Daniel Wellington Petite York DW00100176: Rose Gold with a Croc-Embossed Strap

The Daniel Wellington Petite York DW00100176 is a 32 mm women’s quartz watch with a rose gold plated stainless steel case, an eggshell white dial and a deep brown strap in embossed leather. The York is the textured member of the Petite line: where the other references use a smooth strap, this one has a crocodile-style grain that adds a little depth to an otherwise very minimal watch.

The watch shows the time only. There is no date and no extra dial, so the strap is the one place the design has any texture.

Case

The round case is 32 mm across, made from stainless steel with a rose gold plated finish. The brand’s York page lists a thickness of 6 mm for the model, which keeps the profile slim, although that figure comes from the brand’s current York listing rather than from a page for this exact reference. The case sits in the Petite range’s usual proportions: a modest diameter with a thin edge.

The rose gold tone is soft and slightly pink rather than yellow, which sets it apart from classic gold-tone cases and pairs naturally with a brown strap.

• 32 mm round stainless steel case
• Rose gold plated finish
• Slim profile of about 6 mm per the brand
• Pull crown at three o’clock for setting

Dial

The dial is eggshell white, a warm off-white that is easier on the eye than a bright white. Slim baton markers mark the hours, and the hands are in the same rose gold as the case. The face has no date window, so the layout is open and calm. In daylight the rose gold hands read well against the pale ground, and the thin lines keep the face looking light.

A retailer describes this reference as a dress-style watch, which suits the dial: it is understated enough for the office and neat enough for dinner.

Movement

A Japanese quartz movement powers the hands from a battery. That means no winding, steady timekeeping and a simple routine for setting: pull the crown out, set the hands, and push the crown back in. Functions are hours, minutes and seconds.

• Japanese quartz, battery powered
• Time-only layout
• Easy setting at the crown

Deep Brown Embossed Strap

The strap is dark brown leather with a crocodile-embossed surface. The brand lists this strap style as attached with spring bars, with an adjustable length of roughly 145 mm to 185 mm. Being spring-bar fitted, it can be swapped for another strap of the same lug width, which for the 32 mm Petite is 14 mm. A closing buckle holds it in place.

The embossed grain hides small scratches better than smooth leather does, and the dark brown against rose gold gives the watch a rich, slightly vintage look.

Water Resistance

The rating is 3 ATM, or 30 metres, which means rain and splashes only. Do not swim or shower with the watch, and keep the leather away from soaking.

Who It Suits

• Women who like a little texture without a busy dial
• Anyone who prefers a darker, richer strap with rose gold
• Wearers who want a light, slim, time-only watch
• Gift buyers after something simple but not plain

Care Notes

Wipe the case with a soft, dry cloth, and clean the embossed strap gently with a dry brush if dust gathers in the grain. Avoid perfume, creams and prolonged sun on the leather. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker when needed, and ask for the case-back seal to be checked.
