Raptor watch for men black steel bracelet 40 mm

Dark, compact and uncluttered: the Raptor "Birdy" is a black steel men's watch that reads as understated before you notice any detail. It has a 40 mm round case, a quartz movement (Miyota 1L45) and a matching black steel bracelet.

Dial and legibility

The dial is black and brown, with silver-toned line indexes that mark the hours without crowding the face. Seconds run in a small separate sub-dial set off-centre, so the main hands stay easy to read at a glance, even on the move.

Quartz movement

The Miyota 1L45 keeps accurate time with no winding and no servicing routine. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open.

Case and water resistance

The stainless steel case is black, 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, and the watch weighs 91 g. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic. It is splash resistant, so rain or washing your hands is fine, but take it off for the shower or a swim. Not sure 40 mm suits your wrist? Our watch size guide will help you decide.

Bracelet and clasp

The black and brown bracelet is made of links, and you can shorten it by removing some. The size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any spare links in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes with a click and stops the watch dropping when you take it off. Width between the lugs is 20 mm, the figure to know if you ever want to change the strap. Total length is 24.5 cm.

It is a watch for every day, from the office to the weekend, and the metal bracelet makes it easy to wear all day long.
