Eichmüller automatic men's watch black leather strap

You pick it up from the bedside table in the morning, give the crown a few turns if it sat there all weekend, and it is running before the kettle boils. This Eichmüller automatic men's watch runs on a Miyota 8215 movement and pairs a stainless steel case with a black leather strap.

Movement

There is no battery. The automatic movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist, and you can also wind it by hand with the crown. Once you take it off, the power reserve keeps it going for a while. If it has stopped, wind it, then set the time. The seconds hand keeps moving while you set it, so you can set it to the minute. A transparent caseback lets you see the mechanism when you turn the watch over.

Dial and date

The black dial is easy to read at a glance. A small window shows the date.

Case size and water resistance

The round case is 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, a fit for most men's wrists. If you are unsure, our watch size guide will help you decide. The stainless steel case copes with sweat and everyday damp, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and hand washing. It is not meant for swimming.

Leather strap

The black leather strap softens and develops character with wear. Keep it away from water and it will last. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, worth noting if you want to fit a spare strap later.

Black leather and a silver-tone case sit comfortably under a shirt cuff or a suit sleeve, and just as easily with a weekend jumper. It is a watch for every day, from the office to Saturday. It comes in a presentation box, which is handy if it is a gift. To compare other models, see our automatic watches for men.
