Akzent watch for men metal bracelet silver-tone dial 42 mm

The case and bracelet of this Akzent men's watch are both metal in a silver tone, so it feels cool and solid on the wrist from the first minute. The round case measures 42 mm across and 10 mm thick, and the dial matches the metalwork in silver.

Movement

Inside is a Y121 quartz movement with an analogue display. It keeps accurate time and needs no winding or setting. Now and then the battery needs replacing, and that is all the upkeep it asks for.

Dial and glass

The silver-tone dial is plain and easy to read. Baton hour markers are blue, which gives a clear contrast against the silver. A mineral glass covers the dial and stands up well to everyday knocks.

Bracelet and fit

The metal bracelet is silver-tone, 22 mm wide and 21.5 cm long overall. It closes with a deployant clasp, which fastens easily and lets you take the watch off without it slipping from your hand. A 42 mm case suits most men's wrists, and if you are unsure, the watch size guide will help you decide.

Water resistance

Water resistance is 3 ATM. That covers splashes, so rain or hand washing is fine. Showers, baths and swimming are not, so take it off before them.

It is an easy watch to wear from the office through to the weekend. The metal bracelet and neutral silver tone go with most outfits, and there is nothing to adjust from one day to the next.
