Raptor men's watch 52 mm dark brown leather strap

What strikes you first is the contrast: a black dial set inside a rose gold-tone case, with a dark brown leather strap to ground it all. The Raptor is a quartz men's watch with a 52 mm round case, and it wears its size quietly rather than shouting about it.

Reading the dial

The black background keeps the time easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals and baton indexes work together, so there is little room for doubt, and the indexes pick up the rose gold-tone of the case. The display is analogue, with a mineral glass over the top.

Movement and care

Inside is a Miyota JP15 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any servicing. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the watch is open.

Case and everyday protection

At 52 mm across and 13 mm thick, the metal case is a substantial one, best suited to larger wrists. The whole watch weighs 93 g. It is splash resistant only: a shower of rain or washing your hands is fine, but showering, bathing and swimming are not.

Strap and fit

The dark brown leather strap closes with a pin buckle and softens to your wrist over time. Keep it dry and it will last. The lug width is 24 mm, the figure to note if you ever fancy a different strap, and the total length is 26 cm. If you like the look, you can browse more men's leather strap watches in the shop.
