A watch you can put on in the morning and forget about until evening: the Excellanc in sandalwood weighs just 25 g, reads clearly at a glance and needs very little looking after. It is a men's watch with a round 44 mm case, a brown dial and a green faux leather strap, powered by a quartz movement.
The case is made of sandalwood and measures 12 mm thick. Wood is light on the wrist, and the grain differs from one watch to the next, so yours will be slightly its own. The brown dial carries Arabic numerals alongside baton hour markers, which are silver-coloured, so the time is easy to read without counting marks. The display is analogue and the glass is mineral. Inside, the quartz movement keeps steady time without any winding. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals.
The green faux leather strap is wiped clean with a damp cloth, which suits daily use. It closes with a pin buckle. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want to try another strap, and the total length is 23.5 cm. At 44 mm the case has real presence, so it sits best on medium to larger wrists. If you like the look of a leather-style strap, you will find similar models among our men's leather strap watches.
Warm brown and deep green make an easy pairing, understated enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend. It is a watch for every day rather than for special occasions.
