Women's watch multicoloured Excellanc 36 mm stretch

If your wardrobe leans towards plain knits, denim and crisp white shirts, this is the watch that adds the colour. The multicoloured dial is the first thing anyone notices, bright without being loud, and it sits happily against navy, grey, cream or black. The stretch bracelet carries the same mix of shades, so the whole watch looks like one considered accessory rather than an afterthought.

At 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case has a nice presence on the wrist without taking over. It is a silver-tone metal case, which keeps the look clean and lets the dial do the talking. Excellanc has kept the face analogue and uncluttered, so you can read the time at a glance, whether you are dashing to a meeting or checking in on the school run.

What makes it easy to live with is the bracelet. It is stainless steel and stretches, so there is no clasp to fiddle with: you simply slide it over your hand and it settles into place. The bracelet is 18 mm wide and the watch measures 18.5 cm from end to end. Inside, a quartz movement keeps accurate time without any fuss, and a mineral glass protects the dial.

It works from Monday morning to Saturday night, with a shirt at the office or an oversized jumper at the weekend. If you would like to see how it compares with other styles, take a look at our silver-tone watches for women and find the one that suits you best.
