Raptor watch for men 40 mm brown dial

Looking for a present for a man who likes his watches understated? This Raptor men's watch is an easy one to wrap: a round 40 mm case, a brown dial and a brown strap, with the case itself in blue for a little contrast. It is the kind of watch that gets worn the day after it is unwrapped and the day after that.

What you see on the wrist

The dial is brown, with slim silver-toned hour markers and an analogue display, so the time reads at a glance without any clutter. The case is 40 mm across and 12 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists. The mineral glass stands up to scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is limited to splashes, so a shower of rain or a hand wash is fine, but it should come off before a shower or a swim.

Movement and strap

Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, a dependable choice that asks nothing of the wearer beyond a new battery when the old one runs out. The brown bracelet is 20 mm wide and 22.5 cm long overall, made of links, and closes with a deployant clasp that fastens in one click and keeps the watch securely on the wrist when it is opened. If the fit needs adjusting, you can shorten it by removing links. Our watch size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any spare links in case they are needed later.

Whether he wears it to the office or for a weekend walk, this is a classic watch that fits easily into an everyday routine, and it is a gift he will actually reach for.
