My £45 two-tone watch looks just like Zara Tindall's £11.7k Rolex
I found the best lookalike for Zara Tindall's go-to £11.7k Rolex watch that you can pick up for just £45, and the two-tone gold and silver timepiece nails quiet luxury on a budget Over the years Zara Tindall has worn quite an impressive range of luxury watches, many of which happen to be from one of the most coveted timepiece brands in the world; Rolex. The equestrian and Royal became a Rolex Testimonee prior to winning individual gold at the World Equestrian Games in 2006 in Aachen, and has since been spotted in several Rolex watches, including the two-tone Lady-Datejust which comes with a huge £11,700 price tag. Whilst I'm a big fan of Zara's collection, I definitely won't be affording a Rolex of my own anytime soon, which is why I was quick to snap up Sekonda's Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone when I saw it. Priced at just £44.99, the watch embodies the classic, timeless (pardon the pun) luxury look of Zara's designer wrist watch, without the hefty price tag. The Sekonda watch has a slightly more slimline design compared to Zara's Rolex, with a narrower strap and smaller dial. However it sticks to a similar design with a two-tone gold and silver metal bracelet, pale gold face and gold surround. Obviously the Sekonda Francis Watch isn't made from the same materials, swapping the 18ct gold and diamonds for a stainless steel alloy and crystals, hence the much more affordable price tag. However the Sekonda watch still reflects the elegance and sophistication of the designer version, with crystals in place of numbers around the face and gold-coloured accents including the dial surround and winder. The watch is also super lightweight and comfortable to wear, and you can barely feel it on your wrist. The clasp can be a little fiddly to unlatch at first, but after a few wears it loosens up and becomes easy to do one handed, and closes super securely so you don't need to worry about it popping open while you wear it. It's currently available for £44.99 on Amazon, or you can get a different colourway at Freemans, which swaps the gold face for a silver one whilst maintaining the two-tone bracelet strap, although it doesn't have the crystals around the edge. Alternatively you can pick up an all-silver version direct from the Sekonda website for £39.99, which looks just like mine but without any gold details. Alternatively, you can pick up the Mini Two Tone Pearl Link Belgravia 23 Watch at Abbott Lyon for £149. This watch features a two-tone gold and silver metal strap, in-laid crystals around the face, and has a pearl-effect dial, giving it a premium, high end look. However I couldn't be happier with my Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone from Sekonda. They also stock plenty of other great designer alternatives, letting you get that quiet luxury look on a budget.

Meet Steve Jobs' youngest daughter, Eve Jobs, an equestrian and model making a name for herself outside Silicon Valley
Eve Jobs, the youngest child of Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell-Jobs, was born in 1998. Jobs, 26, has three older siblings named Reed, Erin, and Lisa. She was 13 when their father died in October 2011. In high school, Jobs balanced equestrian sports in Florida with applying to colleges and attending high school in California. Jobs said her school allowed her to make up for missed classes through Upper Echelon Academy, a tutoring program based in Wellington, Florida. "It took me a long time to figure out how to balance friends, school, and riding, but through the years I figured out the best way to make it all work is to prioritize what is most important to you," Jobs said in a 2016 interview with Upper Echelon Academy. The interview has since been removed from Upper Echelon Academy's website, but an archived version is still available online. Jobs graduated from Stanford University in 2021, the same school where her parents met. Jobs is an accomplished equestrian who once hoped to compete in the Olympics. In 2016, Jobs' mother bought a $15 million ranch in Wellington, Florida, where she frequently competed and trained with Missy Clark. The Daily Mail reported that the ranch included a barn big enough for 20 horses and a show-jumping training rink. Jobs also bought a stallion named Chill RZ in 2016. Jobs told World of Showjumping in 2020 that competing in the Olympics and the World Equestrian Games "would be a dream." After the Tokyo Olympics were postponed due to COVID-19, she decided to pursue other avenues. "I had done everything I wanted to achieve in the sport, and I just felt at peace," she told Vanity Fair in 2022. In May, she returned to the sport to compete in the Royal Windsor Horse Show. "So grateful to be back jumping at this level," she wrote on Instagram. Jobs isn't the only famous heiress to take up equestrian sports. Other famous show jumpers include Michael Bloomberg's daughter Georgina, Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer, Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica, and Steven Spielberg's daughter Destry. Jobs now works as a model represented by DNA Model Management. Jobs made her modeling debut in 2020 in a Glossier ad campaign alongside "Euphoria" star Sydney Sweeney and "RuPaul's Drag Race" finalist Naomi Smalls. She signed with DNA Model Management in 2022, which also represents stars such as Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajkowski. She has also been a regular guest at Paris Fashion Week since 2022. She makes occasional appearances at red-carpet events such as the Met Gala and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Jobs walked the Met Gala 's red carpet in 2022 wearing a Louis Vuitton gown and posed for photos at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2022 and 2023. She also attended the WSJ Magazine 2023 Innovator Awards and the 2023 TIME100 Gala. Jobs is reportedly engaged to Harry Charles, a British equestrian who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. While Jobs has pursued career paths outside tech, she has occasionally weighed in on Apple product launches. In the biography "Steve Jobs," Walter Isaacson describes Eve Jobs as growing up to become "a strong-willed, funny firecracker" who knew how to take on her famous father. Isaacson wrote in the 2011 biography that Jobs would even call her father's assistant at work to ensure that she was "put on his calendar." When it comes to the future, Isaacson wrote that Steve Jobs joked that he could envision her running Apple or becoming president of the United States. "She's a pistol and has the strongest will of any kid I've ever met," her father told Isaacson.
