Akzent watch for men black dial black silicone strap

Looking for a present for a man who wants something dependable on his wrist every day? This Akzent men's watch pairs a black dial with a black silicone strap, and the tonneau-shaped case in silver-tone metal gives it a look that stands out from the usual round faces. It is a gift that is easy to like and easy to wear.

A dial that is easy on the eyes

The black dial sets off the hands clearly, and slim baton markers show the hours without crowding the face. Display is analogue, so reading the time takes a glance and nothing more. Under the dial sits a PC32 quartz movement, which keeps good time without any winding. When the battery eventually runs low, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

Case, glass and water resistance

The case is just 10 mm thick and weighs 57 g, so it slips under a cuff without fuss. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes and the odd rain shower, but the watch should come off before a shower or a swim.

The silicone strap

The black strap is 27 mm wide and 24.5 cm long in total, and it closes with a classic pin buckle. Silicone shrugs off sweat and water, and a quick rinse under the tap is all the cleaning it needs. If the person you are buying for likes this soft, practical feel, have a look at our other men's silicone strap watches too.

For the morning run, a session at the gym or a weekend spent fixing things around the house, this watch keeps up without asking for any special care. It is the sort of everyday companion that tends to end up on the wrist more often than any other.
