Excellanc grey women's watch 33 mm round faux leather strap

Start with the case and you will see why this little Excellanc feels so well judged: a round metal case just 33 mm across and 8 mm thick, with a grey dial sitting under mineral glass. It is a size that suits a slim wrist without disappearing, and the soft grey of the dial is one of those shades that quietly goes with almost everything you own, from navy knitwear to a plain white shirt.

The strap is faux leather in a matching grey, 12 mm wide and gentle on the skin. A pin buckle closes it, so you can fine-tune the fit hole by hole until it sits just right. Total length is 22 cm including the case. It looks as at home with jeans on a weekend as it does with office tailoring, which makes it the sort of watch you reach for without thinking. If you enjoy the look, you will find more in our women's leather strap watches.

Inside, a quartz movement (PC21) keeps reliable time, with a simple analogue display that is easy to read at a glance. It is an inexpensive watch, yet it has the neat, classic finish of something you would be happy to give as a gift or keep for yourself.
