At first glance, the black dial against the silver-tone case looks composed and uncluttered, and the zebra print strap adds a quiet touch of character. This is a men's watch from Excellanc with a quartz movement, an analogue display and a round 40 mm case, and it is inexpensive for what it offers.
The case is made of metal in a silver colour, 40 mm across and 8 mm thick, which keeps it slim enough to slide under a cuff. The dial is black and easy to read, with Arabic numerals that leave no room for doubt about the time. Inside, the quartz movement keeps time steadily without any winding. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The glass is mineral. The watch weighs 27 g, so it sits lightly on the wrist. If you are unsure whether 40 mm suits you, this watch size guide will help you decide.
The strap is faux leather with a zebra print, soft to the touch and simple to keep clean with a damp cloth. It is 20 mm wide and 24 cm long overall, and it fastens with a classic pin buckle, so you can adjust the fit to your wrist.
This is an easy watch to wear from one day to the next. The restrained dial and silver-tone case sit well with office clothes, while the patterned strap keeps it relaxed enough for the weekend.
