Women's watch Flair black steel bracelet

At 26 mm across, this Flair is a small, neat watch that sits close to the wrist rather than perching on top of it. The round stainless steel case is light enough that you stop noticing it by lunchtime, which suits anyone who prefers a delicate look to a statement piece.

The black dial is the star of the show. It pairs clear Arabic numerals with white hour markers, so checking the time takes a glance and nothing more. Black goes with almost everything in your wardrobe, from a Monday blazer to a Saturday night dress, and the dial keeps things sharp without shouting.

Around it runs a stainless steel bracelet made of links, 12 mm wide, in a silver-tone finish that gives the black dial a crisp frame. Overall length is 20 cm, case included. A deployant clasp closes it with a click and keeps it secure. If you like the bright, metallic look, have a browse through our silver-tone women's watches to compare styles.

Inside, a quartz movement drives the analogue display, so the timekeeping is accurate and easy to live with. The glass is mineral, and the water resistance is 5 ATM. That means rain and splashes are no problem, though it is wise to take it off before swimming.

It is a simple, dependable watch for work, weekends and evenings out, and it gets along with whatever else you wear on your wrist. If you are unsure about size or style, our guide to choosing a watch is a good place to start.
