Men's watch Excellanc 43.5 mm grey faux leather strap

The first thing you notice is the quiet colour scheme: a grey dial set in a silver-tone metal case, finished with a grey faux leather strap. It looks calm and a little understated, and it sits at 43.5 mm, so it has real presence on the wrist. This is a men's quartz watch from Excellanc with analogue display and a date window.

Reading the dial

The grey dial is easy on the eye, with Arabic numerals and white hour markers, so you can read the time at a glance without thinking about it. A small window shows the date. The round case is protected by a mineral glass.

Size and fit

At 43.5 mm across and 10 mm thick, this is a watch you will notice wearing. If you have a slim wrist, check that the case does not overhang it before you decide. The strap measures 25.5 cm in total length and closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole until it sits just right.

What is inside

The movement is an SL28 quartz, which means there is nothing to wind and very little to think about. The only upkeep is replacing the battery from time to time.

The strap

The grey faux leather strap is soft and simple to look after. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want to swap it for another strap. If you like the look of leather, our men's watches with leather-style straps are worth a browse too.

It is a watch you can put on in the morning and forget about, from the office to the weekend. The muted grey tones go easily with shirts and jackets as well as casual clothes.
