Raptor men's watch red leather strap 40 mm

This Raptor is an easy watch to live with: a 40 mm round case, just 9.5 mm thick, a date window and a quartz movement that needs no winding or setting. The model is called Falkor, and it pairs a red dial with a red leather strap on a silver-tone metal case.

Dial, movement and everyday use

The red dial keeps the time easy to read. Arabic numerals alternate with baton markers, and the markers are white, so nothing gets lost against the background. The date sits in a small window. Inside is a Miyota 2115-6 quartz movement, which is accurate and low maintenance. Only the battery needs changing now and then. The mineral glass protects the dial.

Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are fine. It is not meant for swimming.

Case and strap

The metal case is silver in colour and measures 40 mm across, a size that suits most men's wrists. The red leather strap is 25 cm long in total and closes with a pin buckle. It measures 20 mm between the lugs, the figure to note if you ever want to fit another strap. Leather softens and develops character with wear, but keep it dry to make it last.

The red adds a bit of colour without shouting, and the leather strap sits well with a shirt or a suit. It is just as comfortable with jeans and a plain jumper, which makes it easy to wear from morning to evening.
