Excellanc rectangular women's watch green faux leather

Green and gold make a lovelier pair than you might expect, and this Excellanc watch proves it. The faux leather strap is a soft, mossy green, and against the gold-tone case it looks right at home with a camel coat, a cream knit, a white shirt or a simple black dress. The champagne dial sits between the two colours and keeps the whole look warm rather than flashy. The rectangular shape gives it a little character, so even with the plainest outfit it feels chosen rather than grabbed on the way out.

Reading the time is easy, thanks to clearly drawn Arabic numerals on the analogue dial. The case is metal and just 8 mm thick, which means it slips under a cuff without any fuss. The strap is 14 mm wide, and the watch measures 23.5 cm in total, so it suits a slim wrist well. The pin buckle lets you set the length hole by hole until it sits just as you like. Inside there is a quartz movement (PC21) that keeps good time without any attention, and the dial is protected by mineral glass.

It works from Monday morning to Saturday night, from the office to a long lunch with friends, and it makes a thoughtful present for a birthday or simply as a treat for yourself. It is an inexpensive way to add a little colour to your wrist. If you like the gold-tone finish, take a look at our gold-tone watches for women and find the one that suits you best. A faux leather strap is easy to look after, so a gentle wipe now and then will keep it looking fresh.
