Akzent men's watch 42 mm black faux leather strap black dial

The first thing you notice is the strap: black faux leather, soft and flexible, with none of the stiffness of a new genuine leather band. It sits on a 42 mm round metal case in black, and together they give this Akzent men's watch a sleek, all-dark look.

Strap and clasp

The black faux leather strap is 20 mm wide and measures 24 cm in total length. It closes with a standard pin buckle, so you set the fit exactly where you want it. Faux leather is easy to look after: a quick wipe is usually all it needs.

Case and size

At 42 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case suits most men's wrists without looking oversized or bulky. The glass is mineral, and the case is metal finished in black to match the dial.

Reading the time

The dial is black, with Arabic numerals marking the hours. The time reads at a glance, with no guesswork. The display is analogue, as you would expect.

Movement and water resistance

Inside is a PC32 quartz movement. It is accurate, needs no winding or setting routine, and all you do is replace the battery when it runs down. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means splashes are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.

Black on black goes with a shirt and tie just as easily as with a casual shirt or a jumper at the weekend. It is light and unfussy enough to wear every day, from the office through to Saturday errands.
