Cheap Clasixx men's watch silver-tone dial

Most budget watches settle for a plain dial and nothing else. This Clasixx goes a little further: a silver-tone dial with Arabic numerals, a round 40 mm case and luminescent hands, all on a black synthetic leather strap. It is also an inexpensive watch, which makes the finish easier to appreciate.

Dial and movement

The silver-tone dial keeps the face bright and uncluttered, and the Arabic numerals let you read the time at a glance. The hands carry a luminescent coating, so after some exposure to light they stay visible in the dark. Inside is a quartz movement, the SL68, with analogue display. It needs no winding or adjusting, and the battery is the only part you will ever have to replace.

Case and strap

The round case is made of silver-tone metal, measures 40 mm across and is 9 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist that sits slim under a cuff. The glass is mineral. The black synthetic leather strap closes with a pin buckle and wipes clean with a damp cloth. The distance between the lugs is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want to fit a replacement strap, and the overall length is 23 cm.

The silver and black pairing is quiet enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend, so this men's watch can be worn daily without much thought.
