There is no shortage of beautiful ladies watches, but when you are looking one that supports an active lifestyle, the list gets considerably shorter. There are only a few watches that you can take through their paces without having to think twice about it and which look good while doing so. These four, for example, got you covered!

Omega Constellation
Omega Constellation

Omega Constellation Petite Seconde
The Constellation has been one of the pillars of Omega‘s collection for years. The watches combine a natural elegance with a non-compromise construction. With the Constellation Petite Seconde, this comes not only with a small seconds hand but also with a very serious mechanical movement! Caliber 8704 is not only a co-axial automatic but also a certified Master Chronometer. On top of that, it also sports a water resistance of 10 bar.

Richard Mille RM 07-01

Richard Mille RM 07-01
High-tech elegance is probably the best way to describe the exceptional creations for ladies by Richard Mille. With this RM 07-01, its distinct tonneau case is crafted from ceramic, while the baseplate and bridges of the movement are made from grade 5 titanium. For added rigidity, they have been exposed to an electro-plasma treatment. Fast rotating mainspring barrel and rotor with variable geometry prove that this watch is high-tech in body and soul.

Jaquet Droz Manufacture Visit

Jaquet Droz Eclipse Aventurine
Diamond set and fitted with an aventurine dial is this Jaquet Droz an elegant appearance. While most will assume that the case is crafted from white gold, the brand opted for stainless steel. This makes it the perfect everyday companion, more so because it is equipped with a full calendar, which includes a pointer date and a very unique moon phase indicator. A watch with character, just like the women who choose to wear it.

rolex-lady-datejust

Rolex Lady-Datejust
A legend in watchmaking and perhaps even the most popular high-end ladies watch in history: the Lady-Datejust combines an elegant appearance with a few hallmarks that make it tough as nails! This starts of course with the Oyster-case, which not only keeps moisture out of the watch but also dust. This protects the automatic movement and allows it to do its job with the reliability and precision Rolex is known for. Combine this with the trademark sapphire crystal with date cyclops, and it is all of a sudden no mystery anymore why this watch has such a strong reputation.
