The black metal case of this Alain Miller is round, 42 mm across and 11 mm thick, and it sits over a black dial with baton hour markers and a quartz SL28 movement. It is an analogue men's watch with a plain, practical layout, and it is also an inexpensive one.
The case is made of metal in black, matching the dial. The glass is mineral, which resists scratches better than plastic. A 42 mm diameter suits most men's wrists, and if you are unsure about fit, the watch size guide will help you decide.
The black dial gives a clear read, with slim baton markers that keep it uncluttered. The SL28 quartz movement keeps accurate time without any maintenance. When the battery runs down, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals.
The strap is black synthetic leather and closes with a pin buckle. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth when needed. The total strap length is 25.5 cm, and the width between the lugs is 22 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever want to fit a replacement strap.
Understated and easy to forget on the wrist, this watch works with a shirt or a suit, and the black strap keeps the look consistent from the office to the weekend.
