Raptor men's wooden watch 36 mm grey dial

You are halfway through the first coffee of the day, and a glance at your wrist tells you the time without any fuss. That is the kind of quiet job this Raptor does well. It is a men's watch with a maple wood case, a grey dial and a square 36 mm profile.

Movement and legibility

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, so the time stays reliable without any winding or adjusting. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The grey dial reads quickly, even on the move. Silver-coloured line indexes mark the hours and keep the face uncluttered.

Case and everyday protection

The case is made of maple, which is light on the wrist, and the grain varies from one watch to the next. It measures 36 mm across and 10 mm thick, with a mineral glass and a square shape that makes a change from the usual round case. The whole watch weighs 42 g. It is splash resistant, so a shower of rain or washing your hands is fine, but showering, bathing and swimming are not. At this diameter it suits slimmer wrists, and our watch size guide will help you check the fit.

Grey link bracelet

The grey bracelet is made of links and is 16 mm wide, with a total length of 22.5 cm. To adjust it, you remove one or more links, and the size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet smoothly and keeps the watch on your wrist when you open it.

Wearing it day to day

Understated and easy to live with, this is a watch for ordinary days, from the office to a quiet weekend. The soft grey tones of the case, dial and bracelet sit comfortably with both a shirt and a plain knit.
