Eichmüller automatic men's watch grey dial 42 mm

At 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, this Eichmüller sits as a standard-sized men's watch: large enough to read at a glance, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff. The round stainless steel case is silver-coloured and the dial is grey. It is one of the pieces in our range of men's automatic watches.

Reading the dial

The grey dial keeps the display clear. Seconds run in a small separate sub-dial set off-centre, and the date appears in a small window. A 24-hour indication lets you tell day from night. The mineral glass sits over the dial.

Movement and power reserve

There is no battery. The automatic movement winds itself as you wear the watch, and you can also wind it by hand with the crown, which is useful for restarting it after a few days in a drawer. The power reserve keeps it running for a while once it is taken off. Beyond that it stops, and you simply wind it and reset the time. The seconds hand keeps moving while the crown is pulled out, so you can set the time to the minute. A transparent case back shows the movement when you turn the watch over.

Water resistance and strap

Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and washing your hands. It is not a watch for swimming. The brown leather strap is 20 mm wide and moulds to your wrist over the first weeks. Keep it dry to make it last.

The plain grey dial and brown leather suit most outfits, from office wear to a weekend jumper and jeans, and the steel case wears well day after day.
