Excellanc ladies' watch black 36 mm bangle

Black is the colour that quietly does the work. The dial on this Excellanc watch is a deep, plain black, and it sits comfortably with almost anything in your wardrobe: a crisp white shirt, a navy knit, a little black dress for the evening. Against all of them, the silver-tone case and bracelet add a cool, polished note without ever shouting.

The bangle-style bracelet is what gives this watch its character. It wraps the wrist like a piece of jewellery, so the watch reads as an accessory first and a timekeeper second. If that is the look you like, you will find more of the same among our women's jewellery watches.

At 36 mm across, the round case is neat and well judged. It is noticeable without taking over the wrist, and at 10 mm thick it slips easily under a cuff. The case and the bracelet are both metal, finished in the same silver-tone so everything looks of a piece.

On the dial, the display is analogue, with a clean black face that is easy to read at a glance. Nothing is crowded and nothing is there for show, which suits a watch meant for everyday wear.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time steadily, with no winding and no fuss. It is a practical, quietly elegant watch for the office, for dinner out, or simply for days when you want one polished finishing touch.
