If you prefer a watch that stays quietly in the background, this Excellanc is likely to suit you. It is a men's watch with a 40 mm round case in a silver finish, a blue dial and a quartz movement, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to add a refined piece to your collection. It also sits well among the minimalist men's watches in the shop.
The blue dial is set off by silver-tone hour markers and Arabic numerals, so the time is clear without any effort. The display is analogue, with nothing added that would clutter the face.
The quartz movement keeps reliable time without any winding. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. The metal case measures 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic. The watch weighs 46 g.
The silver-coloured stainless steel bracelet is an expanding type, so it slides onto the wrist with no buckle to fasten. Total length is 20 cm, and the width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the measurement to note if you ever want to change the bracelet.
Plain and easy to match, it works as well with a shirt at the office as with a casual weekend outfit, and it is light enough to wear all day.
