Raptor men's watch 43 mm

Most basic quartz watches give you a plain dial and a strap that never quite fits. The Raptor Elementary 43 mm is built with more thought: a blue dial with silver baton markers, a brown case, and a brown bracelet with a deployant clasp, all around a Miyota 2035 quartz movement.

Reading the time

The blue dial keeps things clear. Slim silver baton markers mark the hours without crowding the face, so you read the time at a glance. The display is analogue, the case is round, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would.

Bracelet and fit

The brown link bracelet is 22 mm wide and 21 cm long in total. To shorten it, you remove links, and it is worth keeping the spare ones in case you want to adjust it later. The deployant clasp closes with a click and holds the watch on your wrist when you open it. At 43 mm across and 11 mm thick, the case has real presence, so if you have a slim wrist it is worth checking the proportions first. Our watch size guide explains how to measure and how to take out links.

Movement and water resistance

The Miyota 2035 quartz movement keeps accurate time without any servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. The watch is splash resistant, which covers rain and hand washing. Showers, baths and swimming are not suitable.

The brown and blue combination works from the office to the weekend, with a shirt or a jumper, and the size makes it a watch you notice on your wrist every day.
