Where a basic quartz watch simply tells the time, the Raptor Charley adds a little more presence: a deep blue dial set in a silver-tone metal case, a date window, and a Miyota 2115 movement inside. It is a men's watch with a generous 46 mm round case, black leather strap and a quiet, composed look.
The blue dial alternates Arabic numerals with baton hour markers, so the time is never in doubt. The markers are silver-toned and the date sits in a small window. Display is analogue throughout, with a mineral crystal over the dial.
At 46 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm thick, this is a large case, best suited to wider wrists or anyone who likes a substantial watch. If you are unsure, the watch size guide will help you decide. The black leather strap closes with a pin buckle and measures 25.5 cm in total length. The width between the lugs is 24 mm, the figure to note if you ever fit a different strap. Leather softens and develops character over time, though it is best kept away from water.
The quartz movement is dependable and asks very little of you: when the battery runs down, you simply replace it. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and handwashing. Take the watch off before showering or swimming.
With its leather strap and restrained colours, it sits easily alongside office clothes, and it is just as comfortable at the weekend. A watch you can put on every day and rarely think about.
