Raptor men's watch steel bracelet 43 mm

The case of this Raptor men's watch is silver-coloured metal and the bracelet is stainless steel, so the first thing you notice is a cool, solid weight on the wrist rather than anything light or plasticky. The round case measures 43 mm across and 11 mm thick, and the model is called Serious.

Movement, dial and glass

Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or regular servicing. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. The dial is black with slim silver index lines, a plain layout that reads quickly at a glance and is not crowded by extra markings. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes only. Keep it away from showers, baths and swimming.

Case size and bracelet

At 43 mm the case has a definite presence and suits medium to large wrists. The silver-colour bracelet is made of links, is 20 mm wide and has a total length of 22 cm. To shorten it you remove links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out, as you may want them later. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and holds the watch on your wrist when you open it.

It is an easy watch to wear from one day to the next, whether you are at the office or out at the weekend. The steel look stays neutral against most clothes and the black dial keeps it serious.
