Raptor men's watch 46 mm steel bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet on this Raptor is made of links, and a deployant clasp closes it with a single click. It is a detail you notice every time you put the watch on, and it is the part of the design that feels most carefully thought through.

Case, dial and movement

The round case is 46 mm across and 14 mm thick, so this is a big, solid watch that suits a larger wrist. The case is metal in a rose gold colour, set against a black dial with simple line markers that keep the face clear and easy to read. The glass is mineral, which stands up to scratches better than plastic. Inside is a quartz movement, the VD53, which keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs down, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough for splashes, but take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

The silver-tone bracelet

The bracelet is 22 mm wide and 24 cm long in total. To fit it to your wrist, you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide shows you how. Keep the links you take out, in case you ever want to loosen it again. Because the clasp folds shut over itself, the watch stays secure while you put it on or take it off, and it is much less likely to slip from your hand.

This is an easy watch to wear from Monday morning to Sunday afternoon, with a shirt at work or a jumper at the weekend, as long as you like a watch with some presence on the wrist.
