Chanel, oh Chanel, what influence you have had on the luxury women's watch market. Not only did you make the color white, the tone of the town, but you also opened up doors to legions of brands looking to benefit from the market of lady's (and men) who could not afford Chanel prices. At first people had little choice but to fawn over 'ye old J12,' but now that ceramic is becoming more affordable to the mainstream, most anyone can have a sexy white ceramic watch.

While the Chanel J12 (and a few others) still set the bar in terms of quality and designs, there is a huge market of white ceramic watches out there for today's woman. One here is the Rougois White Ceramic Ladies' Chronograph. Just a nice simple 40mm wide (wears a bit small) watch in white ceramic with steel accents on the case. With a price online of $239.95, you get a handsome amount for your money.

Dial is easy to read though I would have preferred the hands to be a touch longer, and with a bit more contrast. Elements are applied, and there is some lume on the dial as well. Inside the watch is a Swiss Made ISA quartz movement with a 30 minute chronograph, subsidiary seconds dial, day of the week, and the date.

Over the dial is a sapphire crystal and the ceramic bracelet is nicely tapered for a more elegant look. While the watch does not totally standout as different from its competitors, it does have a nice selection of parts, a chic look, and certainly satisfies in terms of price when it comes to getting a white ceramic woman's watch.
