Grey Excellanc ladies' watch with baton markers, faux leather

This watch suits the woman who prefers her accessories quiet and easy to live with: someone who wants one dependable watch for the working week that doesn't need swapping out at the weekend. The Excellanc is grey from top to bottom, with a grey dial, a grey metal case and a grey faux leather strap, so it sits comfortably with navy, black, white and denim alike.

The round case measures 38 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that is visible on the wrist without dominating it. On the dial, slim baton markers indicate the hours and the display is analogue, which keeps the face uncluttered and quick to read. The glass is mineral.

The strap is faux leather, light and flexible, and 18 mm wide. It closes with a pin buckle, and the total length including the case is 24 cm. If you like the look of a leather-style strap, you can compare it with the other women's watches with a leather strap in the shop.

Inside is a quartz movement, so the time stays accurate with no winding or adjusting. It is a simple, practical piece that also works well as a gift. If you need help choosing, our guide to choosing a watch covers the main points.
