Raptor men's watch dual time 48 mm gold-tone steel bracelet

Most dual time watches look like instruments first and accessories second. This Raptor takes a quieter route: a gold-tone case, dial and bracelet in one consistent colour, with a second time zone that stays out of the way until you need it. It is a men's quartz watch with a 48 mm round case.

Two time zones, one clear dial

The dial pairs Arabic numerals with baton markers, so the hour reads at a glance without counting marks. The second time zone can be left on your home time while you travel, which is useful if you call, message or plan around people back home. Inside is a quartz movement, so there is nothing to wind. When the battery runs out, it simply needs replacing. The mineral glass protects the dial, and the water resistance is 3 ATM, enough for rain and hand washing. Take it off before a shower or a swim.

Case, bracelet and fit

At 48 mm across and 11 mm thick, the metal case is a large size, best suited to a broader wrist. The stainless steel bracelet is made of links and closes with a deployment clasp, which fastens with a click and holds the watch securely when opened. To adjust the length, remove one or more links. Our watch size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any links you take out in case you need them later. The distance between the lugs is 22 mm, a figure to note if you ever want a replacement strap. The overall length is 22 cm and the watch weighs 141 g.

The gold-tone finish gives this watch a confident look without shouting. It sits comfortably with a crisp shirt, a dark jacket or a simple knit, and its everyday practicality means it is just as happy on a weekday as on a trip.
