Stepping up in Radley's range
The Selby Street collection is Radley's dressed-up range, and this piece reflects that brief clearly: a pale gold-tone case at 26mm, slim enough to sit nearly flush against the wrist, carrying a silver-satin dial with an etched surface pattern that shifts in diffuse light. The gold-tone hands and dot indices keep the face legible without competing with the texture beneath them. The Scottie dog charm fixed to the lower case lug is the signature that runs through Radley's watches, and here it reads as a finishing detail rather than an afterthought — small enough at this scale not to overpower the proportions. The black leather strap pulls the warmth of the gold tone back toward something cooler, and the contrast is well-judged for a case this size.

Learn more about Radley
Radley London was founded in 1998 as a handbag brand, and named for the founder's Scottish terrier. The dog became the logo, and remains the single most recognisable thing about the label — stamped, embossed, or hanging from a bag as a leather charm.
The watches are licensed rather than manufactured in-house, produced by a specialist watch maker under agreement and sold through the same department stores and jewellers as the bags.
They are designed as accessories to the accessories: slim cases, printed or textured dials, coloured leather straps, and the terrier appearing on the dial, the caseback or the strap keeper. Quartz movements, gift-market pricing.
Radley is a well-run British accessories brand and its watches are exactly what the label suggests they are — coordinated, characterful and inexpensive, rather than horological.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
10mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
