Looking for a gift for a man who prefers to keep things simple? This Elite men's watch pairs a blue dial with a blue leather strap and a silver-tone case, a combination that looks smart without drawing too much attention. It is a quartz watch with an analogue display, and the round case measures 45 mm across.
The blue dial is easy to read, with slim line indexes in silver-tone marking the hours so the face stays uncluttered. Inside, the quartz movement keeps reliable time without any winding or fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.
The metal case is 45 mm in diameter and 12 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal. It has a definite presence, so it suits medium to large wrists best. The watch weighs 74 g. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take it off before showering or swimming.
The blue leather strap is fastened with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole. It is 26 cm long overall and 22 mm wide between the lugs, a figure worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap. Leather softens and develops character with wear, and it lasts longer if you keep it away from water. If you like the look, you can compare it with other men's leather strap watches in the shop.
It is a watch for every day, equally at home at the office and at the weekend, and it makes a considered gift that will be worn rather than kept in a drawer.
