Raptor men's dual time watch 48 mm steel bracelet

You are on an early morning call with a colleague in another country, and a glance at your wrist tells you both times without opening a phone. That is the point of this Raptor men's watch: a second time zone on a red and black dial, in a 48 mm case with a steel bracelet.

Dial, movement and case

The red dial is set against black, with Arabic numerals alternating with baton markers. The markers are silver-coloured, so the time reads quickly even on the move. The second time zone lets you follow another country's hour at the same time as your own. Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps the time accurate without any winding. When the battery weakens, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same visit.

The round case is metal in a silver colour, 48 mm across and 11 mm thick, topped with a mineral glass that resists scratches better than plastic. It is a large size, best suited to wider wrists. The watch weighs 141 g. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers rain and hand washing, but not showers, baths or swimming.

Bracelet and fit

The stainless steel bracelet is silver-coloured and made of links. You adjust the length by removing one or more links, and it is worth keeping the ones you take out. Our watch size guide explains how to do it. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and keeps the watch on your wrist when you open it. The lug width is 22 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever choose a replacement strap. Total length is 22 cm.

With its readable dial and sturdy build, this watch suits everyday wear, at the office on weekdays and in casual clothes at the weekend.
