Excellanc blue women's watch with mesh strap, 41 mm

This watch is for the woman who likes a watch you can actually see on the wrist, and who wants it to stay light and tidy at the same time. The Excellanc has a round 41 mm case with a blue dial, set on a silver-tone mesh strap. It is a larger format than many women's watches, so it suits those who prefer a confident presence over a discreet one.

The blue dial is the main colour accent, and it sits comfortably against the silver-tone metal around it. Slim silver-tone hour markers keep the face clean, and they stand out clearly against the blue background. The result is easy to wear with both smart and casual outfits, from office clothes to weekend knitwear or an evening dress.

The strap is a finely woven stainless steel mesh in silver-tone, smooth against the skin. It is 20 mm wide and the watch measures 26 cm in total. It closes with a magnetic clasp that you can fasten with one hand, which makes putting it on quick and uncomplicated. If you like this style, you can compare it with other women's watches with a mesh strap in the shop.

The case is metal, 41 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick, so it stays reasonably slim despite its size. A mineral glass protects the dial. The display is analogue, with no extra functions to learn or set.

Inside is a quartz movement, a simple and accurate system. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A brief wipe with a soft cloth from time to time is enough to keep the mesh looking bright.
