Raptor silver-tone ladies' watch baton markers steel

This Raptor watch has a 36 mm round case that is 9 mm thick. On the wrist that puts it in the middle ground: large enough to read at a glance, slim enough to slide under a cuff. If you are unsure how a diameter will wear on your own wrist, the watch size guide explains how to compare measurements.

The case is metal in a silver tone, and the dial matches it. Baton markers replace numerals, so the face stays clean and uncluttered. The overall effect is a single, consistent shade of silver-tone from dial to bracelet, with no contrasting accents to compete with it.

The bracelet is stainless steel, made of links, and it is also silver-tone. It closes with a deployment clasp, which keeps the bracelet fastened in a loop rather than pulling it open and apart each time you put the watch on or take it off. The bracelet is 14 mm wide. The total length, watch included, is 23 cm. To adjust the fit, you remove links.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display: hands only, no digital screen. Quartz keeps time steadily and needs no winding, which suits a watch you intend to wear most days.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. In practice that covers splashes and rain, so keep it off for showers, swimming and anything involving submersion.

Silver-tone is easy to wear with most colours, so this women's watch works equally well with office clothes and with something more relaxed in the evening. It is a plain, practical design from Raptor.
