You are on the platform with a coffee in one hand, and a quick turn of the wrist tells you exactly how long you have. That is the kind of moment the Raptor Gabin is built for: a men's quartz watch with a black dial that reads at a glance, even when you are on the move.
The black dial carries simple line indexes, so the hours are easy to place without the face feeling crowded. Display is analogue, with nothing to decode. Over the dial sits a mineral glass.
Inside is a Miyota 2315 quartz movement, which keeps the time accurate without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.
The round case is made of silver-coloured metal and measures 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, so it is a large, solid watch best suited to wider wrists or anyone who likes a bold presence. It weighs 90 g. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and handwashing. Take it off before a shower or a swim.
The black leather strap is 24 mm wide and 26 cm long in total, closing with a pin buckle you can adjust hole by hole. Leather softens and takes your shape over the weeks, and it lasts longer if you keep it dry. If you enjoy this look, you can compare it with other men's leather strap watches in the shop.
On a working day the Gabin sits naturally with office clothes, from a shirt and trousers to a jacket, and its silver case and black strap keep it easy to wear from the first meeting to the evening commute.
