Raptor watch for men yellow steel bracelet 47 mm

Finished in a warm yellow, the stainless steel bracelet on this Raptor men's watch has a pleasing weight against the wrist, solid and cool at first and quickly settling to body temperature. The gold-tone metal case and black dial keep the look controlled rather than showy.

Dial and movement

The black dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and slim line markers organise the face without crowding it. Inside sits a VD57 quartz movement, so the time stays accurate with no winding and very little upkeep. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same visit.

Case and size

The round case measures 47 mm across and 14.5 mm thick, which places it firmly among the large watches. It suits broad wrists or anyone who likes a substantial presence. A mineral glass protects the dial day to day. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough for splashes, but take it off before showering or swimming. The watch weighs 174 g.

Bracelet and clasp

The links are the same yellow steel as the rest of the strap, and you adjust the fit by removing one or more of them. Our watch size guide explains the steps, and it is worth keeping any links you take out. A deployant clasp closes with a click and holds the watch securely when opened. The distance between the lugs is 24 mm, the figure you need if you ever swap the bracelet, and the total length is 24 cm.

Wearing it

Its size and gold-tone shine make it a confident choice for the office as much as for weekends. Pair it with a plain shirt or a knit and let the bracelet do the talking.
