Raptor watch for men blue dial 43 mm steel bracelet

Stainless steel has a certain coolness when you first fasten it, and a pleasing heft once it settles on the wrist. This Raptor men's watch is built around that feeling: a silver-tone case and a matching steel bracelet, with a blue dial that adds the only splash of colour. It runs on a Miyota 2115 quartz movement and the case measures 43 mm across.

What you see and what powers it

The blue dial is easy to read at a glance, and the line-shaped hour markers keep the layout crisp and uncluttered. Time is shown on an analogue display. The Miyota 2115 quartz movement keeps steady time without any winding. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The case is 11 mm thick and the glass is mineral. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so splashes are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.

Bracelet, fit and comfort

At 43 mm, the round case has real presence and suits medium to large wrists best. If you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you decide, and it also explains how to take out links to shorten the bracelet. Keep any links you remove, as they may be useful later. The bracelet is 20 mm wide and about 22 cm long in total, and it closes with a deployant clasp that snaps shut and helps stop the watch slipping off when you take it off. The whole watch weighs 133 g, so you will notice it, in a reassuring way.

With its metal bracelet and plain, sturdy look, it is an easy watch to wear every day, whether you are at work or out for the weekend.
