Daniel Wellington Classic Petite DW00100173: Rose Gold with a Black Leather Strap

The DW00100173 is a 32 mm women’s quartz watch from the Classic Petite range. It has a white dial and a rose gold case, and the strap is black leather. That black strap is the main difference from the brown-strapped references in the same family, and it gives the watch a sharper, more evening-ready look while the face stays light and open.

Case and Proportions

The case is round, 32 mm in diameter and about 6 mm thick, made from stainless steel in a rose gold tone. The slim depth keeps the watch low on the wrist, and the modest diameter means it reads as a delicate piece rather than a statement one. A narrow black strap beneath the pink-gold metal creates a clear outline: the eye goes first to the case, then to the dial.

• 32 mm stainless steel case – rose gold tone, around 6 mm thick
• Black strap – strong contrast with the metal
• Scratch-resistant mineral glass – for daily wear

Dial Details

The dial is white, with rose gold hour indices and rose gold hands for hours and minutes. A white face behind a black strap is a classic pairing: it keeps the watch bright and legible while the strap supplies the depth. There are no sub-dials, no date window and no extra scales, so the dial shows only the time and the brand name. This plain layout is quick to read and suits people who do not want a watch that asks for attention.

• White dial – uncluttered and bright
• Rose gold indices and hands – slim and sharp
• Time-only display – easy to set and easy to read

Movement

The watch has a quartz movement driven by a battery, so there is no winding and no need to reset it every day. Its job is simply to keep steady time, and the same simplicity is what lets the case stay thin. A battery change when it runs out is all the upkeep it needs.

The Black Leather Strap

The strap is 14 mm wide black leather with a tang clasp, meaning a classic pin-and-buckle closure. Black leather is the easiest strap colour to dress up or down: it works with a dark suit, jeans and a plain top, or a dress. It also hides marks better than lighter leathers. Because the strap is a standard width, it can be replaced with another 14 mm strap if you want to change the character of the watch later, for example to a metal mesh band.

Water Resistance

The watch is water resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), which covers splashes and rain. It is not suitable for swimming, and it should be taken off before showering or washing up, particularly because leather degrades quickly when it is repeatedly soaked.

Who It Is For

• Women who want a small watch with a defined, high-contrast look
• Wearers who prefer a black strap for work and evenings
• Anyone who wants warm metal without a heavy case
• Buyers who like a plain dial with no date or sub-dials

Looking After It

Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid exposing the strap to perfume, oils or lengthy sunlight. If the leather gets wet, pat it dry and leave it to air out away from heaters. A watchmaker should change the battery and check the seal to keep the 3 ATM rating. Keep it in a pouch or box when you are not wearing it, so the polished metal avoids scratches from other jewellery.
