Men's watch Akzent white dial black faux leather strap 42 mm

If you want a watch you can read in a glance and forget about the rest of the day, this Akzent is built for you. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 42 mm case, a white dial and a black faux leather strap, aimed at anyone who dresses smart for work but doesn't want to fuss over their wrist.

Quartz movement

Inside is a Y121 quartz movement, so the time stays reliable with no winding and no routine. When the battery eventually runs low, take the watch to a watchmaker, who can swap it and check the seals at the same time.

Dial and legibility

The white dial keeps things clear. Arabic numerals alternate with baton markers, so you read the hour without counting lines, and the markers are gold-tone for a bit of warmth. A mineral glass covers the dial and copes well with everyday knocks.

Case and water resistance

The metal case has a gold-tone finish and measures 42 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist that slips under a shirt cuff without trouble. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means rain and hand washing are fine, while showers, baths and swimming are not.

On the wrist

The black faux leather strap is 20 mm wide and 24.5 cm long overall. It closes with a pin buckle that adjusts hole by hole, and a damp cloth is all it needs to look tidy again. If you like the look, you can compare it with our other men's watches on a leather-style strap.

Day to day, this is a watch for the office, meetings and smart-casual weekends, where the black strap and white dial go with just about everything in your wardrobe.
