Evisu, a fashion brand I think. Had it some years, used to be on a black leather strap &, if I'm honest, that would suit it better. Coloured straps, especially silicone ones, only really work on diver's watches.

Ah yeah, I see it now. I thought it looked older than it is. I wonder if it was inspired by a particular earlier design?

Bougth my fave watch earlier
seriusly cheap functional and small

I cant do analogue watches as it takes me ages to work out what time it is really get confused by the ones with three fingers, cant deny that they look realy nice

Nice watch Gaz.
I've almost pulled the trigger on the auto version of the Mondaine on a couple of occasions but ultimately decided it was a bit overpriced.

Really like that one, the white dial sets off the bracelet really well.
Square too, which is never a bad thing.
Some other nice variants too...
