Excellanc black women's watch expanding bracelet 40 mm

Looking for a present for someone who loves a watch with a bit of presence? This black Excellanc women's watch, called Aleyna, is an easy one to get right. It is round, bold at 40 mm across, and wrapped in black from the case to the dial to the bracelet, so it goes with pretty much anything in a wardrobe.

The dial is black with white markings and Arabic numerals, which keeps it soft to look at and quick to read. A glance at your wrist and you have the time, no squinting. The metal case is 9 mm thick, so it sits with a confident, slightly sporty look without feeling bulky. It is the sort of watch that works with a smart shirt on a Monday and a little black dress on a Saturday night.

The bracelet is stainless steel and expanding, which means no clasp to fiddle with. You simply slide it over your hand and it stretches to fit. It is 22 mm wide and measures 18 cm end to end. If you like the idea of a metal bracelet, have a look at our women's metal bracelet watches to compare other styles and finishes.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement, accurate and happy to be left alone, while a mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. Dry it with a soft cloth when needed and it will stay looking sharp. Our tips on how to look after your watch are in the article on watch care.
