Flair men's watch 42 mm white dial

Plenty of everyday watches stop at telling the time. This Flair men's watch goes a little further: a date window, luminous hands and indexes, and 5 ATM water resistance, all in a silver-tone 42 mm case with a bright white dial that is easy to read at a glance.

Easy to read, day and night

The white dial gives a clean, high-contrast read, and the Arabic numerals mean you never have to stop and work out the hour. The date sits in a small window. The hands and indexes carry a luminous coating, so after a bit of light exposure they stay visible when the room goes dark.

Simple quartz inside

Behind the dial is a quartz movement, which is accurate and needs no winding or setting routine. The only upkeep is changing the battery now and then. The case is metal with a mineral glass, 12 mm thick and 96 g in weight. The 5 ATM rating copes with rain and splashes, but it is best to take the watch off for swimming.

Getting the fit right

The silver-tone bracelet is made of links, and you adjust it by removing one or more of them. Keep any you take out in case you need them later. The folding clasp closes with a click and stays secure on your wrist. The bracelet is 22 cm long in total, and the width between the lugs is 22 mm, which is worth noting if you ever want a replacement bracelet. If you are unsure whether 42 mm suits your wrist, our watch size guide explains sizing and how to remove links.

It is an easy watch to live with, equally at home at your desk on a weekday and out and about at the weekend, with nothing fussy to look after.
