Grey on grey, steel on steel: this Noble watch pairs naturally with charcoal knitwear, a navy suit or a plain white tee and dark jeans. The rectangular case, the grey dial and the stainless steel bracelet all share the same cool tone, so it looks deliberate rather than busy.
Inside is a quartz movement, so the time is dependable without any winding or fiddling. The binary display shows the time in digits, which means no squinting at hands, while round hour markers on the grey dial keep the face tidy. When the battery eventually runs low, take the watch to a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while it is open.
The case is grey metal and just 9 mm thick, slim enough to slip under a shirt cuff. Its rectangular shape makes a change from the usual round cases, and the face is protected by mineral glass. The watch weighs 104 g, so you will notice it on the wrist in a reassuring way.
The grey stainless steel bracelet is 22 mm wide and 18 cm long overall. To adjust it, you remove one or more links, and it is worth keeping any you take out in case you need them later. Our watch size guide explains the steps. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet easily and stops the watch dropping when you take it off.
It is an easy watch for everyday wear, equally at home at the office and at the weekend.
