Agelocer Women's Watches: All 7 Models Compared

Agelocer is best known for tourbillons and moonphases, but its women's line is where a lot of people meet the brand for the first time. PrimeTimepiece stocks seven Agelocer women's watches, from a $99 square quartz to a $369 racing automatic on a steel bracelet, and they differ far more than the product photos suggest. Case sizes run from 26mm wide to 44.5mm, three are quartz and four are mechanical.

Below we line up every model by size, movement and price, say who each one suits, and flag the two things the listings don't make obvious: which models wear large, and which colours are actually in stock.

How many women's watches does Agelocer make?

We stock seven Agelocer women's models: two quartz dress watches (the Codex Square and the Baikal Happy Diamond), two versions of the Schwarzwald skeleton automatic, and three racing automatics (the Racing Hollow Large Dial and two Fast & Furious editions). Prices run from $99 to $369, and every one is rated to 50m.

Here is the whole line on one table. Sizes and calibres are taken straight from each listing.

Which Agelocer women's watch is best for small wrists?

The Codex Square Quartz. Its case is 30 x 26mm and just 6.2mm thick, it weighs 37g, and the strap fits wrists from 150mm. The 36mm Baikal Happy Diamond and Schwarzwald are the next size up. The Racing models, at 44mm and 44.5mm, will cover most of a slim wrist.

The Codex Square Quartz is a rectangular dress watch with Roman numerals and luminous hands. It has a synthetic sapphire crystal, which resists scratches far better than the mineral glass usually found at this price, and an 18mm Italian embossed calfskin strap. The Swiss Cal. A1850 quartz movement means no winding and no setting after a weekend in a drawer. It is offered in one version, Roman Scale Silver. If you like the shape, our Agelocer Codex review covers the whole Codex family, including the men's automatic.

The trade-off is presence. At 6.2mm it slides under a cuff and reads as quiet and classic. If you want people to notice the watch, look further down this list.

Are the stones on the Agelocer Baikal Happy Diamond real diamonds?

Agelocer's listing describes free-moving diamond accents in a 36mm steel case, but it doesn't give a stone type, carat weight or certificate. So treat them as decorative stones that roll around the dial as your wrist moves, and judge the watch on its 7mm case, 38g weight and easy quartz movement.

That moving ring of stones is what sells the Agelocer Baikal Happy Diamond. The stones sit in a channel around the dial and shift with every gesture, so the watch never looks quite the same twice. Underneath it is a simple, practical quartz watch: Cal. 1850 movement, Italian embossed calfskin strap, pin buckle, and a wearing length of 150 to 190mm.

Four colourways are in stock right now: Rose Gold, Blue Rose Gold, Black Rose Gold and Silver Black, all at $169. The Blue Silver version is sold out at the moment. The blue dials have a starry fleck to them, which suits the evening better than the office. The men's watch that shares the name is a different design entirely, so don't expect a matching pair.

Should you choose an automatic or a quartz Agelocer?

Choose quartz if you want to grab the watch and go: the Codex and Baikal run on a battery and keep time whether you wear them or not. Choose an automatic if you enjoy the mechanism itself. The Schwarzwald winds as you wear it and keeps running for about 80 hours after you take it off.

That 80-hour reserve matters more than it sounds. Many automatics stop after about two days on the dresser, so you reset them every Monday. The Schwarzwald's Cal. A4910 should still be running when you pick it up after a weekend off. If you're new to mechanical watches, our guide to how an automatic watch works explains winding, power reserve and accuracy in plain terms.

The Schwarzwald Skeleton Women's on steel is the one we'd point most people to. The dial is cut away so you can see the movement working, there's a 30mm display caseback so you can see it from behind too, and the crystal is synthetic sapphire. It measures 36mm across and 10mm thick, a size that suits most wrists. Five versions are in stock at $199: plain Silver, Silver or Rose Gold with a steel strap, and two stone-set versions with a steel strap, Silver Diamond and Rose Gold Diamond (the listing gives no stone details for those either).

Prefer leather? The Schwarzwald Skeleton Automatic Women's is the same 36mm watch in silver on a black calfskin strap for $169. For more on open-dial watches, see our guide to skeleton watches for women.

Are the Agelocer Racing women's watches too big?

For many wrists, yes, and that's deliberate. The Racing Hollow Large Dial is 44mm and 123g, and the Fast & Furious women's models are 44.5mm and 117g, all 12mm thick. They're designed for an oversized, sporty look. If you want a watch that disappears under a sleeve, a 36mm Schwarzwald or Baikal will suit you better.

If you do want the big look, the Agelocer Racing Hollow Large Dial is the most interesting dial in the women's line. It's layered and partly open, with separate hour, minute and seconds displays, a 24-hour indication and luminous markers, under a synthetic sapphire crystal. It comes on a 24mm French calfskin strap in White, Elegant Green or Elegant Powder, all at $299. The strap fits wrists from 165 to 230mm, another sign it's built large.

The two Fast & Furious women's watches are officially co-branded with the film series. The Racing Fast & Furious Women's comes on a rubber strap in White, Dark Green or Pink for $339. The Racing Fast & Furious Women's in Steel swaps the strap for a steel bracelet, in Blue, Pink or White, for $369.

One small inconsistency worth knowing: both racing families use the Cal. A5500, but the Racing Hollow listing quotes 42 hours of reserve while the Fast & Furious listings quote 40 hours at 21,600 vph. Either way it's well short of the Schwarzwald's 80 hours, so a racing model will need a wind or a shake after a day or so off the wrist. The full men's and women's racing range is covered in our Fast & Furious guide.

Can you swim with an Agelocer women's watch?

We wouldn't. Every model here is rated to 50m (5 ATM), which covers rain, hand washing and splashes, not regular swimming. Four of the seven also come on calfskin straps, which water damages quickly. If you want a watch for the pool, look for 100m or more. Our 50m guide explains what the ratings mean.

The ratings on a dial describe a static pressure test, not a dive. Read can you swim with a 50m watch? for the full explanation and what to look for instead.

Which Agelocer women's watch makes the best gift?

If you don't know her wrist size, the 36mm Schwarzwald on steel is the safest choice. It's mid-sized, mechanical, and the open dial is what people notice first. For a smaller budget, the $99 Codex Square is a classic shape that suits almost any style. Only choose a Racing model if you know she likes a large watch.

Our verdict

For most buyers, the Schwarzwald on steel is the pick of Agelocer's women's line: the right size, a real automatic with a long reserve, and an open dial that rewards a closer look. Choose the Codex Square if you want something small and quiet, the Baikal Happy Diamond if you want sparkle without fuss, and a Racing model only if you want a big, sporty watch.
