Raptor ladies' watch 34 mm brown wooden case and brown dial

The first thing you notice is the wood. This Raptor watch has a brown dial, a brown case and a brown bracelet, and the whole thing looks warm and natural rather than shiny and metallic.

The case is made of wood, so the grain is slightly different on every watch. Yours will have its own pattern, which is exactly the appeal. It also keeps the watch light on the wrist, and at 34 mm across and 7.5 mm thick, the round case sits neatly on most wrists without looking oversized.

The dial keeps things simple. Arabic numerals in a silver-tone finish stand out clearly against the brown background, so you can read the time at a glance. The display is analogue, protected by a mineral glass, and the movement is quartz, which means accurate timekeeping with no winding and no fuss.

The bracelet is made of brown links and is 15 mm wide, with a total length of 22.5 cm. To adjust it, you remove one or more links. If you are unsure how to go about it, the watch size guide walks you through it. A deployant clasp keeps the strap secure when you open it, so the watch does not drop off your wrist or onto the floor.

The colour is easy to wear. Brown goes with denim, knitwear, tailoring and evening outfits alike, so this watch works at the office, at the weekend and out in the evening.

On water resistance, the watch is splash resistant. Rain and hand washing are fine, but keep it away from the shower, the pool and the sea. It is a women's watch from Raptor, and the model is called Lenni.
