My wife is also getting into watches, yay!

She loves the look of white and gold/rose gold. What options are there in the £300-£800 range that would look sort of like this? (no 'homages') Doesn't have to be a diver either.

Something that has at least some horology behind it.

Thanks.

The Certina and Tissot are both nice, same with the Hamilton. At this price range should I worry about the auto movement accuracy or go quartz?

Ideally I wanted to get her something with an auto movement, it's a shame the Hamilton isn't. It's my preferred brand of the three, but expensive for a quartz no?

Careful buying an automatic for a lady, in my experience they don’t always appreciate the mechanism and would rather have something that tells the right time, even after it has been unworn for a while.
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
