Eichmüller watch for men 42 mm black leather strap

A watch you can put on in the morning and forget about until evening: the Eichmüller men's watch pairs a black dial with a 42 mm stainless steel case and a black leather strap, and keeps time with a quartz movement that asks for no winding and no fuss.

Reading the time at a glance

The black dial gives clear, uncluttered contrast, so the hour is easy to take in whenever you glance down. A date window is included for the day of the month, and the display is analogue throughout. The case is silver-tone, round, and 11 mm thick, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff.

Movement and water resistance

Inside is a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without servicing. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same visit. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and washing your hands. It is not meant for swimming. The case is stainless steel, which resists corrosion, and the mineral glass stands up to scratches better than plastic.

Size and strap

At 42 mm, the case is a standard size for a man. If you are unsure how that sits on your wrist, the watch size guide will help you decide. The black leather strap softens and shapes itself to your wrist over the weeks, and it lasts longer if you keep it away from water. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap.

With its leather strap and plain black dial, it sits comfortably with a shirt or a suit, yet it is just as easy to wear at the weekend. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a tidy choice as a gift.
