Cheap Classique men's watch 36 mm black faux leather strap

This Classique watch is built for daily use: a men's quartz watch with a slim 36 mm case that slips under a shirt cuff and sits comfortably on narrower wrists. It is also inexpensive, which makes it an easy spare for the desk or the weekend.

Dial and case

The white dial gives the hands good contrast, and the Arabic numerals leave no doubt when you check the time. The round case is silver-tone metal, 36 mm across and 9 mm thick, with a mineral glass cover. The analogue display needs no setting up beyond the crown, and the quartz movement keeps steady time without any attention. When the battery runs down, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals.

Strap and fit

The black faux leather strap wipes clean with a damp cloth. It closes with a pin buckle, so you can adjust it hole by hole until it feels right. The strap is 18 mm wide between the lugs, worth noting if you ever want a replacement, and 23 cm long in total. If you like the look and want to compare, take a look at our men's leather strap watches.

Plain and understated, it goes with a suit, a jumper or a T-shirt, and it is light enough that you will forget it is on your wrist.
