Raptor gold-tone women's watch 32 mm leather strap

At 32 mm across and just 7 mm deep, this Raptor sits neatly on the wrist without ever looking like it is trying too hard. It is a modest, slim size that suits smaller wrists especially well, though it wears comfortably on most. The round case is metal in a gold-tone finish, and you will barely notice it is there until someone compliments it.

The dial is where the personality comes in. It is a soft green with a touch of yellow, and small dots mark the hours in white so you can read the time at a glance. The leather strap carries the green through, 12 mm wide and supple enough that it should soften and settle to your wrist the more you wear it. It is the kind of colour pairing that feels fresh in spring and rather lovely with autumn knitwear too.

On the practical side, the watch runs on a VJ21 quartz movement, so it keeps steady time without any fuss, and the dial is protected by mineral glass. The pin buckle lets you fine-tune the fit hole by hole, and the whole watch measures 21 cm with the strap and weighs only 22 g. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is fine for a splash or a shower of rain, but keep it away from the bath, the shower and the swimming pool.

If you already wear gold-tone jewellery, this will sit happily alongside it. It would make a thoughtful birthday present, or just a little treat for yourself. And if you like to compare before you decide, you can browse our gold-tone watches for women and see how other styles stack up.
