Black on black, with a zebra-patterned dial for a little personality: this Excellanc watch sits happily with dark denim, a charcoal knit or a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled once. It is a 41 mm round men's watch with a quartz movement and an analogue display, and it suits the kind of wardrobe where everything is understated apart from the wrist.
The metal case is black and measures 41 mm across by 8 mm thick, a comfortable size that slips under a cuff without fuss. The zebra-patterned dial keeps the reading clear, and slim baton hour markers give it structure without crowding it. The glass is mineral, and the watch weighs 51 g. Inside, the quartz movement keeps steady time with no winding. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time.
The black stainless steel mesh moulds to your wrist and lets the air through, which makes it pleasant to wear for a full day. It is 20 mm wide with a total length of 26 cm. The magnetic clasp simply clips shut, so there is no pin to fiddle with. If you like this look, you will find more like it among our men's mesh strap watches.
It is an easy watch to live with: smart enough for the office, relaxed enough for the weekend, and quiet enough that it goes with almost everything you already own.
