Excellanc gold-tone women's watch 32 mm bangle

There is something quietly flattering about a warm gold-tone case set against a clean white dial, and this Excellanc watch makes the most of it. It sits happily with a cream knit, a crisp white shirt or a navy blazer, and it looks just as good with a simple black dress when the evening plans come along.

The case is round and measures 32 mm across, a balanced size that feels neat on the wrist without disappearing. At 8 mm thick, it stays slim enough to slide under a cuff.

The dial is white and kept refreshingly uncluttered. Clearly drawn Arabic numerals make the time easy to read at a glance, and the gold-tone markers stand out cleanly against the pale background. It is an analogue display, so you get the classic look of hands rather than a screen.

Rather than a traditional strap, this watch comes on a rigid metal bangle in a silver-tone finish. It is 11 mm wide, and the total length including the watch is 16 cm, so it wears like a bracelet you happen to be able to check the time on. The mix of gold-tone case and silver-tone bangle is easy to style, and it works well alongside gold-tone jewellery for a wrist full of light.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement, which keeps the time accurately without any fuss, and the glass is mineral. The case is metal, in keeping with the bangle.

If this style appeals to you, it is worth browsing our wider selection of women's jewellery watches, where you will find more pieces that sit somewhere between a watch and a bracelet. Whether it is for the office, a lazy weekend or a night out, this one slips into your day naturally.
