At 43.5 mm across and 10 mm thick, this Excellanc is a watch that sits boldly on the wrist. It suits medium to large wrists best, where the round silver-coloured metal case looks proportionate rather than oversized. It is a men's watch with a blue dial, a blue faux leather strap and a quartz movement, the SL28.
The blue dial is easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals and white hour markers do the work, so there is no squinting at the time. A small window shows the date, which is the only extra function. The mineral glass over the dial copes well with daily knocks and scratches.
The SL28 quartz movement keeps reliable time without any winding or fuss. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals while the case is open.
The blue faux leather strap wipes clean with a damp cloth, which keeps upkeep simple. It fastens with a pin buckle, and the total length is 25.5 cm. The gap between the lugs is 22 mm, the measurement to note if you ever want to change the strap. If you like this style, you can browse more men's leather strap watches in the same family.
In everyday wear, the blue and silver pairing slips easily under a shirt cuff and looks equally at home with a suit or a casual jacket. It is a watch for the office, for weekends and for anything in between.
