Akzent white women's watch 35 mm mother-of-pearl dial metal

Mother-of-pearl is the whole story here. Tilt the wrist and the white dial shifts from soft milk to a pearly shimmer, never quite the same twice. It is the kind of detail that makes the Akzent Nojoum feel like more than a plain white face, and it catches the light well beyond the office window.

Around that dial sits a round 35 mm metal case in a silver-tone finish, 8 mm thick, so it looks neat and slim rather than chunky. Roman numerals mark the hours and give the watch a gently vintage air, which keeps it smart without trying too hard.

The bracelet is made of metal links in the same silver-tone, 11 mm wide, and the full length including the case is 19.5 cm. If it runs a little long, you can take out one or more links to fit your wrist. Our watch size guide shows you how to go about it. A clasp fastens the bracelet in a single movement, handy when you are getting ready in a hurry.

Inside, a quartz movement (Y121) keeps time reliably with no winding and no fuss. The display is analogue, and a mineral glass covers the dial to guard against the knocks of everyday life.

On water, be realistic. With 3 ATM of water resistance, this watch handles splashes and a rain shower without trouble. Take it off before showering or swimming.

As for when to wear it, think of it as an easy all-rounder. It sits well with a shirt at work, with jeans at the weekend and with a dress for an evening out or a ceremony. A neutral, pearly watch like this one simply goes with most of what is already in your wardrobe.
