Excellanc gold-tone women's watch 36 mm white dial

What you notice first is the white dial: a clean, soft face set against the warm gold-tone of the case. The numerals are Arabic, so the time reads at a glance with no squinting. This Excellanc is a round 36 mm watch, and the metal case sits comfortably between a delicate piece and one with real presence on the wrist.

The strap is a rigid bangle in gold-tone metal, 12 mm wide, which means the watch is worn like a bracelet rather than on a flexible band. The total length is 16 cm. The display is analogue and the movement is quartz (PC21), a reliable setup that needs no attention day to day. The mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of everyday wear.

Because the bangle looks as much like jewellery as a watch, it stacks well with other bracelets if you like a fuller wrist. If that style appeals, you will find more like it in our women's jewellery watches.
