Obaku watch for women gold-tone leather strap

This Obaku is slim and light on the wrist: the case is just 7 mm thick, so it slips under a sleeve or cuff without catching. The oval shape sets it apart from the usual round dials, and the strap is only 8 mm wide, which keeps the whole watch neat and delicate. The total length is 20 cm, case included.

The case is stainless steel in a gold-tone finish, warm rather than flashy. It pairs with a soft leather strap that is a little narrower at the clasp end, giving the watch a clean, tapered line when it is fastened.

The pin buckle clasp is the classic kind. You choose the hole that suits your wrist, so the fit is set to your own measure and not left to chance.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. It is simple and dependable, and when the battery runs out a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. That is enough for rain and splashes, but keep the watch out of the shower and the pool.

It works from Monday morning to Saturday night, with a shirt, a knit or an evening dress. If you like the warm tone, you can browse more gold-tone watches for women in the shop. It also arrives in a presentation box, which makes it an easy choice as a gift.
