Excellanc gold-tone watch for women 33 mm white dial

If you like your accessories to do double duty, this one is for you. The Excellanc watch sits somewhere between a watch and a bracelet, and it suits the woman who would rather wear one polished piece than stack several on her wrist.

The case is round, 33 mm across and 8 mm thick, so it looks neat and deliberate without taking over. It is made of metal in a gold-tone finish, and the bracelet matches it exactly, which gives the whole watch one continuous, glowing line.

Then there is the dial itself. It is white, clean and easy to read at a glance, set off by gold-tone markers that stand out nicely against the pale background. Roman numerals mark the hours, which adds a classic, slightly vintage note without making the watch feel fussy.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and nothing to fiddle with. The mineral glass over the dial helps guard it against the small knocks that come with an ordinary day. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes.

Wear it with a shirt and tailored trousers on a Monday morning, with jeans and a loose knit at the weekend, or with a little black dress in the evening. The gold-tone and white combination is flexible enough to move between all three without a second thought.

If you like the look, you will find more in the same spirit in our women's jewellery watches. It also makes an easy gift, whether you are buying for someone else or simply treating yourself.
