My £45 two-tone watch looks just like Zara Tindall’s £11.7k Rolex

I found the best lookalike for Zara Tindall’s go-to £11.7k Rolex watch that you can pick up for just £45, and the two-tone gold and silver timepiece nails quiet luxury on a budget

Over the years Zara Tindall has worn quite an impressive range of luxury watches, many of which happen to be from one of the most coveted timepiece brands in the world; Rolex. The equestrian and Royal became a Rolex Testimonee prior to winning individual gold at the World Equestrian Games in 2006 in Aachen, and has since been spotted in several Rolex watches, including the two-tone Lady-Datejust which comes with a huge £11,700 price tag.

Whilst I’m a big fan of Zara’s collection, I definitely won’t be affording a Rolex of my own anytime soon, which is why I was quick to snap up Sekonda’s Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone when I saw it. Priced at just £44.99, the watch embodies the classic, timeless (pardon the pun) luxury look of Zara’s designer wrist watch, without the hefty price tag.

The Sekonda watch has a slightly more slimline design compared to Zara’s Rolex, with a narrower strap and smaller dial. However it sticks to a similar design with a two-tone gold and silver metal bracelet, pale gold face and gold surround.

Obviously the Second Francis Watch isn’t made from the same materials, swapping the 18ct gold and diamonds for a stainless steel alloy and crystals, hence the much more affordable price tag. However the Sekonda watch still reflects the elegance and sophistication of the designer version, with crystals in place of numbers around the face and gold-colored accents including the dial surround and winder.

The watch is also super lightweight and comfortable to wear, and you can barely feel it on your wrist. The clasp can be a little fiddly to unlatch at first, but after a few wears it loosens up and becomes easy to do one handed, and closes super securely so you don’t need to worry about it popping open while you wear it.

It’s currently available for £44.99 on Amazon, or you can get a different colourway there Freemanswhich swaps the gold face for a silver one while maintaining the two-tone bracelet strap, although it doesn’t have the crystals around the edge. Alternatively you can pick up an all-silver version directly from the Website seconds for £39.99, which looks just like mine but without any gold details.

Alternatively, you can pick up the Mini Two Tone Pearl Link Belgravia 23 Watch at Abbott Lyon for £149. This watch features a two-tone gold and silver metal strap, in-laid crystals around the face, and has a pearl-effect dial, giving it a premium, high-end look.

However, I couldn’t be happier with mine Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone from Seconds. They also stock plenty of other great designer alternatives, letting you get that quiet luxury look on a budget.
