The new colourful watch from Polo Ralph Lauren

The Polo Watch is the fashion and style icon’s new three-hander. It combines bold colours, plenty of details, an automatic movement, and an affordable price tag. It is part of Ralph Lauren’s Polo Watch Collection.


“This September, the fusion of elegance and performance comes together with the launch of the next generation of the Polo Watch Collection.”


Ralph Lauren Watches and Jewelry, a division of Polo Ralph Lauren, has just unveiled the new generation of The Polo Watch. They were recently spotted at the Ralph Lauren Spring 25’ Runway Show at the Hamptons, New York.

“The Hamptons is more than a place. It’s a natural world of endless blue skies, the ocean, green fields, and white fences, rusticity and elegance with a quality of light that drew artists here decades ago. It has been home, my refuge and always an inspiration.”Ralph Lauren

Our Thoughts

The creations of Ralph Lauren Watches and Jewelry imbibe the same sense of style and fashion that have made both Ralph Lauren the man and his namesake brand global icons. The new The Polo Watch features an abundance of dial and case details, comes with colourful straps, and powered by a robust and dependable movement, easily serviceable by a competent watchmaker worldwide. Priced at $1,690, quite affordable. Both versions pack a punch.

Both versions are fun, adventurous, and casual timepieces, perfect in most settings. I am sure the straps can be changed to fabric or leather straps, when the owner feels the orange or red rubber straps are too bright and loud. The Polo Watch is a refreshing and welcome addition to almost any timepiece collection.
