Eichmüller automatic men's watch, leather strap, 42 mm

You are checking the time on the train, one hand on the rail. With a white dial and a plain analogue layout, this Eichmüller automatic reads at a glance, and the date sits in a small window so you do not need to count days in your head. It is a men's watch with a round 42 mm case, 12 mm thick, in silver-tone stainless steel.

What drives it

Inside is a Miyota 8215 automatic movement. It winds from the motion of your arm, so there is no battery to replace. You can also wind it by hand with the crown, which helps if it has spent a few days in a drawer. A power reserve keeps it running for a while once you take it off. If it stops, wind it and reset the time. The seconds hand keeps moving while you set the time, so you set it to the minute rather than the second. A transparent case back lets you see the movement when you turn the watch over. If you like this kind of mechanism, our men's automatic watches are worth a look.

Case, glass and water resistance

The stainless steel case copes with sweat and everyday damp. The mineral glass stands up to scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and washing your hands. Take it off before swimming.

The strap

The black leather strap softens and takes shape on your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it dry to make it last. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, the figure you need if you ever want to fit a different strap.

The leather and the silver-tone case sit comfortably with a shirt or a suit, and the watch is supplied in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a gift.
