Men's watch Excellanc black faux leather strap 44 mm

Most basic quartz watches settle for a black or white dial and little else. This Excellanc goes a different way with a green dial set in a silver-tone metal case, a pairing that looks composed rather than loud. It is a men's watch with a round 44 mm case and a quartz SL28 movement.

What the dial offers

The green dial reads clearly, with slim line markers in silver tone for the hours. A small window shows the date, so the watch does a little more than tell the time without cluttering the face. The display is analogue throughout, and the crystal is mineral glass.

Size and movement

At 44 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case has real presence and suits medium to larger wrists best. The quartz movement keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.

Strap and fit

The black faux leather strap wipes clean with a damp cloth. It closes with a pin buckle and adjusts hole by hole, with a total length of 26 cm. The distance between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap. If you like this style, you can browse more men's watches with leather straps.

The black strap and green dial keep it quietly smart, so it sits as easily with a shirt at work as with a casual jumper at the weekend.
