Men's watch Akzent 42 mm grey faux leather strap grey dial

The strap on this Akzent is grey faux leather, soft and flexible with a smooth finish, and it sits against the wrist without the stiffness a new leather strap often has. It is paired with a round 42 mm case in a silver-tone metal and a grey dial, so the whole watch stays in one quiet palette.

Strap and fit

The strap is 20 mm wide and 23 cm long in total. It closes with a pin buckle, so you can adjust it hole by hole until it sits where you want it. Faux leather is easy to look after: a wipe with a slightly damp cloth is usually enough. If you like this kind of strap, you can compare it with other men's leather strap watches in the shop.

Case and dial

The case measures 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, a standard size for a men's watch that slides under a shirt cuff without catching. The mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. The dial is grey with Arabic numerals, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance.

Movement and water resistance

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display. It keeps accurate time without any servicing. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

This is a watch for every day, from the office to the weekend. The grey strap and silver-tone case go easily with work clothes, and the modest thickness means you will barely notice it on your wrist.
