Bulova Colosseum Lady Ref. 63R117 Watch

The luxury look does not always have to hold a luxury price. The new lady's Colosseum watch (ref. 63R117) from Bulova (part of the Citizen group) is a fine looking mechanical watch with luxury accents at prices more akin to today's luxury-less budgets. Prices are about $1,000 - $1,500 for an automatic Sellita SW200 (ETA 2824-2 clone) movement, 34mm wide steel case, and a bezel with real diamonds, along with more diamonds on the face serving as half of the hour markers (other six are applied Arabic numerals).

The delicate construction of the Bulova Colosseum's multi-link bracelet will make for a very comfortable fit with a sophisticated look. I like the mother-of-pearl dial with open window to the movement's escapement. Most watches refer to this as an "open heart" window. Further positive qualities include a sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, 100 meter watch resistance, and available crocodile strap and gold-toned case options. It is important to have good looking watches like this from Bulova to ensure that the demand for timepieces is met even when less cost effective luxury brands are out of many people's minds (and budgets) - at least for now.
