Watch for women brown Excellanc 38 mm black dial

The first thing you notice about this Excellanc watch is the case itself: it is made of walnut wood, and because wood is a natural material, the grain runs differently in every piece. No two cases are quite alike, so yours will have veins and tones that belong to it alone. It also feels pleasantly light on the wrist, which is a small luxury when you wear a watch from morning to night.

The case is round and measures 38 mm across and 10 mm thick, which gives it a confident but easy presence on a wrist. The warm brown of the wood is carried through to the bracelet, so the whole watch has a calm, coordinated look. Against all that brown, the black dial stands out in a good way. A marble-style pattern runs across it in black and white, and it keeps the face lively without making it hard to read.

Round hour markers sit around the dial with a light touch, so you can tell the time at a glance. Inside, a quartz movement keeps time accurately without any fuss, and the analogue display is topped by mineral glass. It is the sort of watch that slips from a day at work to an evening out with no change of outfit, since black and brown are happy partners with almost any wardrobe.

On the practical side, the bracelet is made of links and is 18 mm wide. To fit your wrist, you simply remove one or more links, and our watch size guide will help you work out how many. Once it is sized, the deployment clasp closes with a single click. Fully fastened, the watch measures 23 cm from end to end.

Warm, a little different and easy to live with, this women's watch also makes a lovely gift for someone who appreciates natural materials. If you would like to see more options, have a look at our classic women's watches too.
