Armand Nicolet SL5 Automatic Ladies' Watch

Many ladies’ watches are filled with jewels and design choices that garner a lot of attention on the wrist. Armand Nicolet’s SL5 is not one of them. Featuring a matte-colored case and a rubber strap, it’s more like a sporty diver than anything else—but that’s not to say it can’t come with on a nice outing, too. The dial is a mix of thick markers and Arabic numerals in a unique layout at 12, 4, and 8 o’clock. Pairing with the markers are thick, angular hands for legibility. Powered by Armand Nicolet’s own 21-jewel AN2846-10 automatic movement, it has a solid 48-hour power reserve. Rounding out the watch is its 100-meter water resistance rating and sapphire crystal. If you really want to dress up the SL5, one version has diamonds on the dial.
