Cheap silver-tone women's watch 38 mm black faux leather

Black and silver is a pairing that rarely goes wrong, and this watch makes the most of it. The silver-tone case and dial sit against a black faux leather strap, which works as easily with a navy jumper and jeans as with a white shirt or a little black dress. It is the sort of watch you put on in the morning and never need to think about again.

The round case measures 38 mm across and 8 mm deep, a size that is noticeable without ever feeling heavy. The case is metal, and the dial is a soft silver that stays easy to read. Roman numerals give it a classic, slightly vintage air, while the small sparkling crystals catch the light whenever your wrist moves. It is understated rather than showy, and that is where its charm lies.

The strap is black faux leather, 18 mm wide, and closes with a traditional pin buckle. A quick wipe with a cloth is all the care it needs. Including the watch itself, the full length comes to 24 cm, which makes it easy to judge against your wrist.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, accurate and straightforward, so the only upkeep is changing the battery now and then. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is limited to splashes: rain and hand washing are fine, but keep it away from the shower and from swimming.

It is an inexpensive watch, yet nothing about it looks that way on the wrist. If you enjoy this kind of refined detail, you will find more in our selection of women's jewellery watches, all chosen in the same spirit. This one is by Excellanc.
