Raptor black women's watch 36 mm steel bracelet

Black from dial to bracelet, this Raptor watch works as a quiet finishing touch on dark tailoring, a white shirt or a chunky knit in grey or cream. It does not compete with jewellery, so you can wear it alone or stacked with thin chains and rings without the look getting busy. The round 36 mm case is a moderate size that sits neatly on most wrists, and at 8 mm thick it slips under a cuff without catching.

The case is metal in black, matching the black dial, and the display is analogue. The bracelet is stainless steel, also black, made of links and fastened with a clip clasp that closes in one movement. The mineral glass over the dial resists scratches better than plastic would. Everything is kept deliberately plain, which is what makes it easy to pair with other pieces.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement. It needs no winding and no special care, and when the battery runs out a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough to cope with a shower of rain or a splash at the sink. Take it off before showering or swimming.

The bracelet is 10 mm wide and about 20 cm long including the watch head. To adjust the fit, remove one or more links. If you are unsure how to measure your wrist first, our watch size guide explains it step by step. It also makes a tidy gift for anyone who prefers an understated look.
