Looking for a present for a man who just wants a watch that works and looks right with everything? This Flair men's watch is an easy answer: a black dial, a black leather strap and a plain 40 mm round case in silver-tone stainless steel. It is one of the many men's leather strap watches in the shop.
The black dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the Arabic numerals sit alongside baton markers, so there is never any doubt about the time. The markers are silver-tone. Both the hands and the markers are luminescent: let them soak up some light and they stay readable in the dark. A small window shows the date. Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps good time without any fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals while the watch is open.
The case is 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists without looking oversized, and it is made of stainless steel with a mineral glass. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain, splashes and handwashing are fine, but it is not meant for swimming. The black leather strap is 22 mm wide, 24 cm long overall, and closes with a pin buckle you adjust hole by hole. Leather softens and develops character with time, so keep it away from water and it will last. The whole watch weighs 70 g.
Understated and light, it is the kind of watch you put on in the morning and forget about until you need the time, whether at work, at the weekend or at a family dinner.
