Cheap Excellanc watch for men 40 mm faux leather black dial

Black dial, brown strap: this is a combination that works with almost everything, from a navy jumper and chinos at the weekend to a crisp shirt and dark trousers on a weekday. The Excellanc is a round men's quartz watch with a 40 mm case, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to get a dependable everyday piece.

Dial and legibility

The black dial keeps things simple. Arabic numerals mark the hours, and the white indices stand out clearly against the dark background, so you can read the time at a glance without squinting or second-guessing a number. The display is analogue throughout.

Case size and build

The case is black metal, 40 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. If you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you decide. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks, and the whole watch weighs 27 g, so you will hardly notice it on the arm.

Movement

Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs flat, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals at the same time.

Strap and fit

The brown faux leather strap is soft, easy to look after and closes with a classic pin buckle. The total length is 24 cm, and the width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is worth noting if you ever want to fit a replacement strap.

With its brown strap, this watch sits comfortably alongside office outfits, yet it is relaxed enough to wear every day, at work and at the weekend alike.
