Excellanc wooden men's watch 38 mm black wood bracelet

The case of this Excellanc watch is made from wood rather than metal, so the grain runs a little differently from one piece to the next. The result is a black 38 mm round case that weighs just 33 g and feels remarkably light once it is on your wrist.

A case that is easy on the wrist

At 38 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case sits comfortably under a shirt cuff and suits most wrist sizes. The black finish lets the natural veining show through subtly, and a mineral glass protects the dial. If you like the idea of a simple, traditional shape, you will find more in our range of classic men's watches.

Reading the time at a glance

The dial is black, and the silver-coloured round hour markers stand out clearly against it, along with the hands. It is an analogue display with nothing extra to decode, which is exactly why it is so quick to read. The quartz movement keeps accurate time without any winding, and all it asks of you is a new battery every so often.

Wooden bracelet and clasp

The bracelet is also made of black wood, matching the case so the whole watch looks of a piece. A deployant clasp closes it easily and keeps the watch securely on your wrist when you open it. The total length is 23 cm, and the width between the lugs is 18 mm, which is worth noting if you ever want to fit a replacement strap.

This is a watch for ordinary days, from the office desk to a relaxed weekend. It is light enough that you may forget you are wearing it, and distinctive enough that someone is bound to ask what it is made of.
