Raptor black wooden women's watch steel bracelet

The case of this Raptor watch is built from two materials: stainless steel and wood, finished in black. The wood gives it a texture you rarely find on a quartz watch, and the steel keeps the structure hard-wearing. The case is round, 34 mm across and 8 mm thick, which suits a slim wrist without looking lost on it.

The dial is brown and analogue, with fine hour markers and no numerals, so the face stays plain and easy to read. The bracelet is black stainless steel with a deployant clasp, and it matches the case colour. The brown dial is the only contrast, and it is a warm one that sits easily with neutrals, denim and darker knitwear. If you like this kind of look, there are more designs in our women's watches with link bracelets.

Inside is a quartz movement with analogue display, which keeps time without winding and needs no regular attention beyond a battery change when the time comes. It is a women's watch designed for daily wear rather than occasions only, and the smaller case size makes it comfortable through a full working day.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. That covers splashes and a brief shower of rain, but it is not meant for swimming or diving, so take it off before bathing. As with any watch that combines wood and steel, wiping it dry after contact with water and keeping it away from harsh cleaning products will help it look good for longer.
