Stepping up in the same dial colour
The dial tells you exactly what kind of watch this is: the Radley Scottie dog perched on a crescent moon, surrounded by small stars, on a white ground with rose gold baton indices. It is not trying to be anything other than a piece of jewellery that also keeps time, and at 31mm with a 7mm profile it wears accordingly — sitting flat and light on the wrist, the rose gold PVD case barely registering against the skin at 40 grams all in. The Milanese mesh bracelet is the detail that lifts it. The ripple of the weave reads warmer than a plain link bracelet, and the sliding fold-over clasp means fit can be dialled in without tools, which matters on a bracelet this fine.

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.
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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
15mm. 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.
