Ladies' watch dark green Just Watch leather strap

Some watches ask for attention. This one just gets on with the day. The Just Watch "Tessa" is a small, light quartz watch you can put on in the morning and forget about until you need the time.

The case is 27 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it sits neatly on a slim wrist and slides under a cuff without fuss. It is made of stainless steel, a sensible choice for something that will knock against desks, bags and door frames.

The dial is a deep, dark green with Arabic numerals and baton markers. It is easy to read at a glance and goes with most colours in your wardrobe, from navy and grey to cream and black. The case has a silver-tone finish, so it also sits comfortably alongside the other pieces in our silver-tone watches for women.

The strap is black leather, 14 mm wide, and it softens and becomes more supple the longer you wear it. A pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole, and the full length of the watch is 22.5 cm.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, accurate and low-maintenance. A mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life.

Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, which covers splashes, handwashing and a surface swim. It is not meant for diving, so keep it for the pool and the sea shallows rather than deep water.
