Eichmüller automatic men's watch 41 mm black leather strap

A white dial against a black leather strap and a silver-tone steel case: this Eichmüller goes with almost anything, from a navy suit to a grey jumper and dark jeans. It is an automatic men's watch with a 41 mm round case, 12 mm thick, and a water resistance of 5 ATM.

Automatic movement and power reserve

The Miyota 8219 automatic movement is wound by the movement of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. You can also wind it by hand using the crown, which is useful if the watch has been sitting in a drawer. The power reserve keeps it running for a while after you take it off. Beyond that it stops, and you simply wind it and set the time again. The seconds hand keeps running while the crown is pulled out, so you can set the time to the exact minute. The transparent case back lets you see the mechanism when you turn the watch over.

Reading the dial

The white dial is easy to read at a glance. The hands and hour markers carry luminescent material, so after exposure to light they stay visible in the dark. Seconds are shown in a separate, off-centre sub-dial, and a window displays the date. A 24-hour indication tells you whether it is day or night.

Case, glass and strap

The stainless steel case resists corrosion and is fitted with mineral glass. At 41 mm it is a standard size for a man's wrist, and our watch size guide can help you decide if you are unsure. The 5 ATM rating covers rain and splashes, but this is not a watch for swimming. The black leather strap is 20 mm wide. It softens and develops a patina with time, and keeping it away from water will help it last.

This is a watch for every day, equally at home at the office and at the weekend. It comes in a presentation box, which makes it easy to give as a gift.
