Akzent men's watch black faux leather strap 40 mm

The black faux leather strap is the first thing you notice on this Akzent: smooth, supple against the wrist and easy to live with, with none of the fuss of real leather. Paired with a round 40 mm case in a silver colour and a white dial, it makes for a clean, quiet men's watch.

What drives it

Inside you will find a quartz movement, the PC21, with an analogue display. It is the practical, low-maintenance kind of calibre: nothing to wind, and when the battery eventually runs down you simply replace it. The metal case is 8.5 mm thick, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff, and the dial is covered by mineral glass.

Reading the dial

The white dial gives you a clear, uncluttered read at a glance. Silver-coloured baton markers set out the hours with crisp precision, so there is never any guesswork when you are checking the time on the move.

Strap, fit and water

The strap is 20 mm wide and 24 cm long in total, closing with a pin buckle that adjusts hole by hole until it sits just right. A wipe with a damp cloth is all the cleaning it needs. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means rain and handwashing are fine, but showering, bathing and swimming are not.

Plain and versatile, this watch goes with most things you wear, from office shirts to a weekend jumper.

For daily wear, it is the sort of watch you put on in the morning and forget about until you glance down to check the time.
