The Men's Gold Dress Watch from Smith Watches is a 40 mm classic timepiece with a day-date window at 3 o'clock, Roman numeral hour markers, a gold stainless steel case, and a genuine leather strap. Precision Japanese quartz movement, 3 ATM water-resistant, 2-year warranty.
What is a dress watch?
A dress watch is a thin, understated watch designed to slip under a shirt cuff at a formal event. It prioritises clean legibility, a small case, and a leather strap over sport features. Our 40 mm case is a modern interpretation of the classic dress silhouette.
Why a day-date display?
The day-date shows both the day of the week and the date through a single window at 3 o'clock — the most practical complication on a daily-wear watch, popularised by the Rolex Day-Date in 1956. Ours updates at midnight and has quick-set via the crown.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a real gold watch?
The case is 316L stainless steel with a gold PVD finish. It has the colour and lustre of solid gold with far better scratch resistance, at a fraction of the price. We do not claim solid gold.
Which dial colour should I pick?
White dial suits navy, charcoal, and grey suits and gives a cleaner, more formal look. Black dial pairs well with black tie, dark denim, and brown leather.
Can I swim with it?
No. 3 ATM is rated for hand-washing and rain, not submersion. Leather straps should not be submerged regardless of the watch rating.
How long does the battery last?
Approximately 2 years on normal wear. Any watchmaker can replace the CR2025 cell in under 10 minutes for a small fee. Battery replacement is not covered under warranty (industry standard).
Can I change the strap?
Yes. The strap uses 20 mm lug width with quick-release spring bars, so you can swap between leather, rubber, canvas, or NATO straps in about 30 seconds without tools.
