Guaranteed glamour
...or however you want to turn it.
I see the ''caution'' here as meaning that this luxury watch ensures a glamorous look.

If this is a marketing/editorial piece however I'm not sure ''guarantee'' sounds smooth enough, and I'd be tempted to replace it with something like timeless/instant elegance/glamour (also a nod to the idea of time, it being a watch).
