Daniel Wellington Petite Bondi DW00100250: Silver-Tone Case and White Leather

The Daniel Wellington Petite Bondi DW00100250 is a 28 mm women’s quartz watch with a silver-tone stainless steel case, a white dial and a white leather strap. It is the cool-toned alternative to the rose gold Bondi, and the all-pale scheme gives it a crisp, clean look. It tells the time and nothing else, so the face is open and quick to read.

Within the Daniel Wellington Petite range, Bondi is the name for the leather-strapped versions, and this reference is the silver one.

Case and Fit

The round case is 28 mm wide and about 6 mm high. It is made of stainless steel in a silver tone, which pairs naturally with white leather and with silver or white-gold jewellery. The low profile lets the watch sit close to the wrist and pass under a cuff without catching. The compact diameter suits small to medium wrists.

• 28 mm round case – a petite women’s diameter
• About 6 mm thin – easy to wear under sleeves
• Silver-tone stainless steel – a neutral metal tone

White Dial

The dial is white and kept deliberately plain. A mineral crystal covers it, and the hour and minute hands move over a restrained set of markers. With so little on the face, the eye goes straight to the time. The white dial against the silver-tone case gives a bright, low-contrast finish that is easy on the eye and suits both daytime and evening wear.

Quartz Movement

A quartz movement drives the watch from a battery. That means steady timekeeping without winding, and the watch only needs attention when the battery runs down. It shows hours, minutes and seconds, and has no date or extra dials to configure.

• Battery-powered quartz – consistent accuracy
• Simple operation – set the time and wear it
• Mineral crystal – a glass cover that resists everyday wear

White Leather Strap

The strap is white leather, 12 mm wide at the case. Leather is comfortable against the skin and moulds to the wrist over the first weeks of wear. White is a light colour that can pick up marks from dark clothing and dyes, so it is worth wiping the strap occasionally and storing the watch away from dark fabrics when it is not on your wrist.

Everyday Wear

Because the watch is light and slim, it is easy to forget it is on your wrist. The 12 mm leather strap is narrow, which suits the small case and keeps the proportions balanced. It works equally well with a work shirt, a summer dress or a knitted jumper, and the white and silver palette fits most outfits without needing to be matched. Set the time by pulling out the crown, and push it back in fully afterwards so the case stays closed against dust and moisture. If the watch is going to be stored for a long period, keep it in a dry drawer away from direct sun, as strong light can slowly fade pale leather and age the strap.

Water Resistance

With a 3 ATM (30 metres) rating, this watch is splash resistant. It copes with light rain and washing hands, but should not be worn for swimming, showering or diving. Water can also damage and discolour the leather, so keep the strap dry.

Who It Suits

• Wearers of silver-toned jewellery
• Anyone who wants a small, light watch for work or study
• Gift buyers who want a neutral colour combination
• Those who value a plain dial with no extra features

Care and Maintenance

Dust the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. Treat the leather gently: a slightly damp cloth removes light marks, and it should then be left to dry naturally. Keep it away from perfume, cosmetics and strong sunlight. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker when it runs out, so the case seal is checked afterwards.
