Ladies' watch black Excellanc mesh strap 30 mm cheap

Black is one of those colours that quietly goes with everything, and this Excellanc watch makes the most of it. The dial is black, set against a silver-tone case, so it sits happily next to a little black dress, a crisp white shirt or your favourite grey knit. It suits a wedding or an evening out just as well as a day at the office.

The strap is a fine mesh in stainless steel, also black, and it has that soft, supple feel that makes a watch easy to forget you are wearing. It is 12 mm wide and measures 21 cm in total length with the case included, which gives it a slim, neat look on the wrist.

At 30 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case is on the delicate side. If you have slender wrists, or simply prefer a watch that stays discreet rather than taking over, this size is a good match. The case is metal, and the whole watch weighs only 34 g.

The dial keeps things clean and uncluttered. Slim baton markers sit on the black face, so you read the time at a glance without any fuss. It is an analogue display, simple and timeless, with the silver-tone details lifting the black just enough.

Inside is a quartz movement, which is precise and needs no winding. The glass is mineral, which stands up to scratches better than plastic does. The strap fastens with a hook clasp, easy to do up with one hand once you have the knack.

It is a pretty, polished look that is also inexpensive, which is rather the spirit of our shop. If you like the way mesh sits on the wrist, you can browse more women's mesh strap watches and see how this one compares.
