Flip this Eichmüller over and the transparent case back shows the Miyota 8215 automatic movement at work, with no battery anywhere in the design. The stainless steel case is silver-coloured, round and 42 mm across, with a mineral glass front and a beige dial that keeps things easy to read.
The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist as you wear it. If the watch has sat in a drawer for a few days, turn the crown by hand to get it going again. The power reserve keeps it running for a while after you take it off, and if it does stop, wind it, then set the time. Setting is precise to the minute, because the seconds hand carries on moving while you adjust. A small window on the dial shows the date.
At 42 mm wide and 12 mm thick, the case suits most men's wrists without feeling bulky. Steel shrugs off sweat and everyday damp. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain, splashes and handwashing are fine, but take it off before swimming. The brown leather strap is 20 mm wide and will soften and develop a patina as you wear it. Keep it away from water and it will last far longer.
Leather and a beige dial sit comfortably with office clothes, and the watch looks just as natural with a casual shirt at the weekend. If you want to compare it with similar models, browse our men's automatic watches. It also arrives in a presentation box, which makes it an easy gift.
