Just Watch ladies' watch black baton markers leather strap

The first thing you notice is the contrast: a deep black dial set inside a silver-tone case, with slim baton markers picking out the hours. It looks calm and a little bit smart, the sort of watch that makes an outfit look finished without trying hard. This one comes from Just Watch, and the shop knows it as "Lola".

The case is round, 33 mm across and 10 mm thick, so it sits neatly on most wrists rather than perching on top like an oversized men's piece. The case is metal, and the dial is analogue, with no extras to read or fiddle with.

The black leather strap does the rest of the work. It is 13 mm wide and softens as you wear it, so it ends up moulded to your wrist. A pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole. End to end, the watch measures 24 cm.

Styling is easy. Black leather and a silver-tone case go as well with jeans and a knit as with a work blazer, and the same watch carries on into the evening without a change. If you like this look, our silver-tone women's watches offer plenty of other options in the same spirit.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, a dependable choice that needs no special care beyond a new battery now and then. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough to cope with rain but not for showering or swimming, so take it off before you get in the water.
