Black and silver is one of those pairings that never asks for much attention and always looks considered. The dial on this Donna Kelly is black, set inside a round case in a silver-tone finish, and it sits happily alongside a crisp white shirt, a charcoal knit or a simple black dress. It suits a working week as easily as an evening out, which makes it a watch you will reach for without thinking about it.
The dial is kept deliberately clean. Black and white together keep things soft and easy on the eye, and the Arabic numerals mean the time can be read at a glance, with nothing fussy to decode. The display is analogue, with a mineral glass front, and the quartz movement keeps time quietly in the background.
At 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, the case has a confident presence on the wrist. It is a watch you notice, not one that disappears, so it works best if you like a generous face. The case is metal, and the same silver-tone theme carries through to the bracelet.
That bracelet is stainless steel in a white tone, and it is an expanding style, so there is no clasp to fasten. You simply slide it over your hand and it settles in place. It is 20 mm wide and measures 19 cm in total, which keeps it comfortable to wear from morning to night.
It is also an inexpensive way to add a polished piece to your collection. If you enjoy the cool, light finish, you can browse more women's silver-tone watches in the same spirit.
