A Rolex is one of the most elite watches in the world, but with price tags reaching thousands of pounds, this £134 lookalike is a great way to get a similar look on a budget

There are few watch brands in the world quite as iconic as Rolex, and they’ve been considered a true statement of style for decades. However, the price tag on a Rolex is part of what keeps them exclusive and rare, with most watches costing thousands of pounds to buy both new and second hand.
And whilst we love a great investment piece – which a Rolex undeniably is – it’s not particularly feasible for most of us to be splurging on one. But if you love the look of a Rolex – especially the £5900 Oyster Perpetual 41 – but don’t have the money to pick one up, we’ve found a brilliant alternative at Abbott Lyon .

The Belgravia 41 Blue Men’s Watch is priced at just £149, although the code TAKE10 will save you 10%, bringing the price down to £134.10. It has a similar silver and blue colourway to the iconic Rolex Oyster, although you can also pick it up with a black dial instead of a navy blue one.
Both versions feature a silver stainless steel bezel and strap, which is finished with a brushed effect and can be easily adjusted by adding or removing links to get the right fit. The case measures 41mm x 41mm, making it a good size to suit most wrists, and comes in luxury packaging to make it feel even more elevated.
It’s a great choice for everyday wear but still special and stylish enough to bring out for formal occasions, looking just as at home with a suit as it would with jeans and a T-shirt. The Belgravia 41 Blue Men’s Watch has been designed with a magnifying cyclops lens over the date window, and features simple time markers around the edge for a minimalist look.
Abbott Lyon’s Belgravia 41 Blue Men’s Watch uses a Miyota 2315 movement, which is regularly used in mid-range watches for its dependable timekeeping and simple build. If you prefer a chronograph style watch, this Tissot Chrono L 42mm Mens Watch will set you back £385 and uses Swiss technology, as well as being waterproof up to 100 metres.
The Abbott Lyon watch is technically a men’s design, although it could be unisex if you prefer your watches to be a little more masculine in design. If you do want something a little more feminine that keeps a similar look, this Citizen Eco-Drive Women’s Blue Dial Bracelet Watch is now £129 down from £199 and has the same silver and navy colour combination, with a slightly smaller dial and strap for a sporty but elegant look.
