Men's watch black leather black dial

Black on black with a silver-tone case: this Flair watch is an easy match for a dark suit, a navy jumper or a plain white shirt, and it looks just as at home with jeans and a grey tee. It is a quartz men's watch with an analogue display and a date window, on a black leather strap.

A dial you can read at a glance

The black dial gives strong contrast, and the Arabic numerals leave no room for second guesses. The hour markers are silver-tone, and the date sits in a small window so you can check it without fuss.

Case and water resistance

The case is stainless steel in a silver colour, 12 mm thick, and its oval shape is a pleasant change from the usual round case. It handles sweat and everyday damp without complaint. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes. If you plan to swim, take it off first.

Quartz movement

Quartz keeps the time accurate with no winding or routine servicing. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

The strap and how it wears

The black leather strap closes with a pin buckle and softens to your wrist over the first weeks. Try to keep it dry, as leather lasts much longer that way. Total strap length is 26 cm, and the width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure you need if you ever want to swap straps.

It is a quiet, understated watch that you will soon stop noticing on your wrist, which is just what you want for the office on Monday and a long walk on Sunday.
