Raptor men's watch 53 mm gold-tone steel bracelet

The first thing you notice about this Raptor is the weight and warmth of the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet, which has a solid, substantial feel on the wrist. Around it sits a round 53 mm metal case in the same gold tone, framing a green dial with gold-coloured line indices. It is a men's watch with real presence, built around a Miyota 2035 quartz movement.

Reading the dial

The green background makes the time easy to read at a glance, even when you are on the move. Slim line indices mark each hour cleanly, and being gold-tone they echo the case and bracelet, so the whole watch looks of a piece. The display is analogue, with a mineral glass that resists scratches better than plastic would.

Size, bracelet and fit

At 53 mm across and 13.5 mm thick, this is a big watch, best suited to wider wrists or anyone who simply likes a chunky piece. The bracelet is 26 mm wide and 25 cm long in total, made of links you can remove to shorten it, so keep any you take out. Our watch size guide explains how to do it step by step. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and holds the watch securely on your wrist when you open it.

Movement and water resistance

The Miyota 2035 quartz movement keeps reliable time without any fuss. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes but not showers, baths or swimming, so take it off before getting in the water.

It is an easy watch to live with every day, from the office to the weekend. If you enjoy a bold, gold-tone look with a touch of green, this one will happily carry it.
