Raptor blue women's watch 32 mm steel bracelet

Think of a deep blue case set against a warm chocolate-brown dial, and you already know what this Raptor will sit well with: a cream knit, a white shirt, a camel coat, dark denim. The two tones are unusual together, which is exactly why it catches the eye without ever shouting. Called "Beauty" by the brand, it is a round women's watch with slim baton hour markers, so the dial stays clean and the time is easy to read at a glance.

At 32 mm across and 7 mm thick, the case is neat and well balanced, and it slips under a cuff instead of snagging on it. The case and the bracelet are both stainless steel, and the brown and blue links give the wrist a polished, put-together look. The bracelet is 14 mm wide and the watch measures 20 cm in total. A deployant clasp keeps it securely closed and stops it from dropping off when you take it off. If you like this style, you will find more like it in our women's watches with link bracelets.

Inside, a Miyota GL30 quartz movement keeps accurate time without any fuss, and the glass is mineral. As for water, the watch is splash resistant, so rain or washing your hands is fine, but it should not go in the shower or in the water. It moves easily from the office to a weekend lunch to an evening out, and it would make a thoughtful gift for someone who likes a watch with a bit of colour.
