Raptor watch for men 40 mm brown leather strap

Where many entry-level quartz watches settle for a plain black dial and a stiff strap, the Raptor 'Falkor' goes for a warm brown dial paired with a brown leather strap and a silver-tone case. It is a men's watch with a quiet character, built around a Miyota 2115-6 quartz movement and a date window.

A dial made to be read

The brown dial carries Arabic numerals alongside baton hour markers, so the time registers at a glance without counting marks. The date sits in a small window and stays out of the way. The 40 mm round metal case is a standard size for a man's wrist, at 9.5 mm thick, and the crystal is mineral glass.

Movement and water resistance

Inside, the quartz movement keeps accurate time and needs no winding or regular adjustment. Only the battery needs replacing from time to time. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and washing your hands. It is not meant for swimming.

On the wrist

The strap is genuine brown leather, 20 mm wide, 25 cm long overall, and fastened with a pin buckle. Leather softens and develops a patina with wear, so the watch looks better after a few months than on day one. Keep it away from water to make it last. The whole watch weighs 47 g, light enough to forget you are wearing it.

Plain enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend, it works with a shirt as easily as a jumper. If you like the look and want to compare it with similar models, have a browse through our men's leather strap watches.
