Raptor men's watch 45 mm green silicone strap

You are halfway out of the door with a coffee in one hand, and the watch on your wrist tells you at a glance that you still have time. That is the kind of everyday ease the Raptor 45 mm is built around: a quartz men's watch with a green dial, a green silicone strap and no unnecessary fuss.

Reading the dial

The green dial is easy to read, and baton hour markers in rose gold-tone organise it without crowding it. The display is analogue, with a round case in rose gold-tone metal that sets off the green nicely. A mineral glass protects the dial and stands up to scratches better than plastic would.

Size and what is inside

The case measures 45 mm across and 10 mm thick, so it has real presence on the wrist. If your wrist is on the slim side, check that the case does not overhang before you decide. The watch weighs 86 g. Inside, a Miyota JP25 quartz movement keeps reliable time without any attention from you. 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, which covers splashes and rain, but take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

The strap and how it feels

The green silicone strap shrugs off sweat and water, and a quick rinse under the tap is all the cleaning it needs. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, and its total length is 27 cm. The gap between the lugs is 22 mm, which is worth noting if you ever want a spare strap. If you like the look of silicone, you can browse more men's silicone strap watches in the shop.

Worn from the office to the weekend, the Raptor does not ask for any special treatment. You put it on in the morning, rinse the strap when it needs it, and get on with your day.
