Looking for a present for a man who always checks the time before the kettle has boiled? This Eichmüller men's watch is a straightforward pick: a 43 mm round case in silver-tone metal, a grey dial and a matching metal bracelet, all driven by a TMI PC21 quartz movement.
The grey dial keeps things clear at a glance. The hands and the hour markers both carry a luminescent coating, so once they have soaked up some light they stay readable in a dark room or on the walk home. The display is analogue, with no extras to scroll through.
At 43 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case has real presence on the wrist, so if yours is on the slim side, check the size first. The mineral glass protects the dial through daily knocks, and water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which means splashes are fine but it should come off before a shower or a swim. The quartz movement needs no winding or setting, and only the battery will want replacing from time to time.
The bracelet is made of links, and you can shorten it by removing a few. Keep any spare links, as they may come in handy later, and our watch size guide explains how to measure up. Between the lugs the width is 22 mm, the figure to note if you ever fancy swapping the strap.
It is an easy watch to wear every day, from the office to a weekend out, and it dresses up or down without fuss.
