If you are looking for a gift for a woman who prefers natural materials to anything shiny, this Excellanc watch is a sensible choice. The case is made of wood, finished in brown, and it comes with a brown bracelet and a brown dial, so the whole watch stays in one calm colour.
The round case measures 40 mm across and 11 mm thick. That is a generous diameter, and it gives the watch the oversized look many women now choose. The wooden case is light on the wrist, and the grain of the wood differs slightly from one watch to the next, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
The brown dial is analogue, with baton markers for the hours. They are thin and plain, which keeps the face easy to read without crowding it. The movement is quartz, so there is nothing to wind or set apart from the time itself. Over the years only the battery needs replacing. The dial is protected by mineral glass, which copes well with the small knocks of daily wear.
The bracelet is made of brown links and is 12 mm wide. Total length is 22 cm including the case. To adjust the fit, you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how to measure your wrist before you do. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet securely with a single click. The watch weighs 32 g.
Brown suits a wide range of wardrobes. It sits as comfortably under the cuff of a shirt as it does against the sleeve of a knitted jumper, so the gift is easy to wear from the first day. If you would like to compare other styles, our classic women's watches are a good place to continue.
