Cheap Excellanc watch for men silver-tone dial 40 mm

Silver is the easy colour to live with, and this Excellanc leans into it fully: silver-tone dial, silver-tone case, silver bracelet. It sits happily with a navy shirt, a grey jumper or a plain white tee and jeans, and it is an inexpensive way to get a smart-looking everyday watch. It is a men's quartz watch with a 40 mm round case.

Reading the time at a glance

The silver dial keeps things clear. Arabic numerals and baton markers work together, so you can read the time without counting marks, and the markers are blue for a touch of contrast. The hands carry a luminescent coating, so after a little time in the light they stay readable in the dark. The sub-dials give it the look of a chronograph, but that is purely a style detail and not a function.

Case, movement and bracelet

The metal case measures 40 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists without feeling bulky. Inside is a quartz movement, which means no winding and no adjusting. You simply change the battery when it runs down. The stainless steel bracelet closes with a hook clasp, and the lug width is 20 mm, which is the number to keep in mind if you ever want to swap it. If you like the look, you can browse more men's watches with a mesh strap in the shop.

This is a watch for the days that run from the office to the weekend without a change of outfit. Put it on in the morning and it simply gets on with the job.
