The strap on this Excellanc is faux leather in black: smooth, light and flexible, with none of the stiffness a new genuine leather strap can have. It is paired with a round 32 mm metal case in a silver colour and a black dial, and at this size and price it is an inexpensive way to get a plain quartz watch for a man with a slim wrist.
The case is 32 mm across and 7 mm thick, so it sits flat and stays discreet under a cuff. Smaller watches suit slimmer wrists best, and if you are unsure where 32 mm falls for you, the watch size guide explains how to measure. The black dial uses Arabic numerals and white hour markers, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance. A mineral glass protects it in daily use.
Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. It keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs down, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.
The faux leather strap wipes clean with a damp cloth. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, so you can set it snugly. The strap measures 18 mm between the lugs, which is the figure to note if you ever want to fit a different one. Total length is 23.5 cm.
Plain and light, it is the kind of watch you stop noticing once it is on. It works for the office and the weekend alike, and goes with most everyday clothes.
