Raptor men's watch steel bracelet 43 mm dark blue dial

The case and bracelet of this Raptor are stainless steel and silver-coloured metal, so the watch has a cool, solid feel against the skin and a weight you notice (133 g in total). The dial is dark blue, the movement is quartz, and the round case measures 43 mm across.

Build and readability

The silver-tone metal case is 11 mm thick, which gives it a confident presence without looking bulky. A mineral crystal covers the dark blue dial, and it resists scratches better than a plastic one. Baton hour markers stand out clearly against the hands, so the time is easy to read at a glance. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take the watch off before a shower or a swim. The movement is a Miyota 2115 quartz, an accurate and low-maintenance calibre. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

Bracelet and fit

The links are silver-coloured with gold-tone touches, and you adjust the length by removing one or more of them. Our watch size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any links you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and keeps the watch from slipping off when you remove it. The total length is 22 cm and the lug width is 20 mm, which is the measurement to know if you ever want to change the bracelet. With a 43 mm case, check that it does not overhang a slim wrist.

It is a watch for every day, equally at home at the office and at the weekend.
