Raptor watch for men 47 mm white dial steel bracelet

Cool and weighty on the wrist, the steel bracelet is the first thing you notice about this Raptor men's watch. It carries a round 47 mm case with a white dial, quartz movement (VD54) and a model name of Raptor Limited Soheil. The whole watch weighs 79 g, so expect a solid presence rather than a featherweight.

Reading the time

The white dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the blue index markers add a touch of colour against the silver-toned bracelet and the blue case. Arabic numerals sit alongside baton markers, so you can read the time at a glance without counting lines.

Size, glass and water

At 47 mm across and 13 mm thick, this is a big watch with real volume, best suited to broad wrists or anyone who likes a chunky piece. The mineral glass stands up to scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and hand washing but not showers, baths or swimming. The quartz movement needs no winding or setting, and only the battery needs replacing from time to time.

Fit and fastening

The bracelet is made of stainless steel links, and you shorten it by removing links. Our watch size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any links you take out. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with no fuss and helps stop the watch slipping off when you take it from your wrist. Lug width is 23 mm, useful to know if you ever want a spare strap, and the total length is 22.5 cm.

With its metal bracelet and clear dial, it works as an everyday watch, at the office on weekdays and with casual clothes at the weekend.
