Raptor men's watch 47 mm blue dial

The first thing you notice is the blue: a deep dial set in a blue metal case, framed by a black stainless steel bracelet. It is a large, quiet piece, and the Raptor men's watch with its 47 mm case keeps its character restrained rather than loud.

The dial and how it reads

Slim baton hour markers in a gold-tone finish stand out cleanly against the blue, so the time is clear at a glance. The display is analogue, with nothing added that does not need to be there. The case is round, with a mineral glass over the dial.

Size and water resistance

At 47 mm across and 14.5 mm thick, this is a watch with presence, and it weighs 174 g. It suits broader wrists or anyone who simply likes a substantial watch. If you are unsure how it will sit on yours, our watch size guide explains how to measure and adjust. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take it off before a shower or a swim.

Movement

Inside is a quartz movement, the VD57. It is accurate, needs no winding or setting routine, and all it asks of you is a new battery when the current one runs out.

Bracelet and fit

The black steel bracelet is 24 mm wide and 24 cm long in total. You adjust the fit by removing one or more links, and it is worth keeping any you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet easily and keeps the watch secure on your wrist when opened.

It is dark and composed enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend, so it can be worn every day without fuss.
