This striking Guess Emperor timepiece marries contemporary design with refined detailing, its octagonal rose gold-tone case instantly catching the eye. The 42mm stainless steel case frames a sunray blue dial, where applied rose gold hour markers and Roman numerals at XII and VI create a sophisticated visual rhythm. Polished hands sweep across the dial with precision, powered by reliable quartz movement that ensures accurate timekeeping without fuss.
The octagonal case architecture sets this watch apart in the Guess watches collection, its geometric lines lending a modern architectural character while remaining comfortably wearable on the wrist. The blue silicone strap, embossed with subtle stitching detail, complements the dial colour and offers all-day comfort whether you're in the boardroom or out for the weekend. At 26mm lug width, the strap proportions balance the bold 42mm case diameter perfectly.
Mineral crystal glass protects the dial, while 50 metres of water resistance provides peace of mind during daily wear — splashes and brief immersion are no concern. The rose gold tone finish, applied to the case and dial elements, brings warmth to the blue palette and ensures this timepiece stands out in any collection. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Guess retailer, offering you genuine products backed by full manufacturer warranty and expert after-sales care.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, the Guess Emperor GW0850G3 is splash-proof and suitable for brief immersion such as handwashing or caught in the rain. It is not designed for swimming, diving, or showering. For water sports, consider a watch with at least 100m resistance.
Q: What type of movement does this watch use?
A: This timepiece is powered by a quartz movement, which uses a battery to drive a highly accurate oscillator. Quartz watches are known for their precision and low maintenance — you can expect several years of reliable timekeeping before a battery replacement is needed.
Q: Will the rose gold tone finish wear off over time?
A: The rose gold tone plating on the stainless steel case is durable and designed for everyday wear. To maximise its lifespan, avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and abrasive surfaces. Regular gentle cleaning will keep the finish looking its best. Normal wear may eventually show light surface marks, which is typical of plated timepieces.
Q: Can I replace the strap if it wears out?
A: Yes, the silicone strap can be replaced. With a 26mm lug width, replacement straps are available from Guess or aftermarket suppliers. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with sourcing compatible straps and fitting them for you.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: The Guess Emperor GW0850G3 straddles the line between sporty and refined. Its octagonal rose gold case and blue dial have a sophisticated presence suitable for smart-casual and business-casual settings. For black-tie formal events, a dress watch with a leather strap and minimal dial may be more traditional, but this piece certainly brings modern elegance to most occasions.
Q: How do I adjust the time on this watch?
A: Pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the case) out to its furthest position. Rotate the crown to set the correct time, then push it back in to resume normal operation. Avoid adjusting the time while the watch is wet, and ensure the crown is fully seated to maintain water resistance.
Q: Does this watch come with a presentation box?
A: Yes, all Guess watches purchased from Cassims & Co. are supplied in official Guess packaging, including a presentation box and warranty documentation. This makes it an ideal gift choice or a premium addition to your own collection.

- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
- The warranty does NOT cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage, damage resulting from accidents or misuse, water damage caused by improper use (e.g. operating the crown underwater), unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss or theft.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.
- Clean the silicone strap with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colour fading over time.
- Keep the watch away from harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the rose gold tone finish and silicone material.
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as this may damage the quartz movement or crack the mineral crystal.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, and ensure the crown is always fully pushed in to maintain the water resistance seal.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields (such as speakers or mobile phones) and extreme temperatures.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. This is typically every 2-3 years depending on usage.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period, store it in its original box to protect it from dust and moisture.
