Most small black watches settle for a plain strap and leave it at that. This Excellanc is a little more considered. The strap is a fine stainless steel mesh in black, soft against the skin and fluid enough to follow the movement of your wrist, so it feels closer to a piece of jewellery than to a standard bracelet. Against it, the silver-tone dial gives a clean, quiet contrast.
The dial itself is restrained. Slim black hour markers stand out clearly on the pale background without crowding it, and the analogue display keeps everything easy to read at a glance. The round case is 32 mm across and 10 mm thick, a balanced size that sits neatly on a slender wrist without looking lost on it.
Black is a colour that never really dates, which makes this women's watch easy to wear from the office to an evening out, a dinner or a wedding. It is inexpensive, yet nothing about the look suggests it. The case is metal in black, the mesh strap is stainless steel, and the clasp is a hook fastening that closes securely. The strap is 14 mm wide and 21 cm long including the case. A mineral glass protects the dial, and the quartz movement keeps accurate time without any fuss.
