Daniel Wellington Classic Sheffield DW00100139: 36 mm Black Dial on Rose Gold

The Daniel Wellington Classic Sheffield DW00100139 is a 36 mm quartz watch in rose gold PVD-plated stainless steel, with a black dial and a black leather strap. Sheffield is the Classic design with the plainest strap, and the all-black face and band make the rose gold case the single point of colour on the wrist. With a 36 mm diameter and a 6 mm profile, the case suits small and medium wrists and sits flat. The dark face keeps the rose gold plating from looking overly bright.

Case and Wrist Presence

The round case is made from rose gold PVD stainless steel and measures 36 mm across by about 6 mm thick. The surface is a warm pink-gold PVD plating over stainless steel, with a slim bezel that does not draw attention away from the dial. The crown is small and sits at three o’clock, and the back is a snap-on stainless steel plate. A mineral or similar hard crystal covers the face. The overall impression is of a light watch built for daily wear.

• 36 mm rose gold PVD stainless steel case – 6 mm thick, a slim round shape that stays flat on the wrist
• Black dial with rose gold markers – a high-contrast, uncluttered face that shows hours and minutes
• Black leather – fitted on spring bars so the strap can be changed
• Japanese quartz movement – no winding, no date to reset

Dial Layout

A matt black dial carries rose gold hour markers and rose gold hands for hours and minutes, with the brand name printed small under twelve o’clock. No date, no seconds hand and no sub-dial interrupt the face. With the black strap continuing the dial colour, the metal parts are the only things that catch the eye, and the watch has a sharp, graphic look.

Movement and Functions

The movement is Japanese quartz, battery driven and maintenance free apart from a battery change every few years. With two hands and no date or seconds display, there is little to go wrong or to adjust. Pull the crown out to set the time and push it back to lock.

• Hours and minutes – two hands, with no seconds hand, date or sub-dials
• Quartz accuracy – steady timekeeping from a battery
• Simple setting – one crown, nothing else to adjust

Strap and Fit

The strap is black genuine leather, 18 mm at the lugs, fitted with spring bars that allow a tool-free swap and closed with a rose gold-tone pin buckle. The retailer describes the leather as Italian. It is smooth, plain and quick to dress up or down, and fits wrist sizes from about 160 mm to 200 mm. Black leather also works as the neutral base for a later change of strap colour.

Water Resistance in Practice

A 3 ATM rating means the case is sealed against splashes and brief rain. It is not suitable for swimming, snorkelling, showering or saunas. If you want a watch for water, choose a model rated to at least 5 ATM, and keep this one for dry, everyday wear.

About the Classic Sheffield Range and Daniel Wellington

Daniel Wellington is a Swedish watch brand founded in 2011 by Filip Tysander, and it built its name on slim, minimal watches with interchangeable straps. The Classic collection is the foundation of that approach: a round case, a clean dial and a leather strap that can be changed to suit the occasion. The Classic Black range keeps the shape but turns the dial dark. Classic Sheffield is one of the named variants in that range, and it shares its case construction and strap fitting with its siblings.

Who This Watch Suits

• Women who want rose gold with a strict black and gold palette
• Wearers who need a quiet evening or office watch
• Buyers after a small, simple gift
• Anyone who likes a black strap with a metal case that stands out

Care and Maintenance

Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth, and keep the leather strap away from water, perfume and long periods in direct sun. Leather darkens and softens with wear, which is normal. If the strap gets damp, let it dry naturally rather than near a heater.
