The strap is where this watch begins. It is black faux leather, soft against the wrist, with the quiet matte look of a classic leather band. Against it, the silver-tone dial and case feel cool and polished, a pairing that suits almost any outfit without announcing itself.
The dial is silver-tone too, with Roman numerals marked in black so the time is easy to read at a glance. It is a restrained, timeless layout, and the contrast with the pale background keeps it crisp. Nothing about it is loud, which is exactly the point.
The round metal case measures 39 mm across and 8 mm thick, so it sits neatly on the wrist and slips under a cuff without fuss. The strap is 18 mm wide and closes with a traditional pin buckle, and the whole watch measures 21.5 cm from end to end. The mineral glass over the dial keeps the face clear.
Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, accurate and simple to live with. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. It is an inexpensive watch, yet the result looks considered and quietly elegant.
Wear it with jeans and a knit at the weekend or with tailoring at the office. If you like the cool tone of the case, you can browse more silver-tone watches for women from the shop. This one is from Excellanc and made for women.
