This Just Watch suits the man who likes a watch to look settled and well judged rather than loud: warm brown tones, a round 41 mm case in black metal and a quartz movement that asks for nothing. The model is called Theodor, and it sits comfortably among our men's leather strap watches.
The brown dial is easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals and baton indices work together, so there is never any doubt about the time. The sub-dials give it the look of a chronograph, but this is a matter of styling only and not a function.
A VD53 quartz movement keeps the time reliably with no winding and no attention. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time.
The case measures 41 mm across and 11 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists. It is made of black metal and protected by a mineral glass that copes well with daily wear. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means splashes are fine, but showering, bathing and swimming are not.
The brown leather strap softens and develops a patina over time, and it will last longer if kept away from water. It fastens with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, and the total length is 25 cm. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm, the measurement to know if you ever wish to change the strap.
It is a watch for every day, equally at home at the office and over the weekend, and its quiet colouring pairs easily with a shirt, a knit or a jacket.
