Cheap Excellanc gold-tone watch for women 38 mm white dial

Warm gold-tone against a soft white dial is a combination that works with almost everything in a wardrobe. This Excellanc watch sits happily with a cream knit, a crisp white shirt or a navy blazer, and it looks just as at ease with a simple summer dress as it does with jeans and a plain tee.

The dial is white and uncluttered, which keeps the whole watch calm and easy to read. Arabic numerals alternate with baton indices, so the time is clear at a glance without the face ever looking busy. It is the kind of detail that makes a watch feel quietly considered rather than showy.

At 38 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick, the round metal case has a confident presence on the wrist without feeling heavy. The gold-tone bracelet is made of links, 18 mm wide, and finishes with a deployant clasp that fastens securely and keeps the watch from slipping off when you open it. Its total length, watch included, is 23 cm.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, reliable and undemanding. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The glass is mineral. For an inexpensive watch, it has a tidy, finished look that suits daily wear.

It also makes an easy gift for someone who prefers understated jewellery. If you enjoy the warm metal finish, you can browse more women's gold-tone watches in the shop and compare styles side by side.
