Excellanc white women's watch with blue expanding bracelet

Most fashion watches ask you to fuss with a buckle or a pin every time you put them on. This Excellanc model does without both. The bracelet expands over the hand and settles on the wrist, so there is nothing to fasten, which makes it one of the easier watches to wear day in, day out.

The look is quietly nautical. A white dial, a blue bracelet and a silver-tone case make a calm, fresh combination that sits as comfortably with a crisp shirt as with a soft knit. It is a watch that suits holiday afternoons without looking out of place the rest of the year.

On the dial, Arabic numerals and baton indexes share the space, and the silver-tone indexes stand out clearly against the white background, so the time can be read at a glance. The movement is analogue quartz, accurate and unfussy, and the mineral glass is more resistant to scratches than plastic would be. The model is called Selin.

The round metal case measures 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that is noticeable without being showy. The stainless steel bracelet is 18 mm wide and 18.5 cm in total length, and its expanding fit adapts easily to the wrist.

Its soft colours and uncomplicated wear also make it an easy gift to choose. If you like the silvery finish, you will find similar styles among our women's silver-tone watches.
