Eichmüller automatic men's watch brown leather strap

Turn this Eichmüller over and you can see the movement at work through the transparent case back. Inside is the automatic Miyota 8215, which winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace. It is a round men's watch in stainless steel with a gold-tone case, a silver dial and a brown leather strap.

What the mechanism does for you

If the watch has been sitting in a drawer for a few days, you can restart it by hand with the crown. Once it is running, the power reserve keeps it ticking for a while after you take it off. If it does stop, wind it and reset the time. The seconds hand keeps moving while you set the time, so you can get it right to the minute. The dial also carries a date window and a 24-hour indication, handy for telling day from night at a glance.

Size, case and strap

The case measures 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists. Not sure about yours? Our watch size guide will help you decide. The mineral glass protects the silver dial from everyday knocks, and the water resistance is 5 ATM, enough for rain and splashes but not for swimming. The brown leather strap is 20 mm wide and softens to the shape of your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it dry and it will last.

With a leather strap and a plain silver dial, it sits comfortably under a shirt cuff or with a suit, and it is just as happy with a casual jacket at the weekend. It comes in a presentation box, so it is ready to give as a gift.
