Men's watch Alain Miller white dial 42 mm cheap

If you want a plain, easy-to-read watch for work and weekends, and you would rather not spend much on it, this Alain Miller is a sensible pick. It is a men's quartz watch with a white dial, a black metal case and a black synthetic leather strap, and it is inexpensive without looking stripped back.

Movement, dial and functions

The watch runs on an SL28 quartz movement with analogue display, so the time stays accurate without any winding. When the battery weakens, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The white dial uses Arabic numerals, which makes the time quick to read at a glance. The hands are luminescent: after exposure to light, they stay readable in the dark. A small window on the dial shows the date. The glass is mineral.

Case, strap and fit

The round case measures 42 mm across and 9.5 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. If you are unsure how that sits on your own wrist, our watch size guide explains how to choose. The case is black metal and the watch weighs 31 g. The strap is black synthetic leather, 20 mm wide, with a total length of 25.5 cm and a pin buckle clasp. It wipes clean with a damp cloth.

With its black and white colouring and modest thickness, it goes with a shirt as easily as with a jumper and jeans, which makes it a watch you can put on in the morning and forget about.
