Stepping up in the same dial colour
A clean, dressy bracelet watch built around the kind of dial that reads well against warm-toned metal: a very pale silver-white satin face with a debossed centre, clear stone hour markers and gold detailing that pulls the eye without crowding the dial. At 34mm it sits trimly on the wrist, and the integrated case profile means the bracelet flows into it rather than meeting it at an obvious joint. The tapered H-link bracelet adjusts by link removal, which gives a more precise fit than a standard folding clasp allows, and the butterfly closure sits flat against the underside of the wrist. At 169 grams it has more substance than most fashion watches of this size, which lends it a solidity it does not strictly need to have.

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?
20mm. 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, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
