Men's Style - Rose Gold & Black Watch Trend

However, gold is starting to rise in prominence within men’s fashion again, as designers are reintroducing it into their catwalk shows and latest collections. The key is subtlety and allowing the watch to be a refined and understated finishing touch to your outfits, rather than over the top and garish.

With these concepts in mind, rose gold in particular has seen a big rise in popularity this season within the watch collections. The reddish tint of rose gold gives each individual piece a slightly different (note: more subtle) glow when compared to traditional gold. This new style works particularly well with black or brown leather straps, as it is not so ostentatious or in your face.

So let’s take a look at the designers who have embraced this new style, and the pieces that will have you looking liking the elegant, modern day gentleman you are.

Burberry and Hugo Boss have both released a variety of rose gold models this season, with none better than the brand new Burberry Heritage Rose Gold and Brown Chronograph Mens Watch BU1863 and the Boss by Hugo Boss Rose Gold Chronograph Mens Watch 1512519. Both of these watches come with a brown leather strap, which offsets against the beautiful deep colour of the rose gold face and buttons. The combination is a sophisticated and understated one; allowing you to wear it with a suit for work, just as easily as with a polo shirt and chinos at the weekend.

Gc has been a particular patron of the trend, with none other than 9 styles available in their current range. Whether you are looking for rose gold paired against leather (black or brown) for classic style, or want something a little bit more hardwearing and durable with a stainless steel strap - they have it all. However, the standout piece from the whole range has to be the black carbon fibre chronograph which features a black PVD coated steel bracelet with rose gold detailing – the ultimate colour contrast.

For those looking for something more manly to shrug off the ‘feminine’ tag, look no further than TW Steel and G-Shock. TW Steel has produced a collection of watches with oversized dials and chunky face plates which demand attention – especially when they are coated in this new sought after material. With oversized numerals, large chronograph buttons, and a name like the ‘CEO Goliath’, you know you are getting a watch fit for a real man. Likewise, G-Shock hash created their own spin on the trend in the only way they know how; hard-wearing, chunky chronographs. Yes, the G-shock Round Black Dial Rose Gold Steel Case Men's Sports Watch takes its styling from the traditional G-Shock model, but puts its own spin on it via a black coated steel bracelet and rose gold central detailing. This dark and moody watch is a real statement piece with an attitude.

Finally, for those of you who are still not completely convinced by this great new trend, I have a model that may change your mind. Bulova has just launched on TIME2.co.uk and started with a real bang if its Adventurer Silver Chronograph Men's Watch 96B139 is anything to go by. With stainless steel mesh bracelet and chronograph features; this watch oozes masculinity and timelessness. It is a style that could be worn at the office, just as easily as at the weekend or on a night out. I haven’t even mentioned that it has a striking black face which is offset perfectly by the rose gold outer detailing. A great way to get on trend, with just a subtle knowing nod towards it, the way any gentleman should.

No matter what your preference, gold has become a much less favourable choice for the modern male, so now is the time to integrate it back into your wardrobe correctly and make yourself stand out from the crowd.
