Cheap Excellanc ladies' watch 40 mm 9 mm thick brown dial

Brown is the colour that quietly goes with everything. Put this Excellanc on with a cream knit and dark jeans, a camel coat, a mustard cardigan or a plain white shirt on a Monday morning, and it looks like it was chosen to match. The warm brown dial and the brown strap sit together in one tone, so the whole watch reads as a single, calm accent on your wrist.

The dial itself is clean and easy to read. There are no numerals, only simple hour markers, which keeps things understated and lets the colour do the talking. The round case measures 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it has real presence on the wrist without feeling bulky. It is a watch you notice, but not one that shouts.

The strap is faux leather in brown, soft against the skin, and it closes with a classic pin buckle that you can set exactly where you like. It is 20 mm wide, and the watch measures 23 cm in total. If you enjoy this look, you will find more like it among our women's leather strap watches.

Inside, a PC21 quartz movement keeps time accurately and without fuss. All it asks for is a new battery every so often. A mineral glass covers the dial and protects it from the small knocks that come with everyday life, from bag zips to desk edges.

It is an inexpensive watch, yet it wears like a considered accessory, one that takes you from the office to weekend errands to dinner on a Saturday night. Easy to style, easy to read and easy to live with.
