Raptor silver-tone watch for women steel bracelet Marienne

You are at your desk, and your wrist catches the light every time you reach for the keyboard. That is the setting this Raptor watch is made for: a quiet, silver-tone presence that does its job without asking for attention.

The round case is metal in a silver tone and measures 36 mm across, with a thickness of 9 mm. The dial is silver-toned too, and it carries Roman numerals, a classic detail that keeps the face easy to read and easy to match with other pieces. Because case, dial and bracelet share the same finish, the whole watch looks consistent from every angle.

The bracelet is stainless steel, made of links, and it is 14 mm wide. Total length is 23 cm, case included. To fit your wrist you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how to work out the right length before you start. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet securely and stops the watch from dropping when you open it.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display. It needs no special upkeep: the only routine task is replacing the battery from time to time. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. In practice that means it copes with splashes, such as washing your hands or a light shower of rain. It is not meant for showering or swimming, so take it off before either.

Silver-tone is easy to wear from the office to an evening out, and it sits comfortably with most of a wardrobe, whether your jewellery is cool-toned or mixed.
