·It can be worn with a dress, yes ...
Can a Speedmaster be a proper dress watch?

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorI know what Pitti is and also what sprezattura means. IMO, this is not it. You cannot claim to dress with a sense of sprezattura without looking at the setting and social context of the situation and dressing sprezattura is all about challenging conventions, setting yourself apart knowingly and having flair for details. Dressing like the men on the photo at Pitti is conforming to the conventions of that particular setting, completely overdoing the "details" in an attempt on setting themselves apart - with the ironic result that they all end up looking similar.
Conforming to conventions and peacocking - far, far from sprezattura.
A Speedmaster on a primitive, brown leather strap - far, far from a dress watch.
Well said and too true.
Try going to a black tie event not in a tux. 😗
Worked in a job many moons ago that meant I was at the front of such events and sent many men home and the look on their girlfriends/wives faces said it all.
Remember one bloke changed his jacket and tie and came back still in the jeans he had on 🤦 He was a television personality that was too cool for school and just didn’t get it or like it ( don’t think he liked me either that night by the comments he made ).

·it can, but we can all see it shouldn't and the lady deserves something more appropriate to go with that dress right? 😉😉😗
Erm, no. I think it looks hot. YMMV.

I think she has everything well matched.
Except possibly the hair and the <cough, cough> eyebrows.
