Raptor men's watch 52 mm gold-tone steel bracelet

You check the time mid-meeting, one glance down, and the black dial of this Raptor men's watch answers at once. It is a 52 mm quartz watch with a gold-tone steel bracelet and a Miyota JP15 movement.

Reading the dial

The black face carries green details, with Arabic numerals and baton markers working together. You read the hour without counting marks, even when you are on the move. The display is analogue.

Movement and upkeep

The Miyota JP15 quartz movement keeps accurate time with no winding. When the battery runs flat, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same visit.

Case and water resistance

The round metal case measures 52 mm across and 13 mm thick, so this is a large, solid watch, best suited to broad wrists or anyone who likes a big presence. The mineral glass protects the dial through daily knocks. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes only. Keep it away from showers, baths and swimming. The watch weighs 183 g.

Bracelet and clasp

The gold-tone stainless steel bracelet is made of links, and you resize it by removing one or more of them. Our watch size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any spare links. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet easily and stops the watch slipping off when you take it off. The gap between the lugs is 24 mm, useful to know if you ever fit a replacement strap. Total length is 23 cm.

The gold-tone finish is not discreet, and it is meant to be seen. Wear it with a dark shirt or a plain jumper and let the watch do the talking.
