Excellanc women's watch silver-tone case brown dial 38 mm

On a Monday morning, you are reaching for your keys with a coffee in the other hand, and the watch on your wrist needs no attention at all. That is the idea behind this Excellanc women's watch. The dial is brown and the strap is brown faux leather, so the whole piece reads as one warm, muted tone rather than a statement. The case is silver-tone metal, which gives the brown a clean edge without making the watch look flashy.

The case is round, 38 mm across and 8 mm thick. That is a comfortable, readable size for a women's watch, with enough presence to check the time at a glance and a profile slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff. The strap is light and flexible, 20 mm wide, and closes with a standard pin buckle. Total length is 22.5 cm, and the whole watch weighs 31 g, so it is easy to forget you are wearing it through a long day.

The display is analogue and the movement is quartz, which keeps things simple and accurate. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches. The brown tones work with office clothes, denim and knitwear alike, from the first meeting of the week to a Saturday evening out. It is also an inexpensive way to add a leather-look strap to your rotation without a big commitment.

If you would like to compare it with similar pieces, our selection of silver-tone watches for women shows how the same case finish pairs with other dial and strap colours. Each one is easy to wear daily and simple to look after.
