Excellanc red ladies' watch Arabic numerals 38 mm

Picture a Tuesday morning at your desk, sleeve pushed back to check the time before a meeting. On this watch the glance is quick: a red dial with Arabic numerals, so the hour reads at once, with no squinting at tiny markers.

The Excellanc is a women's watch built around a natural material. The case and the strap are both made of wood, finished in red, which gives it a warmer look than the usual metal or silicone. The case is round and measures 38 mm across, so it sits on the wrist with a clear presence without being oversized. The case is sandalwood, and each piece has its own grain, so no two will look exactly alike.

On the practical side, the case is 11 mm thick and the strap is 18 mm wide. The full length of the watch, strap included, is 23.5 cm. The strap closes with a deployant clasp, which keeps the watch secure on your wrist when you take it off or put it on.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. It needs no special care: the only upkeep is replacing the battery from time to time. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches.

Red on red, with a single material from case to strap, makes it easy to wear from the office to the weekend to an evening out. If you would like to compare it with other models of a similar spirit, have a look at our classic women's watches.
