Limit 5955 Rose Tone Brown Leather Strap Watch - W77162
Ref. 5955
Sits in Limit’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Limit watches we list, which start at £15.
Price range £15 to £45 across 31 Limit watches in stock.At 6mm thick, this sits genuinely flat against the wrist — slim enough to disappear under a shirt cuff without catching or bunching. The rose gold PVD case and silver dial work simply and directly together, with baton markers and a date at three that keep the face uncluttered and legible. The brown strap carries a crocodile texture and fastens with a traditional tang buckle, which suits the quiet formality of the overall look.

Learn more about Limit
Limit has been sold in Britain since 1912, and for most of that time it has occupied one position without much deviation: the cheapest watch in the shop that is still worth owning.
It sits under Time Products, the same ownership as Sekonda and Accurist, which gives all three shared sourcing and distribution across British jewellers, catalogue retailers and department stores.
The range is deliberately conservative — plain dials, Roman or baton markers, gold-plated and stainless cases, leather and bracelet straps, mostly quartz with a small number of mechanical models. Pocket watches remain part of the catalogue, which few brands can still say.
It is a first watch, a school watch, a work watch and a gift watch, and it has been all four for over a century without pretending to be anything else.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedCheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
