The Right Choice for Price-Conscious Watch Fans

Raymond Weil produces a wide range of men's and women's quartz watches in the Tango collection. The men's models range from simple three-hand pieces to watches with a GMT function or chronograph. Each timepiece is made of stainless steel. Select models also come with rose or yellow gold PVD coating. In terms of design, this collection is extremely diverse. There's something for everyone, whether you're a fan of sports watches or have more traditional tastes.

While the Tango 300 has a rather casual look, Classic models offer a more modest and elegant feel. Like most Raymond Weil collections, the Tango series is home to a number of timepieces dedicated to music. One example is the Tango 300 Marshall Amplification , which pays tribute to the British music amp manufacturer of the same name. Another is the colorful Tango 300 GMT in honor of reggae legend Bob Marley.

Women's Tango watches are 30 mm in diameter and made of stainless steel. Raymond Weil also treats some of these timepieces to gold PVD coating. For example, the ref. 5960-STP-00308 has a gold-plated bezel and bracelet. The top women's model, the ref. 5960-SPS-00995, features 44 diamonds in addition to its golden bezel.

All in all, the Tango collection offers a vast selection of robust quartz watches fit for everyday use. Their lower prices make these timepieces an attractive option for budget-conscious watch enthusiasts. What's more, quartz watches are more accurate than mechanical timepieces, very low maintenance, and can keep ticking for years with no input.
