Stepping up in Radley's range
Epping Forest lends this piece its name and its mood: the dial takes its floral patterning and grey palette from the woodland scenery north-east of London, with Radley's Scottie dog set quietly among the decoration. It is an explicitly illustrative design, closer to printed fabric than to conventional watchmaking, and it commits to that without apology. At 31mm the case sits small and close to the wrist, which suits the light character of the whole thing. The rose gold PVD and matching buckle keep the metal elements warm against the grey leather, and the 30m splash resistance means it can handle a typical day without needing to come off.

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?
No. It is hand-wound, so it needs winding every day or two but never a battery.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
