Excellanc watch for men brown faux leather strap 43.5 mm

A warm brown strap and a white dial make this Excellanc an easy partner for navy knitwear, grey flannel, chinos and open-collar shirts. The gold-tone case adds a quiet touch of warmth without turning the watch into a statement piece. It is a quartz men's watch with a round 43.5 mm case, and if you like the look of brown straps you can browse more men's leather strap watches in the shop.

Reading the dial

The white dial gives good contrast with the hands, and the Arabic numerals mean you can read the time at a glance. The hour markers are black. The date sits in a small window, so the watch covers the one extra function most people actually use. Display is analogue throughout.

Case and movement

The metal case measures 43.5 mm across and 10 mm thick, with a mineral glass front. It has a definite presence on the wrist, so if your wrist is slim, check that the case will not overhang it. Inside is an SL28 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or adjustment. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the watch is open.

The strap

The brown faux leather strap is soft, 22 mm wide and easy to look after. Total length is 25.5 cm, and it closes with a standard pin buckle. Wipe it clean when needed and it will keep its colour well.

On the wrist, this is a watch that does not shout. The gold-tone case catches the eye briefly, then settles into the background. It suits the office, a dinner or a weekend walk equally well.
