Elite men's watch 49 mm black faux leather strap

The strap is where you notice this Elite watch first. It is black faux leather, soft to the touch and easy to look after, and it sits quietly against a black dial and a black metal case. Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display.

On the wrist

The round case measures 49 mm across and 13 mm thick, and it weighs 91 g, so this is a big, solid watch for larger wrists or anyone who likes a bold presence. If you are unsure how that will sit on you, the watch size guide is a handy place to check. The strap is 24 mm wide and 25 cm long in total, and it closes with a pin buckle.

Reading the time

The black dial combines Arabic numerals with baton markers, so the time reads at a glance with no guesswork. A mineral glass covers the dial.

Movement and water

The quartz movement keeps reliable time without any fuss. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which means splashes are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.

It is an easy watch to wear every day, from the office to the weekend, and the all-black look goes with just about anything in your wardrobe.
