The bracelet is where this Excellanc watch gets its quiet charm: it is made of grey metal and expands, so there is nothing to fasten. You slip it over your hand and it settles on the wrist, without a clasp to fiddle with. The bracelet is 14 mm wide and about 18 cm long in total, which gives the watch a slender, close-fitting line.
The round case is 30 mm across and 8 mm thick, finished in the same grey metal as the bracelet. Against it, the white dial keeps things calm and easy to read, with Arabic numerals alternating with baton markers. A mineral glass covers the dial. Nothing here is trying to impress, which is exactly why it works with a crisp shirt in the morning and a soft knit at the weekend. It is also an inexpensive way to add a refined, discreet piece to your collection.
Inside is a quartz movement (PC21) with an analogue display, so you can count on the time without winding or fuss. It suits a birthday present just as well as a small treat for yourself. If you like the idea of a stretch fit, you will find more in our selection of women's metal bracelet watches.
