As Christmas shopping begins, a timepiece is unquestionably one of the top choices. It’s a rare present that can be worn daily and last for years, making it both an economical and sentimental investment.

For those worried about the initial cost of such a gift, Debenhams has the solution. The online retailer has significantly reduced the price of a luxury watch – and it’s an offer too good to miss, whether it’s a treat for yourself, an anniversary surprise, a birthday gift or a Christmas present.

Currently, customers can buy the GV2 Padova Gemstone Swiss Quartz Diamonds Watch with a whopping 92% off in the Debenhams Blue Cross sale. Usually retailing at £2,995, it’s now available for just £247.50, a staggering saving of £2,747.50.

Similarly to other watch offers at Debenhams, prices can shoot up again within days, so it’s advisable to act fast – you can find the deal here. This elegant timepiece boasts ‘delicate details’ and ‘excellent craftsmanship’, featuring an anti-reflective sapphire crystal face, sparkling gemstone time markers, and a diamond-cut ring dial.

This specific watch features a yellow gold bracelet, but there are several other reduced watches in the Padova collection available at Debenhams.

Of course, gold is not to everyone’s taste. If you prefer silver, the GV2 Padova Grey Dial 12301B Swiss Quartz Watch is now only £351.94, down from £2,595.00, offering an impressive 86% discount.

Alternatively, the Padova Gemstone Swiss Quartz Diamonds multi color White Dial watch has been slashed to just £375, originally priced at £2,895, providing a whopping 87% saving.

Also, this Swiss movement watch is water resistant up to 30 metres, meaning it can withstand accidental splashes, like rain or hand washing, but isn’t suitable for swimming.
