The first thing you notice is the contrast: a white dial against a silver-tone case, set on a black strap. It is a clean, round men's watch from Excellanc, with a 43.5 mm case and a quartz movement that keeps things simple.
The white dial gives the hands a clear background, and the Arabic numerals mean you can read the time at a glance. The date sits in a small window, so you can check it without touching anything.
The metal case measures 43.5 mm across and 10 mm thick, with a mineral glass. That is a presence you will notice on the wrist. If your wrist is on the slim side, take a look at our watch size guide before you choose.
Inside is an SL28 quartz movement, which keeps time reliably without any winding. When the battery eventually runs low, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.
The black faux leather strap is 22 mm wide and 25.5 cm long overall. It closes with a pin buckle and wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Plain and understated, it is the sort of watch that sits quietly on your wrist from the morning commute to the evening out.
