Akzent watch for men blue faux leather strap

If you like a watch that looks tidy with a shirt on Monday and still feels right with a T-shirt on Saturday, this Akzent is aimed at you. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 42 mm metal case, a silver-tone dial and a blue faux leather strap, and it keeps things refreshingly simple.

Reading the time at a glance

The dial is silver-tone with slim line indexes, so the hands stand out and there is nothing to decode. The display is analogue, with no extra clutter. The glass is mineral, which stands up to scratches better than plastic does.

Movement and water resistance

Inside is a Y121 quartz movement, which keeps steady time without any winding or fuss. When the battery runs low, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so splashes and a wet hand are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.

Case, strap and clasp

The case is 42 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists and slips under a cuff without a struggle. The blue faux leather strap is soft, easy to wipe clean and 20 mm wide, with a total length of 24.5 cm. It fastens with a classic pin buckle.

Day to day, it works as an easy everyday piece, from the office to the weekend, and the blue strap adds a touch of colour without shouting about it.
