Eichmüller men's watch, steel bracelet, 42 mm

Plenty of steel quartz watches look alike at first glance. What sets this Eichmüller apart is the way it keeps things measured: a black dial against a silver-tone case and bracelet, a Miyota 2115 quartz movement, a mineral glass crystal and a date window, with nothing added for show. At 42 mm across and 11 mm thick, it sits comfortably on the wrist without feeling heavy or oversized.

Dial, movement and crystal

The black dial makes the time easy to read at a glance, and the date appears in a small window. Inside, the quartz movement is accurate and needs no winding or setting beyond the time itself. When the battery runs down, you simply replace it. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would, which suits a watch meant to be worn daily. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, so rain, splashes and handwashing are fine, but it is not meant for swimming.

Case and bracelet

Both the round case and the bracelet are stainless steel in a silver finish, so the whole watch has a consistent, quiet look. The bracelet is 22 mm wide and made of links. To fit your wrist, you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out in case you need to adjust it again later.

The steel bracelet works as easily with a shirt and tailoring as with a pair of jeans, so this is a watch you can wear from the office through to the weekend without thinking about it. It also arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a thoughtful gift.
