At first glance the Raptor reads as a quiet piece of craftsmanship: grey wood from the case through to the bracelet, with a grey dial that keeps everything in one soft, muted register. It is a men's watch with a round 44 mm case, powered by a Miyota 2035 quartz movement and showing the time in analogue.
The case and bracelet are made of maple finished in grey, so the grain runs a little differently from one watch to the next. Wood also keeps the watch light on the wrist. The grey dial carries silver-coloured baton indexes, which mark the hours cleanly and make the time easy to read at a glance. A mineral glass protects the dial in daily use.
The case measures 44 mm across and 11 mm thick, so it has real presence and suits medium to larger wrists. If you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you judge what sits well on your wrist. The bracelet is 22 mm wide with a total length of 19 cm, and a deployant clasp closes it securely and keeps the watch from slipping when you take it off.
The quartz movement needs no winding and no fuss. When the battery runs down, you simply replace it. Water resistance is limited to splashes, which covers rain and washing your hands. Take the watch off for the shower or a swim, as wood does not like prolonged contact with water.
This is an easy watch to wear from the office to the weekend, understated enough to sit under a shirt cuff and natural enough to suit casual clothes.
