Akzent gold-tone women's watch 42 mm faux leather strap

If you like a watch that people notice, but you would never describe yourself as flashy, the Akzent in gold-tone is probably meant for you. It suits the woman who dresses simply, loves one confident accessory, and wants something that works as well at her desk on a Monday as it does at dinner on a Saturday. This model is called Samara.

The 42 mm round case is gold-tone metal, and it has real presence on the wrist. Inside it, the silver-tone dial acts as a calm, light backdrop, with small dots marking the hours so nothing feels busy or fussy. Gold-tone against silver-tone is a pairing that sits easily with both warm and cool colours, so it rarely clashes with what you are wearing.

The black faux leather strap keeps the whole look grounded. It is soft, easy to wipe clean and finished with a classic pin buckle clasp. The strap is 20 mm wide and the watch measures 24 cm end to end. At 8 mm thick, the case stays neat rather than bulky, even with that generous diameter.

Inside is a reliable quartz movement with an analogue display, so you simply put it on and it keeps good time. Mineral glass protects the dial and stands up to scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough for splashes and a shower of rain, but do take it off before bathing or swimming.

It also makes a lovely present for someone who likes gold tones. And if this one has caught your eye, you will find more like it among our women's gold-tone watches.
