Raptor men's watch rectangular metal case

The first thing worth noting about the Raptor is its rectangular metal case, a shape that sets it apart from the usual round dials. Inside sits a VD53 quartz movement, and the model name is Oscar. It is a men's watch with an analogue display, and the hour markers are slim baton indexes that keep the dial easy to read at a glance.

Movement and care

The quartz movement keeps reliable time without any winding or fuss. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the watch is open. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means you can wear it in the rain and while washing your hands. Showers, baths and swimming are not what it is made for, so take it off before those. The glass is mineral.

Bracelet and fit

The bracelet is made of metal links, and you fit it to your wrist by removing one or more of them. If you have not done this before, our watch size guide walks you through it step by step. Keep any links you take out, in case you ever need to adjust the length again. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and holds the watch securely on your wrist when you open it.

It is an easy watch to live with day to day, comfortable enough for the office and just as happy on a weekend walk or a lazy Sunday lunch.
