Eichmüller automatic men's watch 42 mm 5 ATM white dial

Rose gold-tone case, white dial, brown leather strap: the Eichmüller reads as a smart, clean-faced dress watch before you notice anything else. It is a 42 mm round men's watch with an automatic movement, the Miyota 8215, so there is no battery to replace.

Movement and legibility

The automatic movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. If the watch has been sitting in a drawer, you can also wind it by hand with the crown. It has a power reserve, so it keeps running for a while once you take it off. When 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 watch the mechanism when you turn the watch over.

The white dial gives the hands strong contrast, and the hands are luminescent, so after exposure to light they stay readable in the dark. The date shows in a window on the dial.

Case, strap and size

The case is stainless steel, which resists corrosion, and it measures 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. Water resistance is 5 ATM: rain, splashes and handwashing are fine, but take it off for swimming. The brown leather strap softens and takes your shape over time, and it lasts longer if you keep it dry. The lug width is 20 mm, worth knowing if you want to fit a spare strap.

It is an everyday watch that moves easily from the office to the weekend, and the leather strap sits well with a shirt or a suit. If you like this style, you will find more in our men's automatic watches.
