Most quartz watches are content to be small and forgettable. This Elite men's watch takes the opposite view: a 50 mm round case in silver-tone metal, set against a grey dial and a black leather strap. It is a watch with presence, made for those who prefer a bold, quiet statement to a fussy one.
At 50 mm across and 14 mm thick, the case sits firmly in the large-watch category, so it suits a wider wrist or anyone who likes a substantial piece. The metal case has a silver finish and carries a mineral glass. The grey dial keeps reading easy, with Arabic numerals and baton markers working together so there is never any doubt about the time. The display is analogue.
Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and simple, with no winding or regular adjustment. Only the battery needs changing every so often. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes, rain and hand washing. Take it off before a shower or a swim, and keep the leather away from water as well.
The strap is genuine leather in black, 24 mm wide, with a total length of 26 cm. It closes with a pin buckle and will soften and take on your wrist's shape as the weeks go by. If you enjoy comparing styles, you can browse our men's leather strap watches to see how this one sits among them.
On the wrist, the leather strap and the restrained grey and silver palette make it a natural companion to office wear, from a plain shirt to a tailored jacket. It is a watch that does its job without calling attention to itself.
