You are buttoning a shirt cuff, and the watch slides neatly underneath. That is the setting this Classique was made for: a 36 mm round men's watch with a white dial, a silver-tone case and a stainless steel expanding bracelet. It is also an inexpensive way to get a tidy, quartz-powered watch with a date window.
The white dial is easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals mark the hours, the indexes are black, and a small window shows the date. Inside, the analogue quartz movement keeps steady time without any winding. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open. The glass is mineral, which stands up to scratches better than plastic.
The metal case measures 36 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it sits low and suits slimmer wrists. If you are unsure how that diameter will look on you, our watch size guide will help you decide. The stainless steel bracelet is an expanding type with no clasp to fasten: you simply slide it over the hand and it settles on the wrist. Its total length is 20 cm, and the width between the lugs is 18 mm, which is the measurement to know if you ever want to swap the bracelet.
The silver-tone finish works as well with an office shirt and tie as with jeans on a Saturday. It is a plain, quiet watch for everyday wear, from the first meeting of the week to a weekend walk.
