Women's watch Excellanc 43 mm wooden silver-tone case brown

This watch suits the woman who likes natural materials and doesn't mind a larger face on her wrist. If you tend to pick wood, leather and earthy tones over polished metal, the Excellanc brown model is a sensible place to start.

The case is made of wood and measures 43 mm across, round in shape and 12 mm thick. Wood is light on the wrist, which helps with a case of this diameter. Because it is a natural material, the grain will differ slightly from one watch to the next, so yours will not look exactly like anyone else's.

The dial is brown and carries both Arabic numerals and baton markers. Having two kinds of marking keeps the layout easy to read at a glance, and the display is analogue throughout. The bracelet is brown too, so the dial, case and strap sit in the same colour family rather than competing with each other.

The bracelet is made of links and closes with a deployant clasp. It is 22 mm wide, and the total length of the watch is 24.5 cm. The silver-tone finish on the metal parts is neutral enough to go with most clothing, whether that is a shirt for the office or a knit for the evening. If you like that look, you can compare it with other silver-tone watches for women in the shop.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time, which means no winding and steady accuracy day to day. The glass is mineral glass.

To keep a wooden watch looking its best, a little care goes a long way, and our guide on how to look after your watch covers the basics.
