Most basic watches settle for a plain round face and leave it there. This Excellanc model asks a little more of its design. The 39 mm case is larger than the dainty styles often sold to women, so it sits on the wrist with quiet authority, yet at 8 mm thick it stays slim enough to slide under a cuff. The silver-tone dial is kept clean by slim baton markers, and nothing else competes for attention. It is a watch that looks considered rather than decorated.
The metal bracelet is made of links and closes with a clip clasp, a simple movement that keeps the look tidy. It is 14 mm wide and 19.5 cm long including the case. It suits a crisp shirt on a weekday just as well as a soft knit at the weekend, and in the evening the silver-tone finish catches the light without drawing too much of it. If you like this style, you will find more like it among our women's watches with link bracelets.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps time reliably without any winding, and a mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. The display is analogue, the case is metal and the shape is a classic round. For a watch that carries this much polish, it is also inexpensive, which makes it an easy one to add to a small collection or to reach for every day.
