If you are looking for a stylish watch with a totally unique look for yourself or your favorite lady, look no further than this lovely amethyst bezel watch by Bvlgari. This member of the Diagono collection, while meeting the high standards of cutting-edge technology, stands above all the rest because of its unique styling and design.

The white dial with raised decoration is completely encircled by a stainless steel bezel set with brilliant cut round amethysts. The watch positively glows with this beautiful purple halo. A comfortably wide rubber bracelet with raised stripes is secured by a brushed stainless steel ardillon buckle. The indexes are refreshingly simple silver bars except for the arabic numerals at twelve and six o’clock. At three o’clock an understated date window adds to the functionality of the watch without detracting from the look or readability of the watch face. Other outstanding features include:

• Automatic movement with 42 hour power reserve
• Scratch resistant sapphire crystal
• Water resistant to 99 feet (30 meters)
• Low profile silver hour, minute, and second hands

The unique combination of sporty styling and semi-precious stones mean this watch can go anywhere with you. The durable materials, all chosen to withstand everyday wear, will encourage you to take it everywhere you go. That’s all you need to keep the automatic movement giving you accurate time. No winding, no wondering when your battery might give out. This model does not include a chronograph, but a fellow Diagono contribution, DG40WSAWVDCH/11, does include a chronograph, with similar style and look. The chronograph complication adds significantly to the price of the watch. The relatively simple time and date model has a suggested retail price of $5850 while the chronograph model costs $9300.

Pros: The unique look of the DG35WSAWVD will help you stand out from the crowd. No one else can match this watch for style and sparkle. The clean dial is highly readable and the automatic movement keeps you on time all the time.

Cons: If you’re worried about always coordinating your timepiece with your wardrobe, the purple bezel might feel somewhat limiting. The other neutral colors of the watch balance this feature. Some cut stone set watches will snag clothing, so wear the watch with care.

Wearing this watch will convey to everyone in your social circle that you have a discerning, stylish, yet distinctly personal sense of fashion. You have chosen a watch made with durable materials like stainless steel and rubber, with fabulous looks, and a unique touch that no one can match.
