dial accented with an eye-catching diamond at the 12th hour mark. Also displayed on the minimalist watch face are baton-shaped indices that mark the quarter hours and gold tone central hands. Protecting the dial is a durable mineral crystal lens, anchored by a top ring made of brass.
Swiss Legend 20050-WWSR
With the Swiss Legend 20050-WWSR, a white ceramic bracelet is matched with a round, stainless steel and ceramic case to create a chic timepiece. A mother-of-pearl dial adds luster to the watch façade, along with the other components found on the analog display. These include silver tone Roman numeral hour markers, black minute indices, sword-shaped hands and a rectangular date window. Despite its ultra feminine look, this watch is designed for resilience, pairing scratch-resistant ceramic with an equally scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and durable stainless steel. Moreover, it is fitted with a quartz movement for precision timekeeping; and is water resistant to 30 meters.
Fossil CE1081
To make a bold fashion statement, wear the Fossil CE1081 on your wrist. This timepiece will never go unnoticed, with a crystal-embellished watch face that is made more lustrous by a white ceramic, triple-link bracelet. The Roman numeral hour markers on the dial provide a hint of vintage, their silver tone hue matching the central hands as well as the markings and hands on the 3 sub-dials. Evidently, great design is not the only quality that this watch possesses. Aside from telling time, it features day and date complications and a secondary 24-hour time display. Moreover, it makes use of an accurate quartz movement and is water resistant to 100 meters.
Invicta 0728
The Invicta 0728 clearly demonstrates that ceramic and brilliant white stones go well together. A black, link-style ceramic strap with a butterfly clasp is attached to a black ceramic and stainless steel case, topped by a bezel embellished with diamonds. The blue hue of the mother-of-pearl dial provides the ideal backdrop to highlight the silver tone, baguette-shaped hour markers and silver tone hands. Also shown is a date display and trio of sub-dials that serve as 60-second and 30-minute timers, and a day-of-the-week indicator.
Akribos XXIV AK484WT-N
The AK484WT-N is Akribos XXIV’s version of the white women’s ceramic watch, featuring innovative details. Its stainless steel and ceramic case encloses a unidirectional steel bezel, topped by white ceramic ring that displays a 0-60 scale. The eye-catching analog display is divided into 2 sections. An inner dial, made of mother-of-pearl, is encircled by the minute indices in black, which is the color donned by the hour, minute and second hands. Enamel is the material used for the outer dial that contains 8 genuine diamonds, used as hour markers along with Arabic numerals. This timepiece utilizes a quartz movement for keeping track of time; however, it is not water resistant, so contact with water should be avoided.
Stuhrling 630.03
This timepiece artistically combines white ceramic with rose gold. The stainless steel case is layered with 16K rose gold, topped by a bezel embellished with Swarovski crystals. More brilliant stones adorn the analog display, embedded on the rose gold tone outline around the inner dial. Applied Roman numerals, also in rose gold tone, serve as hour markers, their elongated style complementing the sunburst pattern that radiates from the center of the dial. Providing more details are the rose gold tone central hands, whose time telling capabilities are powered by a Swiss quartz movement.
Lucien Piccard LP-10222-BKBGA
The Lucien Piccard LP-10222-BKBGA makes use of the contrasting but eye-catching black and gold color combination. Paired with the sleek, black ceramic bracelet is a round, gold tone stainless steel case. A similar pairing is exhibited by the dual-tone bezel, which anchors the Sapphitek crystal that protects the watch face. Staying consistent with the color theme is the analog display showing a black mother-of-peal dial with gold tone accents; exhibited by the time indices, central hands and date window. More gold tone details are provided by the lugs and ridged crown, adding to the timepiece’s elegant flair.
