The strap on this Excellanc watch is black faux leather, soft to the touch and closed with a traditional pin buckle, which sets the tone for the whole piece: simple, tidy and made to be worn. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 40 mm case in a silver-coloured metal, and it is inexpensive without looking it.
The dial is white with Arabic numerals, so the hour is clear in a glance and there is nothing to decipher. The display is analogue, the way most people still like it. The case is 8 mm thick and the glass is mineral, which stands up to scratches better than plastic does. The whole watch weighs 27 g, so you will not feel it on your wrist.
At 40 mm across, the case suits most men's wrists. If you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you decide. The strap measures 20 mm between the lugs, a figure worth noting down if you ever want to fit a replacement. Its total length is 24 cm. Faux leather needs very little care, and a quick wipe is usually all it takes to keep it looking good.
The quartz movement keeps reliable time without any winding or fuss. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can swap it and, while the case is open, check the seals too.
Black strap, silver case, white dial: it is a combination that sits comfortably with a shirt and a jacket, and just as easily with a plain jumper at the weekend. You can put it on in the morning and not think about it again.
