Excellanc ladies' watch blue dial splash resistant 36 mm

At 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, this Excellanc watch sits as a round, medium-large piece on the wrist: noticeable without being bulky, and slim enough to slide under a cuff. The case is metal in a silver tone, set against a blue dial with white detailing and plain baton hour markers that keep the face uncluttered.

The bracelet is stainless steel in a matching blue and it expands, so there is no clasp to fasten. You simply slide it over your hand and it settles in place. It is 18 mm wide, and the total length including the watch is 18.5 cm, which is worth checking against your wrist before ordering.

The blue and white palette gives it a nautical look, and it works naturally with a striped Breton top, a white shirt or denim. It is also easy to wear every day, since nothing about the design competes with the rest of your outfit.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, a type that keeps steady time and needs no winding. The glass is mineral. For water, this is a splash-resistant watch: rain and hand washing are fine, but take it off for the shower, the bath or a swim.

If you like the look, you will find similar styles among our silver-tone women's watches. It also makes a tidy gift, whether you are buying for someone else or for yourself.
