Sport watches are some of the best-designed timepieces the luxury watch world has to offer. Prestigious watchmakers spend decades perfecting wristwatch functions for sporting and adventure – such as racing, aviation, scuba diving, and regatta sailing. Not only do these watches offer incredible functionality, but they look amazing too.
While many luxury watch designers create their sport designs for larger wrists, there are more and more companies who have reiterated their iconic designs to make them a more accommodating accessory for women. With the number of quality options out there, it can be hard to narrow down the best.
Today, we’re making things a little easier by breaking down our favourite sporting watches for women. These watches combine functional performance with beautiful designs to create something truly special. Let’s take a look
To earn a spot on our list, these luxury watches need to check a few boxes. For one, they need to be just as functional and mechanically sound as the counterparts that were made for men. They should also come in smaller sizes to accommodate smaller wrists. Bonus points if they made the design more stylish in the process of trimming the watch down. With that being said, let’s take a look at some of these amazing options.
First up is the Omega Seamaster collection. Omega originally created the Seamaster as a regular men’s sailing watch that could stand up to an extra level of water resistance. However, that water resistance exceeded expectations when the watch survived a 62-metre dive off the Australian coast. Omega pivoted the Seamaster to a diving watch and the rest is history.
Since then, Omega has produced Omega Seamaster watches specifically with women in mind, such as the 28mm Seamaster 300 and the Aqua Terra Ladies collection. Those wanting a mix of a diving watch and a dress watch should look toward the Aqua Terra, as it incorporates precious gems and a more elegant design.
Patek Philippe is known for their incredible designs and beautiful collections. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is no exception. This diving watch draws inspiration from Patek Philippe’s Nautilus collection, though it features a more rounded, modern appearance than the signature porthole silhouette of the Nautilus. With the capability to withstand up to 120m, it’s clear that this watch’s functions are equal to its aesthetics.
Patek Philippe took the Aquanaut one step further when they introduced Aquanaut Luce specifically for women. This watch dialed up the luxury and aesthetic quality even further by outfitting the bezel with 46 diamonds and creating a smaller case size for slender wrists. The stainless steel version of the watch comes with dial colours such as black, brown, blue, or white. The rose gold version is an automatic movement while the stainless steel features a quartz movement. The Luce is truly an enviable watch from Patek Philippe’s lineup.
The Rolex Daytona hardly needs any introduction. This timepiece is one of the most well-known and popular watch models from the biggest luxury watch brand in the world. The Rolex Daytona was specifically designed with racing in mind, with a tachymeter scale included for measuring average speed and elapsed time on the track.
As always, Rolex offers plenty of variations on their most popular models. Although the Daytona is a highly coveted watch, there are many pre-owned models that can be found with smaller case sizes. There are various Daytonas in a variety of colours and materials ranging from 36mm to 39mm in size, making them a perfect solution if you’re looking for a slightly smaller watch.
Next we come to the Royal Oak from the prestigious Audemars Piguet. The Royal Oak is easily Audemars Piguet’s most popular timepiece, with an instantly recognizable octagonal bezel.
Four years after introducing the Royal Oak to the world in 1972, Audemars Piguet teamed up with Jacqueline Dimier to create the Royal Oak Lady. This watch keeps the iconic design of the Royal Oak, along with the diving watch functionality, but expanded the size options to a range from 21mm to 41mm. You can find the Royal Oak Lady in stainless steel or rose, white, and yellow gold. There are also Royal Oak Lady models that include diamonds.
Finally, we come to the Rolex Yacht-Master. If you’re someone who spends their time on the water, the stylish Rolex Yacht-Master might be your perfect match. Rolex creates plenty of variations of the Yacht-Master, with sizes ranging from 29 to 42mm.
Yacht-Masters are made with the best materials Rolex has to offer, so you can choose between gold or one of their unique two-tone options, including Everose gold, Rolesor, and Rolesium. Rolesium is especially unique, as it’s only used for Yacht-Master models. It combines Rolex’s patented stainless steel alloy with 950 platinum. Overall, this is a fantastic watch that would make a fine addition to any collection.
