If you want a watch that reads quickly, looks sharp with a shirt and still copes with a rainy commute, this Just Watch is built for you. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 44 mm case in silver-tone metal, a black dial and a black leather strap. It sits comfortably among our men's leather strap watches, with a bolder case than most.
The black dial makes the silver-tone hour markers stand out, so you can read the time at a glance, even on the move. A small window shows the date. The hands and the markers are both luminescent: let them soak up some light and they will still glow when the room goes dark. The movement is quartz with an analogue display, which keeps time accurately and asks nothing of you until the battery needs replacing. A watchmaker can do that and check the seals while the case is open.
The case measures 44 mm across and 11 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal. It is a presence on the wrist, so if yours is on the slim side, check that the case does not overhang. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and handwashing. For swimming, take it off. The black leather strap fastens with a pin buckle and adjusts hole by hole. It softens and takes your shape over the first weeks, and it will last longer if you keep it away from water. The gap between the lugs is 22 mm, the measurement to note if you ever want to swap the strap. Total strap length is 24 cm, and the watch weighs 59 g.
Black leather and a silver-tone case make this an easy watch to live with, from a desk and a shirt cuff during the week to jeans and a jacket at the weekend.
