Just Watch gold-tone ladies' watch, black leather strap

At 8 mm thick, this Just Watch sits low and quiet on the wrist, with a tonneau-shaped case that curves softly rather than announcing itself. The case is metal in a warm gold-tone, set against a black dial that stays calm and easy to read. Arabic numerals and gold-tone hour markers stand out cleanly on the dark background, so the time is clear at a glance.

The black leather strap is 18 mm wide and tapers gently towards the clasp, which keeps the line refined. Leather like this tends to soften and settle with wear, so the watch feels more yours as the months go by. It closes with a pin buckle. Black is a dependable partner for gold-tone, which makes this a watch that moves from a shirt at the office to a knitted jumper at the weekend and on into the evening without any fuss. If you like the warmth of this finish, you will find more in our women's gold-tone watches.

Inside is a quartz movement (Miyota 2035) with an analogue display, behind a mineral glass. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are no concern, though it is best taken off for swimming. The watch measures 24 cm end to end. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a thoughtful gift as well as a pleasing one to keep for yourself.
