Soft grey and clean white make an easy pair, and that is exactly what this Excellanc watch offers. The white dial sits against a grey faux leather strap, a combination that looks just as good with a navy jumper and jeans as it does with a black dress or a crisp white shirt. It is the sort of watch that quietly tidies up an outfit without asking for attention.
The dial is where most of the character lives. Fine hour markers keep things light and uncluttered, so the time is easy to read at a glance. The round case is 33 mm across and just 8 mm thick, a balanced size that suits slimmer wrists and still looks deliberate on larger ones. The case is metal, and the display is analogue, as you would expect.
The grey strap is faux leather, 16 mm wide, soft and light on the wrist, and it closes with a classic pin buckle. The whole watch weighs only 32 g, which means you can wear it from a morning meeting to a late dinner without noticing it is there. The full length is 22.5 cm.
Inside you will find a PC21 quartz movement, a dependable and undemanding choice. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life. It is also an inexpensive way to add a polished touch to your wrist, with no fuss about care.
