Plenty of simple watches stop at a plain dial and a strap. This Akzent goes a step further: an all-black look from case to bracelet, a deployant clasp that makes it feel like a more considered piece, and a quartz movement (Y121) that asks very little of you. It is a men's watch with a round 42 mm case, and it suits anyone who likes a quiet, dark style.
The dial is black, with grey baton markers for the hours. That contrast keeps things clear and uncluttered, so you can check the time quickly without squinting. The display is analogue, and the mineral glass protects the dial.
The case is black metal, 42 mm across and 10 mm thick, a size that sits comfortably on most men's wrists without feeling bulky. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means you can wear it in the rain or while washing your hands. Showers, baths and swimming are not recommended. Inside, the quartz movement keeps things simple: when the battery runs out, you just replace it.
The black metal bracelet is sturdy and 22 mm wide, with a total length of 21.5 cm. The deployant clasp closes with a click and keeps the watch on your wrist when you open it. If you enjoy this look, you will find similar styles among our men's metal bracelet watches.
Day to day, this is an easy watch to live with. The dark metal bracelet works with a shirt at the office just as well as with jeans at the weekend, so you can put it on in the morning and not think about it again.
