I just think this model evokes more of a feminine vibe of the day:

I've also never seen that particular movement in a ladies model.
Yes, that particular model does have a more feminine vibe. Not sure how that applies to my model.

David says "there is also a long history of women wearing military looking items during times of war".
You can point to any decade of Gruen wristlets and I'll show you mostly very "lady" like examples...but also some very obvious "manly" like models, meant for women. Gruen always had diversity in its lines.

At 11 ligne cal 94 is def an "in between" calibre but I have now seen this calibre in *numerous*, clearly ladies models.
