The new 888 38mm with its charming dial, stainless steel case and bracelet and a high-quality quartz movement – each packed with an abundance of details – punches well above its price of CHF 1,400. Add to all this the iconic Ralph Lauren name, and you have a versatile dress watch that would be compelling in a variety of situations. A first-dress watch for a young enthusiast, a stylish watch for a collector who does not have a significant budget, a gift for a loved one, or simply an accessory for the sartorially inclined (it is a Ralph Lauren after all). The 888 38mm with bracelet will certainly bring a smile to its wearer.
