Raptor men's watch steel bracelet 48.5 mm black dial

Most quartz watches stop at a plain dial and a small case. This Raptor goes further with a 48.5 mm round case, 13 mm thick, paired with a stainless steel bracelet and a deployant clasp. It is a large men's watch with a black dial, and it is clearly aimed at wrists that can carry the size.

Case, dial and movement

The metal case is silver-coloured and holds a quartz VD53 movement, which keeps time without any servicing. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The dial is black, which gives the hands good contrast, and the hours are marked by baton indexes in a gold tone so the face stays uncluttered. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes only. Showering, bathing and swimming are not advised.

Bracelet and fit

The bracelet is made of stainless steel links in silver and gold-tone, 22 mm wide, with a total length of 23.5 cm. To shorten it, you remove links. Keep any you take out, as they may be useful again later. Our watch size guide explains the method and will help you decide whether a 48.5 mm case suits your wrist. The deployant clasp closes with a click and keeps the watch secure on the wrist when you open it.

Day to day, this is a watch for the office and the weekend alike, as long as you like a substantial piece on your wrist.
