Raptor gold-tone women's watch multicoloured stretch

Most gold-tone watches are content to be a plain disc on a plain strap. This Raptor from the Colorful Edition goes a step further: the dial and the bracelet both carry a mix of colours, so the watch brings a little personality to your wrist without ever shouting about it.

The case is round, in gold-tone metal, and measures 36 mm across with a thickness of 8 mm. That is a size with a bit of presence, easy to notice but never bulky. The thin gold-tone hour markers stand out clearly against the multicoloured background, and there are no numerals, which keeps the face calm and uncluttered.

The stretch bracelet is the real highlight. There is no clasp to fiddle with: you simply slide it on and off. It is made of stainless steel, 18 mm wide, and the total length including the watch is 18.5 cm, so it hugs the wrist comfortably through a whole day.

Inside, a Miyota 2035 quartz movement keeps the time accurately without any attention from you, and a mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life. It is an analogue watch, simple to read at a glance, which suits busy mornings very well.

It is splash resistant, so rain and hand washing are no problem. Do take it off for the shower or a swim, though, to keep it looking its best for longer.

From Monday mornings to Saturday evenings, it slips naturally into your outfits, and it also makes a lovely gift, as it comes in a presentation box. If this style appeals to you, have a look at our gold-tone women's watches for more ideas.
