Akzent men's watch grey metal bracelet 42 mm Arabic numerals

If you want a watch that tells the time clearly, goes with a shirt on Monday and a hoodie on Saturday, and needs no fuss, this Akzent is built for you. It is a quartz men's watch with a round 42 mm case, a black dial and a grey metal bracelet.

Reading the dial

The black background and the Arabic numerals make the time easy to read at a glance, with no guessing between similar-looking markers. The hour markers are silver-coloured, so they stand out well against the dial. The glass is mineral.

Case, movement and water

The case measures 42 mm across and 10 mm thick, a standard size for a men's watch that stays comfortable under a cuff. If you are unsure how that will sit on your wrist, our watch size guide will help. Inside is a Y121 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any winding. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. It is not meant for the shower, the bath or swimming. The watch weighs 109 g.

The bracelet

The grey metal bracelet is made of links, and you shorten it by removing links to fit your wrist. Keep the ones you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes it easily and helps stop the watch slipping off as you take it away from your wrist. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, the measurement to know if you ever want to swap the bracelet for another strap. The total length is 22.5 cm.

It is an easy watch to wear every day, from the office to the weekend, and the neutral grey and black scheme fits most outfits.
