Most basic quartz watches at this level come on a buckled strap and a case that sits large on the wrist. This Excellanc is different on both counts: the 36 mm case suits slim wrists, and the stainless steel bracelet expands, so there is no buckle to fasten. It is also an inexpensive way to get a metal-bracelet watch with a black dial.
The round case is made of silver-coloured metal, 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, which lets it slide under a shirt cuff without catching. The dial is black with Arabic numerals and gold-tone hour markers, so the time reads at a glance. It uses a quartz movement with analogue display, and the glass is mineral, which resists scratches better than plastic. The whole watch weighs 47 g. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals.
The bracelet is stainless steel in the same silver tone as the case, 18 mm wide, with a total length of 22.5 cm. Because it expands, you simply slide it over your hand and it sits in place. If you want to compare it with similar models, have a look at our men's watches with a metal bracelet.
For everyday wear, the compact size, light weight and quick on-and-off bracelet make it an easy choice for the office, weekends or anywhere you want a neat, understated watch that does not get in the way.
