Debenhams has slashed the price of its £475 women’s watch that looks similar to a Rolex to under £70 in an early Black Friday sale, and it makes a great Christmas present
As the festive season approaches, eager shoppers may be seeking impressive presents that their nearest and dearest won’t just love, but actually choose to wear regularly. A watch is always a stylish choice that’s sure to delight even those with the most discerning taste.
It might seem like a sophisticated timepiece that combines fashion with everyday durability would carry a hefty price tag, possibly into the thousands. However, Debenhams is busting this myth wide open.
The high street giant has slashed a staggering 86% off the £475 Lineage Ladies Quartz 31mm Watch With Crystal Markers in its colossal Black Friday blowout. And get this – it bears a strong resemblance to a nearly £12,000 Rolex number.

Now retailing for £67.99, the Lineage Ladies Quartz watch offers shoppers an incredible saving of £407. It isn’t a carbon copy, but it does mirror certain aspects of the Rolex Datejust 26mm Sapphire and Diamond Set.
If you were thinking about splashing out on the fancier brand, prepare to fork out an eye-watering £11,500, which let’s face it, sails beyond the budget for many of us.
The Stührling Original Lineage 31mm Watch comes with rave reviews, scoring an impressive average of 4.5 stars out of five from over 45 customer critiques. One delighted buyer awarded it a perfect score, sharing: “Very pleased with my watch, it looks stunning. Best looking watch I’ve ever had.”
Meanwhile, another happy customer wrote about receiving it as a milestone gift: “Lovely gift for my 50th birthday. A special buy, a great price with the blue cross sale. It will be something I will wear for every outing.”
A customer raved: “Beautiful watch. Stunning watch, fantastic price. Our daughter-in-law loved it.”
Another was hopeful about their festive gift: “Bought as a Christmas Gift. I hope that she is impressed, as I am, with this lovely watch.”
However, the Lineage 31mm Watch didn’t impress everyone, with a dissatisfied reviewer saying: “It was big and couldn’t make smaller. It is not working that well,” giving it only one star. In contrast, another shopper was thrilled, commenting succinctly: “Very stylish and high quality. I’m glad I bought it.”
Meanwhile, another person celebrated their Debenhams buy, adding joyfully: “This watch was for my daughter’s birthday, she loves it. A real classy design and look – now her partner wants one after checking out the website.”
As part of the Debenhams Black Friday event, the chic GV2 Milan Silver Dial Swiss Quartz Diamonds Watch is also up for grabs. Dazzling with its diamond-cut bezel and sapphire crystal face, which prevents glare and can resist water up to a depth of 50 metres.
The range at Debenhams includes several versions of this timepiece – available with straps in various colour combinations such as two-tone, rose gold, silver, or a blend of rose gold and silver – all featured in the sale. Elsewhere, bargain hunters have the chance to scoop up savings of 50% on the Michael Kors Lennox Pavé Logo Rose Gold-Tone Watch, currently reduced from its original price of £279 to £139.
For online shoppers trawling Amazon, the Vivienne Westwood Women’s Orb Quartz Watch can be found with savings, priced at a tempting £143.99, down from the usual £235, reports Lancs Live.
