A watch you can pull on in the morning and forget about until evening: that is the idea behind this Excellanc men's watch. The quartz movement needs no winding and no setting, you simply replace the battery when it runs out. The round wooden case measures 43 mm across and 12 mm thick, and the whole watch weighs 44 g.
The dial is brown, with Arabic numerals and baton indexes working together, so you can read the time quickly even when you are on the move. The indexes are silver-coloured and stand out well against the brown background.
The case is made of zebrano wood in a warm brown, and no two pieces have quite the same grain. A mineral glass protects the dial and holds up to scratches better than plastic glass would. At 43 mm it has a confident presence on the wrist, so if yours is on the slim side, take a look at our watch size guide before you decide.
The brown bracelet is made of links, and you adjust it by removing one or more of them. The size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any links you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and means you never have to tug it over your hand, which helps keep the watch from slipping and dropping. The bracelet is 22 mm wide between the lugs, a useful figure to note if you ever want a replacement, and the total length is 24.5 cm.
The warm brown tones go equally well with a shirt at the office and a jumper at the weekend, so it can be your regular watch rather than one kept for special days. If you like a timeless look, it sits comfortably alongside our other classic men's watches.
